TolkienMovies.com September 4, 2001 The Recent Poll Question As a regular visitor to this site, I was intigued by the new
poll question and the options it gave, though i found myself unable to decide on any of
the given choices. 'whimsical' i feel is entirely the wrong word to have for the
description of how one feels after reading LOTR. Myself,, and im sure many will agree with
me, that the overall feeling is more one of melancholia, and in my mind i always imagine
barbers adagio for strings accompanying the final chapter, and if the film were to leave
me feeling any other way, i would feel cheated indeed. Sure, i want to see drama and
adventure as well, but if it fails to capture the sense of beauty fading from the world
that the book conveys, then peter jackson will have failed. |
