Well, this is pretty much my point: In order to be clever and worthy, an author should explain his ghosts, because some people might just think that the idea of ghosts is absurd.
In the film it is just assumed that the audience will think "OK, ghosts; great." but why not go further than this? I am very interested in the idea of ghosts so I'd like to talk about it.
I don't get how the arrow just goes through the ghost. And how come they just appear out of nowhere when entering battle? Have they power over their own visibility? Why are they visible anyway?
To make it Tolkien-related, I remember him saying somewhere that the Ringwraiths existed only partially in the world of Hobbits, and partially in another world (a shadow land?) Is this where the ghosts are flitting in and out of?
