After seeing the movie for the 3rd time a few days ago, I realized that, as much as I like the Grey Havens scene, 2 parts lessened my enjoyment of it slightly.<P>*That PJ wound up having Frodo kiss Sam. Although it doesn't especially disturb me because I can seperate events in a movie from sterotypes in real life, I think it would've been slightly better without it. If he wanted to show a greater bound between Frodo & Sam, then his more, uh...how shall we say 'fierce' (for now ) hug would've worked just fine.<P>*Although I thought for the most part the acting was great at this scene as well, I wish PJ wouldn't have slowed down Frodo's lines. I understand it was to emphasize (bad spelling day, I'm 99% sure that's wrong) what he was saying, but next time you what it, pay close attention to the Havens scene. With Frodo's slow speech it's just wierd. <P> Still a great scene, though .
