From the start, this topic is not meant for yelling and criticising about comments made. It is for your opinion.Anyway, I was reading a review on the movie, "Ash Wednesday" starring Elijah Wood as Sean Sullivan. A comment said by lou lumenick (ny post) states that: <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Wood, who sounds like he's been vacationing in Middle Earth, is simply ludicrous as Sean.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Whether seeing the movie or not, (I havn't), as a LOTR fan how would you take this quote? It sounds to me like this critic is making Elijah out to still be "playing Frodo" if you will. Now if I believe this critic and say that Elijah is still acting like he did in LOTR, it brings me to the point of this topic...Do you think that making this movie would impact the actors so much that it would be hard to play a different character outside of Tolkien? They always talked about how great it was making the movie, and being there for a year and a half, it would seem true. It was almost as if the actors were the characters living in ME. How do you think this effected their careers as actors?Again, I don't want answers like, "Well he doesn't know what he's talking about. Elijah was great in that movie." type stuff. Think about if Elijah really was acting like that in Ash Wednesday. What is your opinion on this matter?
