I agree with the "filmy" way of doing that scene. Though it was weird, but it emphasizes on the power of Saruman. The movie goers wouldn't have understood the whole thing. Like, if it came out in the movie as it reads in the book, no one who hadn't read it would have understood that Theoden was "healed" just by stepping into the sun. The moviegoers wouldn't even understand that it was Saruman who is in control of Edoras, and what was shown in the film was concrete enough.<p>[ January 17, 2003: Message edited by: Neferchoirwen ]
