Arwenian costume change
I noticed in my last viewing [#7] that when Arwen comes up to Frodo for the first time in the forest, she is dressed in the white dress she wears in the "bridge scene" with Aragorn. This is when she is all framed in light and talking Elven, approaching the camera. Yet when the wider shot comes in, with she and Aragorn approaching Frodo, she has a dark green riding thingy on. So do you think Jackson is attempting to infer that Frodo was so close to succumbing to the Morgul Blade and the Ring that he was seeing Arwen as she really is? Sort of like the concept that elves see in two worlds? Curious to see what you folks think.

A moral of the whole (after the primary symbolism of the Ring, as the will to mere power, seeking to make itself objective by physical force and mechanism, and so also inevitably by lies) is the obvious one that without the high and noble the simple and vulgar is utterly mean; and without the simple and ordinary the noble and heroic is meaningless." Letters of JRR Tolkien, page 160. |
