What would Tolkien like most? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I think Tolkien would have liked the people who played the characters, they were chosen very carefully and are very good at what they do. And yes, he would have liked the music. And not Rohan. I also think he may have liked the scene where Fairmir asks Frodo who Sam is saying "who is he, your bodyguard?" and Sam goes "No, his gardener." Of course that is not in the book but still I think he would find it cute.

No question about it. Peter Jackson really captured Sam's character beautifully in Sean Astin (or is it Austin

).

Maybe, it depends, of course it is a blunt fact!

It's Astin, I know it is!

Sorry for bumping an OT, but I just had to comment

I think Tolkien would have loved the art direction - the sets, details, weaponry, design. The love and care people put into creating his cultures through props and sets, out of respect for his work. That would bring a warm fuzzy feeling to anyone's heart.

I think he may have appreciated the art as well.
