Was sent this from a friend. Apparently Imrahil is in ROTK!

I find this... weird. I spotted the flag of Dol Amroth in the coronation scene, and I remember this bloke from the movies as well. He looks right for Imrahil, I think, although I'm sure I vaguely remember him from the movies not being Imrahil. Oh well; suppose I'll have to go and watch it again! Shame, that.

Well I hope that's not Imri, I like him very much (partly due to CMC) and I think he is very handsome and has presence (like Aragorn) and that guy has neither.

I'll have to agree with Elvenesse...

Hmm, I remember him being in Gondor as a common soldier, actually.
I would think of Imrahil as being older, anyway. He supposedly has a daughter old enough to marry the Stallion of Rohan. 
Hey, I remember that guy now. He's the one who said "Long has the Lord Denethor foretold this!" when Faramir came riding back from Osgiliath the first time.

THAT'S where I'd seen him!
I still say he looks slightly like a youngish Imrahil; just because, in my mind, the hair looks right. Although he doesn't look Elvish enough.
Wonder if this will be a topic that comes up in ROTK:EE?

I will have to look for the Dol Amroth flag the next time I see ROTK again--seen it three times now, and have completely missed that.
But no way is that fellow Imrahil! Mr. "Long has the Steward foretold this doom!" whiny guy? I think not! He's not the fellow who was boosting morale all over the place in the Siege of Gondor. He's also not old enough, or more accurately (since we have lots of older folks with young faces in this story) he's not got enough presence.
THAT's the best PJ could do for Imrahil? I suspect that they needed an Imrahil for the card game and were told--"That guy has a line. Use him." I'm being charitable here.
Of course, my friend E.W. swears that he's called Imrahil the Fair because he's blonde, not because he's incredibly handsome. She'd love this. |

Yeah! That guy pissed me off - I kept wanting to tell him to shut up. Plus there's the whole Gondorian=Dark; Rohirrim=Blond equation (thought Boromir and Faramir are exceptions in the film); I noticed PJ took pains to have all the Gondorians be dark-haired, even his own kids- but for this twerp. What does all that say about this guy being Imrahil? Only that it would bug me and seem to be one more unfathomable 'adaptation' on the part of the script team.

<sigh> That lucky lass.
 He certainly doesn't look like the Imrahil I envisioned and loved when reading the book... and though he is younger than Aragorn, he doesn't have the same longevity, so yeah, I always saw him as looking a bit older. Not by much, and not as old as Denethor, but older all the same. This blond guy looks so wrong on so many levels, it ain't funny.
do.

Thanks for clearing that up, although the misunderstandings were fun, too. I wonder, now, if Beregond will show up in those 50 additional minutes of ROTKEE.
