never has a female character been effectively and wholeheartedly portrayed by Miranda Otto when she took on the role of Eowyn. Those infatuation sequences in the movie with aragorn, i guess, are to lay the conviction for viewers that she is, despite all, a woman, gentle on the inside yet capable of courage, of bravery. kind of like a preparation especially with the character she's "turned into" in RotK, very strong, so "unladylike" if you know what I mean, so "manly." her TTT scenes were to establish her as a LADY, a WOMAN...strong yet gentle, capable of loving.
