Changes made in the film (FOTR).... MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS - Page 3 - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

Skip · 16th February 2002, 10:05 PM

Oh woe! Oh woe! Poor lost Bombadillo!
Sing ours! Sing ours! Alas but 2 hours!
And thought the changes made are plenty,
It seems to me that most are done quite gently

Prophet4Profit · 16th February 2002, 10:17 PM

Though nothing else could be done in this situation,
Changes made gently 're like gentle castration!
that all will be pleased chances are slim to nill-o,
but still I do mourn the loss of old Bombadillo!

Skip · 16th February 2002, 10:34 PM

Since Tolkein does not direct the production,
Or write the script, or be part of the casting induction,
Then there never it could please all by far,
For they are audio-visual different media!

Prophet4Profit · 16th February 2002, 10:45 PM

Even if his ghost were writer-director,
No film can capture an epic's sweet nectar!
Even if Tolkein had willed the film's casting,
there would be grumbles from fans everlasting!

Skip · 16th February 2002, 10:51 PM

A shadow of orc, half done is still not whole,
But more terrifying than a big toothed mole.
And elves can never be chained by eye,
So we would forever no doubt sigh

Going now bubye

*Hatching and evil plan*

Prophet4Profit · 16th February 2002, 11:21 PM

Tra-la-la-la-lally
no songs in the valley?
la-la-la-la-lolly
oh what a great folly!
what? no elvish singing
like silver bells ringing
and joy to hearts bringing
with fingers harps stringing?
o! rinka-tin-ka-tin-ting!
oh what were they thinking?

Legolas · 17th February 2002, 01:34 PM

oh very nice!

A major change in the film from the book ....Arwen turns up instead of Glorfindel to help them escape from the Black Riders in 'flight to the ford' - actually it worked well because it shows the relationship between her and Aragorn. Apparently she is also in the battle at Helm's Deep in the film. Also, who's Morwen?

:flash:

Legolas · 18th February 2002, 08:46 PM

ya that thing in the spoiler is correct and I have absolutly no idea about the second part!

Asmiley · 18th February 2002, 08:51 PM

ditto to what legola just said.

*applause*Oh Bravo! bravo! Loved the songs! Bravo! Encore! Encore!

lisasg1 · 18th February 2002, 10:33 PM

Yeah, I agree, encore!
Those songs were great!

ray gower · 18th February 2002, 10:48 PM

Morwen- Not a bastardisation of Eowyn per chance?

If so she will not appear until next time around

Asmiley · 19th February 2002, 01:43 AM

Movie has left the theatre nearest me.
