I thought subtlety in the book was more related to the way everyone spoke. Their kind, humble & noble manners, the old english they used, the poetic way even the most tense moments were handled with (see the discussions between Éomer & Gimli concerning Galadriel). That <I>can</I> be filmed, but who would watch it nowadays? (ok, we, but that's not what I meant ) Such a style corresponds to theatre plays, not hollywood super-productions!
