applause for GaladrieloftheOlden <P>more questionable stuff:<P>When the fellowship entered Moria, why did Gimli go on and on about the hospitality of the dwarves when he should've noticed right away that corpses were lying everywhere. Was he in denial? Took him a while to react. (longer than the others). It's like that scene in Harry Potter where the kids entered the room of the giant 3 headed-doggie. The first thing they should've noticed was the HUGE doggie. They had time to chit-chat before reacting to the dog. In real life, when you enter a room full of corpses and/or 3-headed doggies, the first things you'll notice are the corpses and/or the 3 headed doggies. I guess film makers do this for dramatic purposes. I hate it when they do that. Fills my heart with rage.<P>Also, when Frodo and the hobbits were in Rivendell, did anyone notice that the height of the railing on the terrace was just perfect for a hobbit (and way too short for elves), so was the settee. An elf would trip on it. That would be fine if that specific section of Rivendell was built for hobbits. But no- when Frodo fiiinally notices Bilbo, we can see that the bench he was sitting on was too high for him- his legs were dangling.<P>Lastly, In TTT, when Haldir arrived at Helm’s Deep, Aragorn gave him a man-hug as oppose to Legolas’ elf-hug. Why didn’t he just pat Haldir’s shoulders the way Legolas did? That should’ve been his natural reaction, given the fact that he grew up with elves. The only excuse I could think of for Aragorn is that- upon realizing that the elves have come to their rescue, Aragorn, being a human (kind of), was overcome with emotion. Hence, the man-hug. Even so, is it inherent in human beings to hug when overcome by an extreme emotion such as the one Aragorn apparently felt? I don’t think so. Haldir was obviosly taken aback by Aragorn’s hug. You can tell by the expression on his face. (Either that or he thought Aragorn was smelly). <P><BR>Whooops. It wasn’t my intention to write an essay. Sorry. <P><BR>ps- what does it mean? that we're noticing all these minute details? hehe.<p>[ January 28, 2003: Message edited by: propagandalf ]
