Book vs. Movie characters - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I have to say that I agree with The Squire. Although I also agree with Gwaihir. Movies are movies. They incidentally take away the reality of the books even up to more than twice over. In light of that, they are just interpretations that do not give an exact rendition of the original found in the books. All we are to do is to acknowledge the presence of these (as flaws or whatnot). It's pretty much like evil. It exists; denying it is futile, and it is, needless to say, necessary.

Hope I didn't step on anyone's toes there.
