When I first read the title of this read, I had the impression that someone just died.Silly me. Seriously, while the movie's ending didn't have the same effect on me as the book did, I quickly realized that this was all because it's a darn movie. Books tease the imagination, flooding our brains with visions of things no filmmaker could put on screen, though some have come close, and I'd argue that Peter Jackson is one of them.[ 9:45 PM January 30, 2004: Message edited by: Lush ]
