ELves at Helms Deep

[Neferchoirwen]

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> It is now the time of men - not elves, their time in ME is past. That is the whole point <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>It was really consederate of the elves, indeed, to aid the men at Helm's Deep in remembrance of their alliance. Though it was felt all through out the movie that men are inferior, they still helped them, instead of leaving them to their weaknesses. They made the Vala real proud by believing in their Middle Earth brethren <P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> PJ has changed Theoden from the books, where Theoden is very dependent on Gandalf and Aragorn; Gandalf to tell him what to do and Aragorn to lead the battle <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>A great observation. I noticed that Theoden is being put on the spot, and I felt that Theoden is not giving orders to Aragorn as a superior:<BR> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> "Aragorn...fall back to the keep, get your men out of there." <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>...but do folks notice how each of the major plot changes is accompanied by a line from one of the characters representing shock. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>I never thought of it as that way, but now that I think about it, I remember seconding my demotion to Theoden, Merry and Sam while watching the movie. PJ <B>was</B> conscious of these changes by pointing them out using the reacting characters themselves.
