[GaladrieloftheOlden]

I would like to add an opinion. I think that it was good that PJ found exactly the right measure of staying true to the story and making it a film, not a book illustration. Of course, we all grumble about the changes, and about the whole thing with Aragorn falling, and the romance part, but, without it, the movie wouldn't have any appeal to us, We could just read the books instead. I like that PJ puts his own images into the movie, and not a sort of neutral half tranparent idea that each of us can transform into our own mental images from the book. *deep breath...breathe in, breathe out...* Okay, I'm done ranting now.
