| Excellent essay. I'm thinking about writing a similar one when the EE of Return of the King comes up. . . I have a very bad feeling about their 'interpretation' of the Mouth of Sauron (who's my favorite character, BTW. . .). |

I completely agree with all the points you have made in this essay - all of them excellent, well argumented and rounding up (I must say that at the begining of every paragraph I nodded and said 'yes' several times...). Denethor may not be my favourite character, but I have great respect for the person Tolkien made him out to be and the sheer complexity of the man's character (he simply LIVES, comes off the page as a living breathing man, wonderfully ballanced, wonderfully led). For that reason, the dialogue set apart for 'him' and the changes of plot made in the movie disappointed me to no end, especially since I could clearly see that John Noble could have portrayed him wonderfully if given the chance. I'm glad to see that there are indeed people out there who see these flaws of the movies for what they are (yes, I've had people laugh at the scences you've mentioned also...)
My thanks for sharing this! |
