The Arrogance of the Rings

[thorondil]

Yeah...I got that impression too. I think the movie is great and have watched the extended version dvds over and over since I got it (much to the annoyance of my girl), but for all of their "geeting it as close to Tolkeeeen as possible" talk, they do seem a bit arrogant at times. And on the boards alot of people parrot their opinions almost word for word about why they changed this and why they changed that...<P>As for the Departure of Boromir, it was much better in TTT (the book.) Aragorn didn't know if Frodo and Sam had been taken by the orcs with Merry and Pippin (unlike that ridiculous scene in the movie where Frodo doesn't trust Aragorn on Amon Hen) until later. Also I wish they would have put the swords of Boromir's enemies under his feet.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>His head so proud, his face so fair, his limbs they laid to rest;<BR>And Rauros, golden Rauros-falls, bore him upon its breast. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
