Actually, if you'll read my previous post, i was trying to get other people's logical opinions on why that happened, because i hoped there was some other reason, and I couldn't think of anything else. i especially was hoping this, because i didn't want to think of that kind of thing every time i watch that scene. and now that i think about it, what Olsomn said does make sense. if you think about it, Gandalf wasn't trying to fool Wormtongue or Theoden, he was trying to make Hama think that he was decrepit and needed help. so after passing Hama, he didn't have to pretend anymore.

P.S. could the people who are debating about the stuff in the books please not post here, because the stuff you are talking about doesn't have a lot to do with the subject of this thread, and if you keep on posting, im afraid that the administrators will lock the thread. thanks

I think Legolas and Gandalf had linked arms because they were friends, and glad to see one another. Just friends.

Hehehehe!

Go friendship!

Gandalf was pretending to be a decrepit old man and that he need his staff for walking support. If he hadn't put on this clever show, Hama probably wouldn't have let him in otherwise. Nobody would suspect a poor, old man.

Elessar the Elfstone · 04-07-2003, 03:45 PM

Hey A few minutes before gandalf says to hama he is old and needs his staff but when he enters meduseld instead of leaning on his staff he's linking arms with legolas

so wouldn't hama guess something and request him to leave if he dosn't leave his staff outside.

Gwaimir Windgem · 04-07-2003, 04:44 PM

That's just what I was thinking. The reason Gandalf did that was to keep his staff. Why not lean on his staff then?

Bombadillo · 04-07-2003, 10:36 PM

I didn't notice that and don't really want to explain it. But there was another scene in Rivendel that I noticed (and I'll look for a picture), where Gandalf bends down not facing the camera, and Legolas is staring at his ass with one eyebrow raised.

TopazJedi · 04-09-2003, 01:31 AM

Hahaha!

LOL! Could you be more specific on where that was (eg. lines said before or after, or name of scene). You know what? I just thought of something. What if the actors did those two things on purpose, to see if crazed fans like me would notice. Maybe they will reveal in the commentary of ROTK that the whole thing was put on to scare the legolas fans.

"Would you deprive an old man of his prop?"

In the book I think it is Aragorn who assists the "helpless, old" Gandalf hobble in as the pretext for letting him keep his staff.

Gwaimir Windgem · 04-10-2003, 04:36 PM

Tho' why would someone help him? Why not just lean on his staff, as the purpose was so that he could keep it to lean on?

Elfhelm · 04-10-2003, 06:30 PM

I'm going to guess that both Tolkien and PJ felt it necessary for Gandalf to enact a false feebleness because we are too thick in the head to get it otherwise?

Why did someone make this pointless post? *Gasp! Just because Gandalf and Legolas are linked arm in arm for a few seconds, they're obviously into sexual activity or *gasp* they might even be gay!*

You people make me sick.

Yeah! Now if they did that scene from Gods and Monsters, THEN there might be a discussion. What about the scene where two guys are ... like ... hugging! omigosh! Imagine if they actually kissed like in the BOOKS! oh my!

they're not gay! if you noticed, that guy says 'I need to take your weapons, as commanded' or something like that, and he wants to take Galdalf's staff off him. Gandalf says 'you wouldn't rob an OLD man of his walking stick, would you?' and is allowed in. Legolas is just 'helping' him walk because he is old!

i bet this has been posted...if not...duh! it comes to everyone now, doesn't it??? plus...L/G just ISN'T right!

He halted just by us and looked down at us. "Gandalf!" I said at last, but my voice was only a whisper. Did he say: "Hullo, Pippin! This is a pleasant surprise!" No, indeed! He said: "Get up, you tom-fool of a Took! Where, in the name of wonder, in all this ruin is Treebeard? I want him. Quick!"' 'What are we going to do now then?' asked Pippin, undaunted by the wizard's bristling brows. "Knock on the door with your head, Peregrin Took,' said Gandalf. 'But if that does not shatter them, and I am allowed a little peace from foolish questions, I will seek for the opening words.' 'Fool of a Took!' he growled. 'This is a serious journey, not a hobbit walking-party. Throw yourself in next time, and then you will be no further nuisance. Now be quiet!'
