So I am watching the three Lord of the Rings Movies in a row on TNT, currently ending on TTT and RotK is going to start in just a few minutes, but something I noticed but never really thought about until now was how in each movie one of the elder characters says the title of the movie in a quote... I found that really interesting... I don't know why, and the people who do say the titles were interesting too, it made me think why PJ chose those people to say the lines.

Elrond: 9 companions, so be it. You shall be The Fellowship of the Ring
Saruman: To stand against the might of Sauron and Saruman and the union of The Two Towers
Gandalf: Authority is not given to you to deny The Return of the King

That is very interesting, actually! I never thought about it either. I've always seen it as a service to non-book readers, to sort of take them by the hand and gently show them the plot's connection to the title in each movie!
But you're right and I can definitely see your point. I usually analyse anything to death and back so I'd love to hear what other people have to say to this observation.

I know, I quote these lines a hundred times but I never really connected everything together until just last night when they played all three movies in a row... how the people who say it are leaders or hold powerful positions.

If Merry or Faramir or something said: I look forward to the Return of the King it just wouldn't sound right or hold as much importance than having Gandalf speak.

Wow, I never noticed that! But that's great, I really like that symbolism now, thanks for pointing that out!
