Letter to PJ

Dear Peter,<BR>Thank you for taking on this daunting task. Thank you for Edoras and Helm's Deep. They were perfect, as were the Shire and Rivendell in the first movie.<P>Thank you for Sam's speech at the end, and how you've depicted Sam in general. <BR>Thank you for Gollum, he was perfect. <BR>So was Gandalf.<P>I think you've done a disservice to the characters of Faramir and Treebeard because they are more worthy and heroic than you've portrayed them. The world needs all the heroes they can get: those who are thoughtful and deliberate as well as those who wise, tenacious, brave, and enduring. <P>Perhaps you give your audience too little credit. We will tolerate some lengthier conversations interspersed in the action. <P>It's been a joy to hear elvin. The sets have been spectacular. The casting and acting have been on the mark. Most of all these movies has been bright spots in an industry that has so much "fallen into shadow."<P>Love,<BR>Greyhavener
