Make sure you know the “Lord of the Rings” lines by heart by completing those of Aragorn in Peter Jackson’s trilogy…
Do you know every corner of Middle-earth? Have you always felt like part of the Fellowship of the Ring? Would you be able to get from the Shire to Mordor without even consulting a map? In short, are you really a fan of Lord of the Rings? The time has come to verify that this is indeed the case by trying to complete these replicas of Aragorn, descendant of Isildur and heir to the throne of Gondor.
Central character of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Aragorn appears from the first opus and guides the four Hobbits to Rivendell, where the Council of Elrond takes place. After joining the Fellowship of the Ring, he accompanies Frodo to the shores of the River Anduin, then journeys to Rohan alongside Legolas and Gimli. After having won the terrible battle of Helm’s Deep, he participated in that of the Pelennor Fields (at the gates of Minas Tirith), went to face Sauron on the border of Mordor, and recovered the crown of Gondor which was intended for him.

War wounds
Very involved in the filming of Lord of the Rings, Viggo Mortensen (interpreter of Aragorn) was injured several times while interpreting the heir of Isildur. Indeed, when the Ranger kicks an Uruk-hai helmet furiously, at the start of The Two Towers, the cry he lets out could not be more authentic, since the actor has broken two toes. performing the movement. Moreover, during the battle of Helm’s Deep, he also broke a front tooth after taking a bad blow from his sword.
Aragorn VS Sauron
Even though the King of Gondor and the Lord of Mordor face off through a palantir in the extended version of The Lord of the Rings, the two characters were originally meant to fight directly on the battlefield, at the end of the Return of the King. This duel, too far from the original work of JRR Tolkien, was finally forgotten by the production.
Mined land
The final battle of the trilogy, which takes place at the gates of Mordor, was filmed on a particularly dangerous ground, in New Zealand. Indeed, it is on an army parade ground, forbidden to the public and completely mined, that Peter Jackson took his team to film the scene. “The army engaged in a demining exercise. They sent their deminers to clear a field full of bombs that had never exploded”, remembers the director. Fortunately, the filming took place without the slightest accident.
