Do you think Tolkien would be insulted by the LOTR movies?

Lord of Angmar:<BR> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>He may have had some misgivings, and may not have wished to see the movies himself lest someone else's interpretation of Middle-earth get muddled with his own, but I do not think it is easy to get insulted by hundreds of people devoting years of their lives to create an epic film trilogy in your honor (albeit with a motive of personal gain in their minds as well). <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Saucepan Man:<BR> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>I agree with Lord of Angmar that he would have had misgivings, and he probably would have intensely disliked some of the character changes, particularly those made to Frodo and Faramir. But I like to think that he would have appreciated the visualisation of the films, which I thought really brought the world that he created to life.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>I agree. Why on earth would he be insulted? To say someone is insulted means that they feel that they have personally been affronted or done wrong. While Peter Jackson may not have gotten everything the way that Tolkien would have wanted it, I am sure Tolkien would appreciate the effort put into it, if nothing more.<P>~Sparrow<p>[ 5:46 PM January 17, 2004: Message edited by: Sparrow ]
