Those two sentences can't possibly be in the same post! I realise that it is very difficult to open one's mind to other interpretations, and to allow a book so near and dear to be tampered with. That's something that I've had to come to terms with during the course of these three movies. I find that <I>The Return of the King</I> makes this a lot easier than was previously possible, but it also has to be a shift in attitude. If you get tied down to the little things you can't possibly ever be happy with anything these movies has got to offer. <P>Wrong door?! Let it go... Besides, there is no such thing as the <B>wrong</B> door. It's a different door. The door to his house and his Gaffer's house. Hardly cause for alarm.
