[QUOTE]Originally posted by Nim: [QB] Just came home from watching it, how I ache of sweet sorrow. I surprised myself at one point, when Eowyn (Dernhelm) scoops up Merry, the "scrawny-bickering-puritan" in me actually sighed and rolled eyes at Merry's comment. My brother turned and said "Oh come on, what is it [i]this[/i] time?" I said that her identity was to be kept a secret, as Dernhelm, until they arrive at the battle! After that, the last shards of what was left of my petty "book-phile" side fell silent, at the thunder of the charging Mumakil. And they DID catapult the decapitated Gondorian soldiers' heads! And you DID get to see Frodo's torn-off finger! I'm still recovering from the fact that they pulled off the Gollum/Frodo struggle and came up with a satisfactory solution to Gollum's death. I was at ease. At the coronation I actually tried to get "in the mood" in order to be touched by it, but something was missing. I started worrying maybe it wouldn't get any better than this. Then they bowed to the hobbits. "Oh, there it is..." At Sam's wedding, my nose started bleeding from the pressure of holding back the tears (just a few seconds though). Finally, at the Grey Havens, I couldn't possibly hold back anymore, nor did I want to. Ever since I finished the last page of the book I had been waiting for this. It was so cool of the hobbits to stay somber at the Green Dragon, and make a silent toast in remembrance of all that had transpired. I really appreciated that. Also, I hadn't expected them to follow the book as close as they did in the last scene, and for that I will be eternally grateful to the moviemakers. [b]At last the three companions turned away, and never again looking back they rode slowly homewards; and they spoke no word to one another until they came back to the Shire, but each had great comfort in his friends on the long grey road. ...But Sam turned to Bywater, and so came back up the Hill, as day was ending once more. And Rose drew him in...and put little Elanor upon his lap. He drew a deep breath. 'Well, I'm back,' he said.[/b] [/QB][/QUOTE]
