He looked more confused when Gandalf died than anything. Looking at the ground doesn't make you look sad. Being torn apart like Elijah/Frodo was does. You've made me think about it some more, Alex, and I'd have to say that with the exceptions of Arwen and Galadriel the Elves are much less emotional and especially compassionate than I think they should have been. Elrond definitely has a chip on his shoulder. I don't think Haldir made much of an impression on me as a character, so I didn't really feel sad when he got butchered, almost certainly hacked to pieces and probably eaten.
