<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Who knows how it would have gone with different actors? I can only be glad that Sean and Elijah were so well matched for this fine moment! <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Yes, <B>ITA</B>!<P>When I saw FOTR, especially the end, I knew PJ and company did a good job when they casted Elijah and Sean in their respectives roles - that feeling grew with TTT - and by ROTK I honestly cannot see any other 2 actors playing out those scenes as well as they did!<P>Through the entire movie I waited for the Mt. Doom scenes to say nothing of the Grey Havens seen and I was <B>not</B> disappointed as the acting from both end got me to crying, especially Sean's!<P>Oh yes, I will continue to say it: No other could have done such a find job of portraying my Sam as Sean Astin and I only hope he will get the recognition he deserves by the Academy Awards!<p>[ 4:00 AM December 31, 2003: Message edited by: Arathiriel ]
