"Then I will say, Eowyn of Rohan, that you are beautiful."

Gah! WHY did that get left out?

I have to say, I was pretty upset by the loss of that whole love story. To me it was one of best things about the end. And I didn't like what they di to Faramir either. I left the theatre explaining to my friends who hadn't read the book why Faramir was actually a lot cooler, and why he was standing next to Eowyn at the end.

PJ did kind of make up for it in the extended edition. And I concede that given the timing of the movie, a whole extra love story would be out of place. Of course, they might have had time if they'd just down played Arwen's role a bit.

As I have said before, Roa, they could have done away with a few of those gratuitous and at times unnecessary kissing scenes and put more Faramir and Eowyn. I mean there is one real kiss in the book, in front of all Minas Tirith no less, but PJ just HAD to cut it! Instead he throws in all this tongue-stuff with Arwen and Aragorn every five minutes. I doubt Tolkien would have approved, and Elrond would have just keeled over if he caught them kissing!
