<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Does everyone seen in the movie have to join the Fellowship? And the "real world" was whatever they decided to make it.<BR><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>My real world comment was because they are making a movie and would have to pay another actor not to mention have special effects because as Tolkien puts it "a shining figure of white light; and behind it ran small shadowy forms waving flames, that flared red in the grey mist that was falling over the world." An elf seen in all its power. All costs money and is not that necessary to tell the story.<P>I personally miss more than Glorfindel, is the lines of the Nazgul and Frodo's answer back. That I miss a lot and because of that that scene is the weakest part of the movie. But by no means come close to ruining it.<P>If you want exactly like the book, read the book. I just finished the Fellowship yet again and am going to try to read the Two Towers before the movie comes out.<p>[ November 20, 2002: Message edited by: GreyIstar ]
