In Defense of PJ

[thorondil]

I agree it could have been worse (the corruption of LotR), and I too am thankful that they were fans; but I don't necessarily agree with all of their decisions. <P>Everything doesn't have to be about introducing characters...what about introducing the Elven race? A race that was capable of getting Frodo out of trouble in a hurry, healing him, and then securing him in Imladris. And as for the film "flowing", Glorfindel flew like hell to the Ford. It was all about giving more time to Arwen...who PJ said didn't get much time in the books.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Because then you have to bring in a new character who will only be on screen for a few minutes and then disappear unless you wanted Glorfindel to join the fellowship.<P>We are living in the real world not some idealistic place.<P> <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Does everyone seen in the movie have to join the Fellowship? And the "real world" was whatever they decided to make it.
