Default Re: OT- LOTR fan discussion thread - SPOILER WARNING

Hmm, well I only glanced through the book really quickly Last night, and the part before the charge seemed to be the same ("We're outnumbered...", etc.). So it was even more toward the direction of slowing down the armies of Mordor as much as possible, to allow more time for reinforcements to come to Minas Tirith.

And, I just watched the movie again today, and payed more attention to the Éowyn/Faramir thing... well, turns out they're shown standing next to each other three times, briefly. Bowing to Aragorn, a shot right around when Aragorn grabs Arwen (and they have their ways with each other), and bowing to the hobbits. Probably a total of five seconds. I think it's just because I read the books that I noticed that, and wondered where the explanation was.

Also... didn't the shock from stabbing the Witch King injure both Merry and Éowyn? I seem to remember them in the Houses of Healing with Faramir, and yet Merry is out at the Black Gate, good as new, as if nothing happened (remember too, Pippin found him pretty much passed out on the battlefield in the movie).

Oh well, I still liked the movies as a whole. The gripes are minor.
