<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> I saw numerous things which resembled Tolkien's story. Apart from Denethor... <BR>I thought the whole point of the films was to convey Tolkien's story. It shouldn't be too hard to spot things which were in the book. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>I think balrogman ment less obvious things that people who had only read the books would notice, if you see what I mean. Little tidbits that wouldn't be included in the film as a main story line, for instance, Gil-Galad is at the Last Alliance. We are never introduced to him, but the readers of the book would probably notice him and know who he was. Little things like this show more depth, like the depth of detail in the books. <BR>Crumbs, I'm terrible at explaining stuff. I really should leave it, but I'm bored <BR>Hope that was okay, any one else notice stuff like that?
