Diamond, I wasn't aware of the fact that there were rumoured kisses and bedscenes...good grief. If I had heard those rumours I too might be relieved at what was actually on screen. <BR>But while I quite agree that men can be nice to women they're not in love with, I don't think I'm overreacting. Like I said, my husband who has no knowledge of the books assumed that he was flirting with her - in fact he thought he had instigated the flirting. Tolkien Aragorn was sensitive and thoughtful, and realised straight away what had happened, that Eowyn had fallen in love with him. Peter Jackson Aragorn seems rather dumb - careless with Eowyn's feelings and the consequences of his actions. Any minute I was expecting him to say "my elf doesn't understand me."<P>Re exile, yes I'm sure it has been discussed although I wasn't around for that. I just mentioned it to point out that Aragorn's character has been somewhat trashed in both films.<p>[ January 20, 2003: Message edited by: Lalaith ]
