Why all the anger?

[Snowdog]

<BR> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>I've read a lot on various discussion threads about people being really angry with the way in which the story was changed from the book to the films. I am curious to know why this is.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Show me a movie made from a book that faithfully steps each and every of the story? It don't happen. I have to agree that I was <I>disappointed</I> in the way Arwen was brought into the story even though I <I>understand</I> why PJ did it. Other changes like those of Faramir was to bring him into a <I>cinematic</I> character vs his <I>book</I> character, and again I understand why PJ did it but am disappointed at <I>how</I> he did it. I hold hope that the ['book' Faramir' will emerge in Return of the King. But if not, I remember as I watch these films that this is Middle Earth and the tales of old as seen and interpreted by PJ, not b me, and I hold to my own visions and interpretations from what I have read from the same tales of old.<P>What I think <I>PJ did</I> in the movies that <I>enhanced my vision of the story?</I> one word: <I>Boromir.</I>
