Hey, Nevlothiel... <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Gee whiz..Elven Archer, Frodo is being controlled by the Ring...it's taking over him and he can't stop it... obviously the movies weren't a good idea for people who have OBVIOUSLY not read the books.. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>First, there is more than one side of this issue as I stated in my own post. There are those of us who feel Frodo is portrayed in a one-dimensional way by PJ, and others who would disagree. Well-argued positions and disagreement is part of what makes the Downs tick. But it doesn't help anyone if posters start throwing around comments on someone's supposed background or lack of it in terms of LotR. Such personal attacks are simply out of place and often inaccurate. If you'd like to disagree with my position (or that of Elven Archer's), that's great. Use your wits and knowledge to refute my ideas one-by-one and develop a counterpostion without flinging bricks. Quickslash - I agree with you. This is exactly what I was trying to say above.sharon[ September 28, 2003: Message edited by: Child of the 7th Age ]
