<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> I did, however, wonder about that scene in Helm's Deep when Aragorn slaps Legolas on the butt... <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> <BR>Hahaha!! *snorts* Sorry, but I could just imagine Legolas being all serious and then...<P>"Aragorn...what are you doing?"<P>But seriously, Ian McKellen's sexuality had, I beleive, nothing what so ever to do with him leaning on Legolas. I think that it was (as others have said) done to portray him as a weak old man. It kind of annoys me that just because a homosexual man touches another man (some) people automatically think "He must fancy him" or "It must be for his own 'fun'." <BR> Ian is a fantastic actor and I do not beleive he would do such a thing anyway, plus the fact that he is so much older than Orlando. Homosexuality, I should think, is the same as being heterosexual. I mean, we all have our own preferances. Me, for example...I like tall guys, whilst some girls like short guys etc. So it must be the same for homosexuals. They don't instantly fancy the first guy they see. I think people look into little things like Gandalf leaning on Legolas too seriously. It was done to make him look weaker, nothing more.<BR> Why can't people just enjoy the film and not take things so seriously?<P>Yours rantingly<BR> ~Naurwen
