Lurtz

[the Lorien wanderer]

<BR> Re: What?</b><br><br> I do understand that PJ has incested much in this movie. It means a lot to him and he's trying his best. But that isn't good enough. Some things are better left alone. Like LoTR. How can everyone's perception of say, Galdriel possibly be the same? It can't, you say. And PJ's interpretation is only one of the many, you say. Yes, but it is the one that is oging to be released worldwide on a commercial scale. And, as said, it is the only LoTR movie that will be released in yeras to come. Hence this is what will stick. Samurai elves, scarred Arwens and of course, no Tom.<br> <br> The deviation from the story just make it worse of course. The expansion of Arwen's role for instance. Not only is it totally uncharacteristic but it also takes away from Eowyn's glory. To make it commercially appealing, PJ has thrown in Lurtz. But why? Why do we need a Lurtz at all? And why does it have to be commercially appealing anyway? Of course PJ wants to make money. But why murder LoTR in the bargain? <p>What if - what if this is as good as it gets?</p>
