It sort of reminds me of the
prologue to Henry V, which basically says "staging Agincourt is way outside our budget, so just imagine it, mmkay?".

And make imaginary puissance;
Think when we talk of horses that you see them.

We should put together a version of LotR which is
just closeups of people's eyes. 'lijah from the Jacksonverse, the Friendly Brown Eye of Sauron from the Soviets... it'd be fun!

Hilariously, Merry is visibly alert in this sequence - he actually takes his pipe out of his mouth after being put down! I can only assume he Had A Case Of The Vapours to get Aragorn's attention.
