Oah deary my .... [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] Again I'm startin' ta think I have found this site too late . So many replys that I have not read them all again so again I must beg for forgivenes in case of I repeat somebody .
Well firstly who cares about small things like theese ? You gotta admit that those black robes gave the effect . And those gloves ? Well a book is one thing but in the film how do you imagine the scene with those swords on the Weathertop at the incredible moment when the Nazgūl (damn I can't do that u thing even if following the given insturctiones [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] ) were steping out from the shadows slowly taking step by step and slowly drawing their swords and lining up , just imagine this scene with only sound of footsteps where iron boots had to be and those swords hanging in the air instead of being held by an impressive glove . It would not look so good , I belive .
And secondly , maybe I'm mistakening but I do not remember Tolkien writing anything about those gloves . Maybe I'm wrong so correct me if I am .
