Oh, don't give me all that "different point of view/perspective" stuff. I already addressed that a few pages back when I said this-

Most of the complaints have nothing to do with PJ's "vision" (or personal interpretation) of the story.
If PJ thinks that elves have pointy ears and you don't agree, or if he thinks that Faramir is 6'4" but you think he's 6'6"- that would be where his "vision of the story" would come into play.
But what about having Faramir taking Frodo to Osgiliath? You could read the entire book upside down and backwards and there's still no possible way you could view or interpret the story like that.

Most all of our complaints are about things that were added (to the detriment of the story) or about things that were taken out where the resulting loose ends were left dangling.
Such things have no relation whatsoever to PJ's different "point of view".

You can't expect the movie to be exactly as you imagined it

I seriously doubt that
any of us ever harbored such utopian hopes, but we did, perhaps, expect there to be no glaring errors or inconsistencies introduced by complete departures from the text. Was such an expectation unreasonable?
