This was a really good acting job.<P>It was really cool when Saruman was yelling and getting the orcs all riled up. just seeing the HUGE army was creepy. Yet all he had to do was raise his hand and they were immediately silent.<P>So, I've heard that Tolkien hated industrialization, right? Well, maybe he embodied this in Saruman. Some of his lines (I forgot which ones) are all "Yay we love industry and machines. Living things are useless," (except to burn for fuel) <P>In answer to your inquiries, everything was going so well for our favorite little evil Istari. But all of a sudden he's caught by surprise, with very few minions to protect him and some giant tree things destroying his "wonderful creations." I'd be in shock if I were him!<p>[ December 18, 2002: Message edited by: TolkienGurl ]
