Something went wrong with my previous posts and I cannot edit them for some reason, so here is again what I wanted to say:<P>I think it is best to see the movies and the books as two different things, that's how I see it. <BR>Of course, I had imagined a lot of things differently, and it is sad that some things that you were looking forward to (Tom B.) weren't in the movies. And right, the Faramir thing, but enough has been said about that!<P>Most importantly, I think the movies could never be made by a director and a crew who don't love them. So I believe that PJ loved the books, and he respected them. But movies and books are two different things.<BR>If I read that some of you believe that they could have done a better job, that's your good right to believe so. But please consider the fact that making one movie is extremely difficult, let alone three.<BR>I believe that things could have been worse, than what PJ showed us so far...Maybe another director could have done a better job, but on the other hand, maybe another one could have made it into a disaster!<P>Anyway, for me personally there are two ME's:<BR>one as I know in the movies, and I can live with that, and one as I imagined it from the books, and that is how I feel it in my heart.<BR>The last one certainly is dearest to me.<P>[ August 12, 2003: Message edited by: Mariska Greenleaf ]<p>[ August 12, 2003: Message edited by: Mariska Greenleaf ]
