To TolkienGurl: <P>Thanks for writing back and I'm glad you agree with me! When I first saw that flash forward scene, I thought maybe Arwen had really aged like Aragorn, but being an elf, she got to keep her "outside immortality" (her young appearance), but then of course Elrond had to say that she'll go on living, like you pointed out so that made it sound like she can't give up her immortality and I'm making no sense at all here!!!! <P>About the elves leaving for Valinor in TTT, probably just for there for the drama of it. I actually kind of liked how it seemed that Arwen really was leaving Middle Earth (hope she doesn't! But then if she does have to go on living alone forever in Middle Earth away from the other elves after A. dies, in that case I hope she does!), but then if Aragorn had that conversation with Elrond about "Arwen's time is ending. Let her go." before the fellowship left Rivendell, I would have thought that in the first movie, Aragorn would have looked more sad when they were first setting off but he doesn't till now. <P>But I hate criticising the movie like this, because I really did enjoy it! But I'm wondering if maybe the TTT I went and saw was somehow a shortened matinee (sp?) version. Because there was sure a lot of stupid, violent previews before it and when I looked at my watch, TTT still hadn't started until about 12:15 (it was supposed to start right at 12:00)but was still over by 3:00 and I know it was supposed to be 3 hours long, so did they haphazardly cut 15 minutes of scenes from it or what? For example, the part where Aragorn gets washed ashore after falling in the water with the wolf thing and that brown horse comes and wakes him up and he right away says "Brego!" (the horse's name) But you never even saw him with that horse before so how could he have even known its' name and why should it have been so loyal to him??!?! In the photo guide to TTT I bought before seeing the movie, Brego was the king's son's horse who had died and there was a picture of Aragorn with a caption saying "This horse has seen too much of war. Turn him loose." (or something like that!) But that wasn't in the movie!!! Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
