HCIsland has just left Hobbiton.
Sting

Here is what is actually said in each commentary during this scene.<P>Dourif: There is no other character who could have brought over to the audience what was about to happen, who could have sold the awe. I mean, you can't ... When you look at a picture of something, it isn't the picture that sells it, you know. I mean the fact that he did an allusion to "Triumph of the Will", but that in of itself is not enough, but when you have the person that made it happen suddenly, absolutely come to grips with what it is that he has done, then it's scary. It's the perfect thing to do that suddenly makes an impact. That's story telling.<P>Jackson: This is Nuremburg really. That is the obvious influence for all this stuff. That sort of imagery is so potent and it is usefull to dip into those historical references just to press buttons in people.<P>Boyens: I loved that performance from Brad Dourif just showing that Wormtongue was a man once - what has he done - what has he unleashed?<P>H.C.<p>[ 7:35 PM January 17, 2004: Message edited by: HCIsland ]
