pippin's portrayal (films 2 and 3) - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I don't know how I would work Pippin's character out if I were PJ, given the character decisions in the first movie. He really was played as comic relief, more so than Merry, who (sadly) faded a bit into the background. Though that interview relieved me, it'll still be a bit of cinematic magic to really bring out Pippin's true courage and character after his being portrayed as your quintessential "fool of a Took" in Fellowship. But, I don't doubt that PJ can do it. It'll just be interesting to see, that's all.<P>And thorondil, you have no idea how much I agree with you!!!! I'm reading RotK right now, a book that never fails to make my shoulders sag and my eyes tear up, so I pull out TT and flip through the pages for that line of Pippin's and Sam and Gollum's fight in "Of Herbs and Stewed Rabbits." My Pippin! "Gollum, gollum!" Tee-hee!<P>~*~Orual~*~
