This sequence contains one of my favourite parts from FOTR: the passing of the wood Elves. But something is a bit wrong in this scene. The wood Elves are shown as truly mysterious and beautiful creatures and,compared to them, the Elves of Rivendell seem, well, a bit too normal and more like Men. We do not see that silver shimmer about them. Well, when Arwen appears, she does have a silver light around her but I have always thought that only Frodo sees her like that. But I think that nowhere else in the movie is the dignity and magic of the Elves captured as great as it is in this short scene. Sam's words then always bring, if not tears in my eyes, then at least a thight feeling in my throat. "I don't know why, it makes me sad.", and, indeed, the world can only be a very sad and emty place without the songs and the light of those wonderful beings.
