I am very very new to the wide world of film interpretations of Tolkien, but it would make since to say that even a newbie to Middle Earth would find the film a graphic learning tool to understanding the sequence of events the lead up to the separation of the Fellowship. Despite the controversy surrounding the editing of the plot, with some explanation even the most inexperienced Tolkien fan finds the story line true to Tolkien’s original meaning? I, personally have a question though. Was the theme of the story changed when PJ enlarged the part of Arwen, played by Liv Tyler?<p>[ December 19, 2001: Message edited by: Rose, the youngest ]
