[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I think people are mixing up Erotic feelings and love!

The books clearly states that there is love between the different male charachters, it was love for Aragorn that made the grey company and others walk the path of the dead and so on.

These feelings are not easily potraied in a film, I would imagine. You could make them say it, but I doubt that it would work well. . . there where not one scene in the movies that made me think that the charachters enjoyed each others company in that way, well exept for the scene where the hobbits are all cudly in a bed and Gandalf think it is great to watch. . .

Of course it could be that Tolkien belives that love in its purest form only can be shared betwen two men! Not necesarily sexual. . . .
But I guess Beren and Luthien kind of goes against that theory.
