There is one thing that's not been mentioned in this Forum, which I feel does add to the movie. That is the presence of refugees and victims of war, those who are incapble of fighting but who must get out of the way. JRRT makes brief reference to this, but does not go into the detail that PJ does. The movie reminds us in a concrete way how the Shadow touched the lives of the everyday person in Middle-earth. It wasn't only the Frodos and Aragagorns and Gimlis who found their lives turned upside down.<P>This is a nice touch on PJ's part.<p>[ December 19, 2002: Message edited by: Child of the 7th Age ]
