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

[Boromir88]

Ellewen, surprisingly enough, I don't think Tolkien would be too upset over the cutting of scenes. As Tolkien states that he understands time constraints and things have to be contracted if you are making a movie from a book:

Contraction of this kind is not the same thing as the necessary reduction or selection of the scenes and events that are to be visually represented.

So, it's not the cutting of scenes that upsets him the most, it's the altering and changing around his ideas (which Jackson did a lot of). Tolkien would rather prefer the Ents being cut out of the movies, than have them being changed from the books:

If both the Ents and the Hornburg cannot be treated at sufficient length to make sense, then one should go.
