Two Frodos

Stone of Vision

I liked this thought of yours:

I like the movie very much and admire PJ's work but what i reproach the movie is, indeed that lack of free minding and imagination. Pictures and images will necessary influenced the people who had seen them as if the characters were prisonners of thoses images. Elijah's eyes will haunt some of us for a long time...
But i also believe,that, if the movie leads to read the book, then one could still find "his/her own Frodo" not totally the same and not totally different . . .

I, too, think that first time readers of the book might be limited by the 'pictures' they have in their minds from the movies. The books are so much richer and more complex than the film. I can only hope that they will be enticed by their reading to savor the story many times. And in doing so, to find their own pictures.
