• Aided by wizard Gandalf the Grey (Ian McKellen) and a mysterious ranger named Strider (Viggo Mortensen), afterwards revealed to exist Aragorn, the rightful heir to the kingdom of Gondor, immature hobbit Frodo Baggins (Elijah Woods) and his 3 friends—Samwise "Sam" Gamgee (Sean Astin), Peregrin "Pippin" Took (Billy Boyd), and Meriadoc "Merry" Brandybuck (Dominic Monaghan)—set out to conduct an aboriginal evil ring to the Elven kingdom of Rivendell, where they are joined by elf Legolas Greenleaf (Orlando Bloom), dwarf Gimli (John Rhys-Davies), and man Boromir (Sean Edible bean), forming a fellowship pledged to destroy the ring by tossing information technology into the fires of Mount Doom to preclude it falling into the easily of its maker, Sauron, who would apply information technology to embrace the world of Middle Earth in darkness and war. Edit

• The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Band was based on the first of iii parts of the fantasy novel The Lord of the Rings, written by the English language academic and author J R R Tolkien. The other two parts in the story (both movie and novel) are The Ii Towers and The Render of the King. The singular novel was divided into these three parts and six books to keep their selling prices more affordable to buyers when there was a paper shortage in the mid-1950s. This novel'south three primary parts (The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Render of the King) were adapted for the movie by New Zealand screenwriter Philippa Boyens, director Peter Jackson, and Jackson'southward wife, screenwriter Fran Walsh. Edit

• Information technology is Galadriel (Cate Blanchett) who narrates the prologue. It was originally going to be Frodo, but information technology was felt that this would give besides much of the story away (i.east. that Frodo makes it through his perilous journey with the band). In that location was too 1 version with Gandalf, only that would have resulted in similar issues involving giving abroad later events. In the end, Galadriel was chosen due to her ageless quality and her all-knowing actions in the pic. Edit

• Sauron (Sala Bakery) himself made only one of the 20 rings, the famed "one ring to rule them all," although he assisted in the cosmos of the nine rings for mortal men and the 7 rings for the dwarves. The three rings for the elven-kings were forged solitary by Celebrimbor, with noesis obtained from Sauron. Three Rings for the Elven-kings nether the sky, Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die, One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne, In the land of Mordor where the shadows lie. One Band to rule them all, Ane Ring to find them, I Band to bring them all, and in the darkness demark them, In the land of Mordor where the shadows lie. Edit

• The nine kings who were given the Nine Rings of Mortal Men were gradually suborned by them, fading into the shadow world and becoming the Black Riders, or Nazgul (also called Band Wraiths). They do not appear to wear the Rings any more; reference is made to them being in Sauron'due south possession and no effort is fabricated to think the Witch-King'south Band after his death. Galadriel, Elrond (Hugo Weaving) and Gandalf each possess one of the Three Rings of the Elves. Gandalf got the Ring of Burn, Narya, from Círdan, an Elven lord who lives in the Greyness Havens. Círdan in plough received it from Gil-galad. The Band of Air, Vilya, was originally given to Gil-galad, who subsequently gave it to Elrond. Galadriel possessed the Ring of Adamant, Nenya. They weren't enslaved past Sauron because he wasn't directly involved in their creation; in addition, they stopped using their Rings when they realized Sauron was evil and kept them hidden and so he couldn't notice them. Seven Rings were given to the Dwarves. They would take become corrupted past Sauron, simply they ended upward existence too stubborn, and Sauron couldn't take command of them. He managed to learn three of the Seven Dwarven Rings through state of war, trickery and theft, and the other four were consumed by dragonfire. It is said that, although Sauron couldn't bend the dwarves to his will, he was able to make them greedier and decumbent to bad decisions (such as trying to resettle Moria) and hoarding the dandy treasures beneath Erebor instead of sharing them with the other races of Middle Earth, a concept that's explored more fully in Jackson's Hobbit serial. Edit

• There are degrees of innate ability amidst the Maiar. Some are inherently much more than powerful than others. Gandalf's forcefulness was primarily that of wisdom rather than of brute force. Besides, Gandalf, Saruman, and the other wizards were bound to their mortal grade to forbid them from using their total strength to intervene in the affairs of Center Earth. Gandalf had to be sent back with more ability after his body was destroyed in his fight with the balrog. Sauron took many centuries to acquire his power through corrupt influence. Edit

• Not really. Tolkien described them as "relatives" of the race of Men. Elsewhere he describes them every bit a "variety" or separate "branch" of humans. The main differences are that hobbits are much shorter (typically a picayune over a metre / 3′vi″ in elevation); practise not abound facial hair; live longer (they only "come of age" in 33 years and have a life expectancy of effectually 100), and their feet are covered in fur and have difficult leathery soles (so they do not demand shoes). Edit

• He doesn't get his staff dorsum. The staff he has after leaving Isengard is a different staff from the ane he had at the kickoff of the moving-picture show. The ii staves are shown in the Fellowship of the Ring Appendices 1 Design Galleries section. It'south also very possible that Gandalf had other staves subconscious around Centre Earth in case whatsoever were lost or damaged beyond use. He reacquires the new staff around the time he meets the hobbits in Rivendell so information technology'southward quite likely that he'd stored one there. The new one he wields but looks very much like the ane he lost. Edit

• In improver to Elrond, Gandalf, Frodo, Gimli, Legolas, Aragorn, and Boromir the pic shows dwarves, elves, and men. The dwarves included Glóin, Gimli's father. The elves were probably high-ranking elves who lived in Rivendell, Lorien, and the Greyness Havens. And the men were supposed to be traders and merchants from Lake-boondocks and Dale. The Council in the picture show differs from that of the book. By the Book: Aragorn, Bilbo Baggins, Boromir, Elrond Half-elven, Erestor and other counsellors of Elrond, Frodo Baggins, Galdor of the Havens, Gandalf, Gimli, Glóin, Glorfindel, and Legolas. Edit

• He realised how evil the Ring actually was and how much Sauron wanted it. Then looking at the Quango arguing he knew that he was the simply person who could accept the ring to Mount Doom and destroy it. The Council would never trust anyone else, and he was the but person who was not in a position to "use" the Band. He realized that he was fated to be Ring-bearer. Frodo was a virtuous individual and possessed an inner strength recognized by both Elrond and Gandalf, making him the perfect ring-bearer. Frodo knows, possibly earlier inbound upon the quest, that it volition mean his "doom", if not bodily death, so the loss of the life he knows and loves. Galadriel, queen of the people of Lothlórien and keeper of one of the 3 Elven Rings, foresees this. Elrond (another ring-bearer) may also see it but is not as empathetic as Galadriel. He talks Gandalf into letting Frodo comport the 1 Ring to Mount Doom, since men cannot be trusted. It also makes for a great tale of tragedy in the span of LOTR considering Frodo is gradually affected by the Ring's power. Edit

• Frodo's journeying was nearly 1800 miles (nigh 2990 kilometres). Edit

• In the novel, Boromir did receive a golden belt from Galadriel simply, in both novel and moving-picture show, he died soon afterwards the visitor left Lothlorien. Peter Jackson apparently chose to focus the screen-time in this scene on the giving of those gifts that had a part to play later in the story (or, in Gimli'south case, showed something about the character). Edit

• Yes. Galadriel is Arwen's grandmother. Arwen's male parent Elrond married Galadriel's daughter. Arwen seems to have dissever her time (thousands of years!) before coming together Aragorn, between her father's dwelling in Rivendell and her grandmother'south home in the forest of Lothlórien. Though she and Aragorn met in Rivendell, they "plight their troth" (go engaged) on a colina known as Cerin Amroth in Lothlórien. This is where Arwen goes later Aragorn'south death, as predicted past her father, set up to face up the mortality that she has chosen. Finally, she lies down on the hill and dies and, presumably, enters the aforementioned afterlife as does Aragorn. This part is told in ane of the Appendices. Edit

• Gimli didn't know the password to the door because that knowledge was lost. It was too long ago when dwarves had lived there. Elves built the door, back when they were friends with the Dwarves, thousands of years beforehand. Simply, nobody used the password much, because the doors were always open in friendlier times. Edit

• Every bit Gandalf explains, the Dwarfs had dug so deep in the mines of Moria that by the year 1980 of the Third Age (i,020 years prior to Bilbo's 111th birthday at the showtime of the film), they awoke the Balrog, who decimated their numbers. The Mines of Moria were abandoned by the Dwarfs for centuries since, and were occupied by Orcs and other foul things. In the year 2799, a group of Dwarfs (including Balin and Thorin) defeated the Orcs at the eastern gates of Moria (the aforementioned place where the Fellowship exits the mines in the movie). However, the Dwarfs dared not enter Moria out of fear for the Balrog, a powerful demon. 141 years after, in 2940, they went on another quest; they re-claimed their old kingdom of Erebor, by defeating Smaug the Dragon (as seen in The Hobbit prequels). In 2988, Balin and a contingent of Dwarfs left Erebor to establish a new Dwarf colony in Moria. After a short period of correspondence with their home state, they were never heard from again. Nonetheless, Gimli causeless Balin would still exist there with a successful colony to "give them a royal welcome", only to observe that the mines had been infested by Goblins once again, and the Balrog was still at that place. Because Dwarves in Tolkien's world alive very long (equally much as 250 years), visits to encounter their kin, which are common among humans in our age, weren't as frequent. Information technology may have been decades since Gimli had last seen his cousin and, in the intervening time, Moria was attacked again and its inhabitants killed. Edit

• Information technology was likely contained of Sauron. The Balrog was a beingness of the same order equally Gandalf, Saruman and Sauron. If Sauron were to become to Moria the Balrog would probably recognize him. Sauron in the Kickoff Age was the #one Lieutenant of the first Nighttime Lord Morgoth and as such was of a higher rank than the Balrogs. Whether the Balrog would accept followed orders from Sauron in the 3rd Age is debatable, since his fidelity was to the first Dark Lord Morgoth. Edit

• Y'all cannot laissez passer! I am a servant of the Secret Fire (In Tolkien'southward legendarium, the Underground Burn is the life-giving power imparted to the world by Eru / Ilúvatar, the creator God), wielder of the Flame of Anor. (Anor is the Sindarin, an Elvish linguistic communication, term for the Sun. The dark fire will not avail you, Flame of Udûn! (Udûn or Utumno is the fortress of Melkor/Morgoth, an evil deity in Tolkien's works.) Go dorsum to the Shadow. (Sauron himself, and the power of darkness he commands, is often referred to as the Shadow.) Yous shall not pass! (Gandalf is telling the Balrog he is forbidden to cantankerous the bridge.) Edit

• He says, "Fly, you fools!" Turning on the closed captions or subtitles reveals the line, which is also in the book. In older English, "fly" is an imperative version of the word "abscond". During the original theatrical release, Gandalf'due south line was modernized to "Run, you fools!" However, when the DVD was released, the line was changed to more faithfully reflect the novel. Edit

• The Quango of Elrond decided that secrecy and stealth were the only viable means of getting into Mordor. A big eagle in the skies would have been quickly spotted by Sauron and intercepted. In addition, the Eagles are an intelligent, independent race who cannot just be summoned like beasts of brunt, but who rather make their own decisions. Ultimately, they do decide to enter the war. There is also a thing of the eagles possibly being corrupted during the trip and that they would have simply delivered the band to Sauron. Finally, there are sure areas of Middle Earth the eagles won't wing over, due to hunters' arrows. Edit

• Yes. Orcs breed in the manner of Elves and Men, co-ordinate to The Silmarillion, and then at that place must exist female person Orcs even though they are either not shown in the story or are indistinguishable from males. Edit

• The ring does prolong life but ringbearers do age. The rate of their aging appears to be dependent upon the amount of time they are in possession of the ring and the amount of "impairment" they practise when using it. Bilbo used the ring to hide and doesn't seem to take used it all that often in the comparatively short number of years that he had it. Frodo didn't apply the ring at all until he started his journey. By comparing, Sméagol/Gollum was in possession of the band for some 500 years and used it to kill Orcs. Consequently, the ring had a greater effect on him than on Bilbo. Bilbo does age much more than rapidly after giving up the Ring, however. Though in that location is a time deviation betwixt the book and the flick as to when he and Frodo meet again at Rivendell, it is clearly pointed out that Bilbo's advanced historic period has caught upward with him, as is true in the volume. At one bespeak, (in both the book and film), when Frodo is visiting with Bilbo in his rooms, the latter asks to see the Ring over again and Frodo refuses out of a sense of fear, or possibly even possessiveness. Bilbo suddenly snarls and reaches for the Ring, looking merely similar Gollum for a 2nd. This pains Bilbo greatly and he apologizes for "everything", but likewise alerts Frodo visually to what might happen to him if he uses the Ring. Even though anybody keeps saying how "resilient" Hobbits are to the Ring's corrupting strength, they are certainly non allowed to it! Edit

• No. "Gollum" was meant to mimic the nasty gagging-swallowing audio Smeagol began making after he got the ring. Edit

• In the Foreword to later editions of the book, Tolkien was clear that pipeweed was "some course of nicotiana" (tobacco). This was in reaction to the speculation amongst fans in the 1960s that it might be marijuana. Edit

• The Dead Marshes is the ancient battlefield of the Battle of Dagorlad between the Last Alliance and the forces of Mordor, where many of the fallen were laid to residue. Over time, the battlefield became marshes, which swallowed up the expressionless, though their bodies could still be seen floating in the water. Edit

• Not according to the volume. At that place was a tertiary Magician (or Istari) called Radagast the Brown, who was also—theoretically—a fellow member of the White Council, likewise every bit two other "Bluish Wizards" (the Ithryn Luin) who went into the East and never returned. According to Tolkien's Unfinished Tales, the names of the two "Blueish Wizards" were Alatar and Pallando. According to the essay "The Peoples of Middle-earth" in The History of Middle-earth, Tolkien later changed the names of the Blue Wizards to Morinehtar and Romestamo; the essay too provides a different perspective on their mission in Middle-globe. Edit

• After she was brutally attacked by Orcs, Elrond's wife Celebrian, sailed over the Sea five centuries before the events in this moving-picture show. Edit

• No, that is not in the book. At 1 time, however, Tolkien wrote that the Orcs came from the globe (equally seen in the picture) ...but he later disliked this idea and did not include it in his final published works. In the books, the true Uruk-hai were really bred past Sauron, to deed every bit elite troops and commanders of the lesser Orcs. Saruman's hybrids of Orcs and Men were referred to as half-orcs; they are described as "sallow-faced and squint-eyed." In the movie, Saruman explains to the Uruk-hai how orcs came to be, that they were ruined Elves, captured and tortured past Sauron. In the Silmarillion, however, information technology is stated that it was Morgoth, the first Nighttime Lord who did this. Jackson & his co-writers, Fran Walsh (his married woman) and Philippa Boyens, simply took a bit of literary license and created the scene for dramatic effect. Edit

• Gandalf and Elrond, and others, come up from a different place and, in a sense, a unlike time. They're meant to speak differently. As for some of the other characters, in the days before mass communication, regional accents varied more. The picture show glosses over class differences which would exist readily understood, e.g., Bilbo and Frodo are of a dissimilar social class than Sam. In many places today, your "gardener" (or landscaper) would speak as you lot exercise and probably send his kids to the aforementioned school. In Tolkien's world this would not have been the case. Merry and Pippin are actually in Frodo'southward social class but they either picked upward or affected more "countryish" accents. Edit

• Yes and no: it was in the theatrical version of the movie (when Frodo and Sam are walking through the corn fields) but information technology was deleted in the DVD and VHS editions. While Sam and Frodo are walking in the cornfields right before they meet Merry and Pippin there is a long shot with dust coming from a back road behind them. This is the scene of controversy and, in his commentary, Peter Jackson points out several flaws, just however claims he cannot see this i. The grit plume tin be seen in the National Geographic special about the movies. Although information technology has been suggested the dust rising is just smoke coming from the chimney of a hobbit-pigsty in the background, the source finish of the grit plume moves across the landscape, suggesting that the source of the dust plume is also moving across the landscape. Edit

• Tolkien'south Lord of the Rings is an "expansion" of works which after would be published by his son, [link]nm1036123[/link], nether the title The Silmarillion. There is information inside The Silmarillion which is not given in LOTR, thus creating some viewer confusion. Examples: where Elves come up from, the age of Arwen, the divergence between Elves and humans and dwarves, what type of beingness Sauron, the wizards and the Balrog are, etc. Edit

• For its DVD and Blu-ray releases, extended versions of all iii Lord of the Rings movies accept been included. For The Fellowship of the Ring, the extended version takes more time for exposition and label, especially considering the character of Aragorn. The Fellowship'southward stopover at Lothlorien is virtually doubled in length, and includes the entire gift-giving scene. Also, at that place are some scenes in the extended version which resonate with events from moving-picture show 2, The Two Towers: for example, the scene where Gandalf mentions Gollum's real name. Last only not least, Peter Jackson reinstated some violent scenes. Edit

The FAQ items below may give abroad of import plot points.

• Although the film gives no information on this, the book explains it. Frodo was a son of Bilbo's cousins, Drogo Baggins and Primula Brandybuck, and adopted by Bilbo when they died in a boating accident. Until then, Frodo was built-in and raised in Brandy Hall, where his female parent's family had their bequeathed seat. Edit

• Sauron is a Maia: a race of powerful servants for the Valar, the "gods" who live in Valinor, the famous West all the characters talk well-nigh. He used to be the sidekick of Melkor (Morgoth), the banished Vala, sort of equivalent of Match/Satan, the most powerful angel turned to evil. After Morgoth was defeated, Sauron assumed ability as a bottom Dark Lord. He knew how to make Rings of Power, and taught the arts and crafts to the Elves (who made the Three). He waited until the other nineteen rings were fabricated and deployed, then made the One Ring "to rule them all". (In some versions of the story, the Elves made their Rings at his request, when he pretended to take changed his ways.) Gandalf and the other Istari (wizards) are also Maiar, and and then were the Balrogs. Come across The Silmarillion (1977) for further information. Edit
