Yes, Maril, you have made yourself very clear, but once again, I just didn't think that there was much of a cold-blooded killer in Liv Tyler's Arwen. She was a fast rider with a sword at her side, because, like Kalimac pointed out, <I>those were the times</I> during which such skills were necessary. And I in no way took offence to your knitting reference. I do not however think that Arwen as a "pseudo-feminist" icon. She was too enchanting and sweet for that, and remember, she never <I>attacked</I> anyone. She did however challenge the Nazgul to lure them into the water and thus to get rid of them. If anything, she was cunning and calculating, not violent, not a soldier, not a Lara Croft (ugh). <BR>I also think that her tears at the Ford were a justified addition-she is supposed to be a sensitive Elf, no?<p>[ March 09, 2002: Message edited by: Lush ]
