Mistake in the FotR??? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Arwen_Evenstar · 12-23-2002, 01:13 AM

Someone correct me if im wrong but in the movie scene "The Ring goes south" Gandalf says: 'We must hold this course west for 40 days till we reach the misty mountains' or something of the sort...but arent the misty mountains East of Rivendell? I have a feeling im wrong because I thought that someone would have spotted it earlier, but if i am wrong please tell me how!

Your right the Misty Mountains are east of Rivendell maybe they did make a mistake.

Maybe he means west of the misty mountains?

It's definetly not "west to"...PJ wouldn't make such a fundamental mistake. I thought it was "we must hold this course west of the Misty Mountains for forty days 'til..."<P>I'll watch it, as i have nothing better to do right now. Stupid vacation.
