The scene is where Gandalf rides to Minas Tirith to find the docs Isildur wrote about the Ring.
Basically it's when he rides up, stops and looks a bit worried, then it cuts to what he can see. The view is Minas Tirith on the extreme right and in the 'foreground' (although obviously still fairly far away), and the mountains to the west of Mordor are visible - you see dark clouds swelling up behind them, and lightening, and (I think, can't verify until I've seen it again ) you can see red flame, presumably from the top of Mt Doom, towards the top left. And Osgiliath may be ruined, but without explosives and such stuff, I can't see how 'ruined' can mean 'flattened completely to the ground', it would just mean more than a tad run down and most definately deserted, but still visible. |

this may be completely wrong, as i can't recall my sources for these thoughts. i do agree, though, that anything of any size would have been seen by looking from minas tirith toward mt. doom. am going to see the movie again today - i'll look again, myself.

Okay, Question for you guys who've seen LOTR 4 or more times: not having unlimited time I've been saving my next (2nd) visit to the cineplex for next week -- there are very few movies I've been able to enjoy after seeing them twice. The only two I can think of are High Noon and (blush) The Faculty, because Elijah Wood is so cool in it.
So don't you get bored after seeing it several times? Please explain. |

Nope, Entlover, we don't get bored, b/c it's such a darn good movie. I wish I could see it again. Oh, and Elijah Wood is cute as Frodo, too . . .

The non-leaf clasp is indeed undone the whole time. The leaf clasp remains done.
