Galadriel, in her speech at the beginning of FotR, says that "there are none who live that remember the tale." (or something close to that.) But that's actually a huge contradiction. She was born before all of the stuff with the rings happened, and I'm sure she knows the history of the rings. So SHE knows the "tale", and she's still alive. I wonder if the moviemakers realized that. Maybe they just put it in there to make it more dramatic. <P>Did anybody else notice this? Or am I just completely off my rocker? (By the way, I know this has nothing essential to it. It's just something that's been bugging me for a while. Sorry for babbling.)
