When did you laugh or cry?

[Telgaladiel]

Laughs <P>~Anything Merry and Pip. <BR>"You'll need a person of intelligence on this quest...mission...thing"<BR>"Well, that rules you out."<P>"They have a cave troll."<BR>"Nobody tosses a Dwarf" and "Not the beard!"<BR>The entire sequence of the Shire I love. <BR>Rivendell council also.<P>Sad <P>~After Moria.<BR>~Watching Merry and Pip be carried off.<BR>~Boromir's death was sad.<BR>~Watching Frodo decide to take up the burden of the Ring.<P>The first time I saw it, not a single person moved, and they applauded at the end. I admit, on my third watch, I got up...but.. large soda... very thirsty... durn.<P>I read earlier that someone felt that Merry and Pip were one dimensional. I don't feel that way. I've only read Fellowship of the Ring, and while you don't see as much of them as you might like, Merry shows himself to be extremely intelligent when he has to be and he wasn't afraid to get up and fight when needed and Pip.. oh Billy Boyd! To me, you could almost watch this "fool of a Took" grow up as the movie progressed. I think it was at Gandalf's fall. His face was the most heart wrenching of them all. To me, that loss woke him up.<P>Frodo's was bitterly beautiful. He knew he had to continue even if he didnt want to. <P>Yes, there are story differentials, but I loved the movie. Okay... before I get too durn off topic.. *runs*
