[VanimaEdhel]

I kind of quietly sobbed throughout the whole movie, even when I was laughing at Gimli's antics (John Rhys-Davies was stupendous). I cried hardest:<BR>1. When Gandalf fell, yet again (and I've read the books so many times, you'd think I wouldn't...something about the look in Frodo's eye when it happens)<BR>2. When they 1st touched base with each group, seeing where they were<BR>3. When Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli think that Merry and Pippin are dead (again: I've read them so many darn times!)<BR>4. When Gandalf comes back<BR>5. When Theodred died, but Theoden was too far gone to care<BR>6. When Eomer was exiled<BR>7. When they thought Aragorn was dead<BR>8. How Aragorn kept remembering Arwen, through all that...both when he was remembering her and she was remembering him (when she was standing over his grave too)<BR>9. When they all "knew" they were going to die at Helm's Deep, but fought anyway<BR>10. When Gandalf finally came<BR>11. Oh: when Legolas apologized to Aragorn<BR>12. Nearly every time Smeagol's little face poked through on Gollum's exterior...I felt so sorry for him<BR>13. When Frodo realized he was being taken over by the ring<BR><I><B>14. When Haldir died</B></I> (Oi vey, I cried so much)<P>Hmmm...I cried an awful lot...but I also remember smiling the whole time...yeesh: I need to have some emotional training...<P>I also laughed a lot, while tears were streaming down my face...
