Narwen Mithwing, welcome to the Moot!
elfstone, I know you mean when Aragorn "stumbles up the stairs" in Moria...  Actually, I'll surprise some and say Aragorn could have bene portrayed better. I'm hoping when we see some of the footage which was edited out, that Aragorn will come off more complete, and that a few more of the parts folks sorely miss will be shown to have been in the original concept, but left out due ot choices made in the editing process. all the more reason for them to release the Director's Cut DVD with all available footage post-haste! *grin*

"...[The Lord of the Rings] is to exemplify most clearly a recurrent theme: the place in 'world politics' of the unforeseen and unforeseeable acts of will, and deeds of virtue of the apparently small, ungreat, fogotten in the places of the Wise and Great (good as well as evil). A moral of the whole (after the primary symbolism of the Ring, as the will to mere power, seeking to make itself objective by physical force and mechanism, and so also inevitably by lies) is the obvious one that without the high and noble the simple and vulgar is utterly mean; and without the simple and ordinary the noble and heroic is meaningless." Letters of JRR Tolkien, page 160. |
