Sorry, Emanuelle, not Emmeline.
I thought Ugolin a very poignant character. The ribbon thing.... ![]()

God, yes. No one with any kind of heart would support the smug, cold teacher Manon chooses over Ugolin, so vulnerable and identifiable.
Similarly, I'm always amazed that people prefer Tuor to Maeglin... I think I must be in a minority in preferring Manon to Jean de Florette by miles... To get back to casting-Angelina Jolie as Luthien would be a mistake of Oliver Stone-esque proportions. She has sex appeal without being beautiful, the utter opposite of Luthien. My choice of Liv Tyler represents total surrender to Mary-Sue like vapidity; I think this is inseparable from Luthien and we might as well enjoy it...

I myself favour Natalie Portman for the role of Luthien, with her obviously being the most beautiful of the Children of Iluvatar currently alive.
