Regarding Grima's tear mentioned in another recent thread <P>For an answer from the horses’ mouths, listen to the commentaries on the EE DVD for Two Towers. I finally listened to them today after being reminded from another post on this site.<P>Brad Douriff explains quite eloquently that it is AWE you are seing in Grima’s face, and explains that the scene alludes to the Nuremberg scenes from Triumph of the Will.<P>Peter Jackson backs up the point that the scenes were, indeed, taken from Nuremberg.<P>But then good old Phillipa Boyens (cutting out Fran Walsh who was just about to speak, and who worked with Brad on this scene (as explained by Brad on a previous interview) states that she loves the shot of Grima as he realises what he has done to the people of Rohan.<P>So PB throws in a curve ball to go against what others are saying! <P>I personally go with Brad Douriff’s commentary that it was a look of awe on Grima’s face when we see the tear.
