Amen, to that, Bethberry.<P>The entire story of the War of the Ring is a tragic tale. Even the happiest parts for me were deeply saddening. I prefer to think of what you mean as 'moving,' certain points that stirred the inner reaches of the soul and reminded us what the story was truly about. A few of those moments for me were the storming of Isengard by the Ents, the words of Elrond to Arwen, and the events concerning Smeagol's 'identity crisis,' per se. The story of the little old stoor is most pitiable, and it is really emphasized in the movie.
