Legolas wasn't actually an elf - he was a hobbit who had been disinherited by his family, the Proudfeet, because he had a beard. He managed to turn this beard invisible, but the treatment had the unforseen side-effect of making him grow to well over 6 feet. He was welcomed back into his family until they discovered that the beard was still there (when he caught it on some ceiling rafters), at which they banished him forever.

How many times is the definite article ("the") used in the film?
