<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR><B>doug*platypus</B>: Another little one would be the Evenstar. It leaves Aragorn...Later it is returned to him, consuming precious seconds of screen time for no clear reason. I can't see what the point of that particular loss and finding was.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>*mutters* Probably had something to do with Aragorn losing and refinding his lost love for Arwen. Off and on during all the movies, PJ revisits his <I>completely invented</I> story line that only Arwen knows who she loves and how much. The sense that Aragorn has no real love for Arwen, no self-respect, no sense of destiny, no poetic soul for his place in history compared to Beren with Luthien. Talk about wasting precious screen time!<P>*continues muttering* For instance, I really do not know why PJ included Aragorn singing part of the Lay of Luthien in FotR-EE...PJ simply murders that part of Tolkien's story with all his <I>movie-gorn wishy-washiness</I>.<P>*Harrumph!*
