<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>I could care less about the people who haven't read the books.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> It can also be rather confusing to casual book-readers who haven't read about Luthien & Beren. <I>I</I> don't have a real problem with any of the scenes I mentioned, but I don't think they added very much. The Drinking Song! That has to rank up there.<P>P.S. I'd definatly say Aragorn's song added more to the movie (& was less confusing) than the 'nenya' seen did. I didn't mind necesarily that we got to see Nenya, but it sure didn't serve hardly any purpose.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>I think Mr. Jackson added the (sort of confusing without the book dialogue to back it up) bit with Nenya because of the fact that Galadriel goes with the ringbearers (most of them) to the Grey Havens in the end. And that is quite a nice link between them all.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P> I do agree that's probably why he did it, but to me it was just an intersting choice to put in. Since the she didn't expound upon it at all or anything...Oh well, just random thoughts of mine
