If it was possible to cut someone out of the movie, who would it be? - Page 5

it wouldnt be good to cut out anybody actually .accept the made up characters like lurtz spongehead orc and the other ones.

'Spongehead Orc'

AKA Gothmog, the lieutenant of Minas Morgul
isn't actualy a made up character
he is in the books, although hes mentioned only once, as rallying troops after the fall of the witch king, BUT he isnt referred to as an orc in the books, tolkien doesn't specify what race he is, although most people believe he was a Black Numenorean, like the Mouth of Sauron (who i was extremely disappointed not to see in the film

)

i now quote from the book:
(ROTK [book 5], Chapter VI 'The Battle of The Pelennor Fields'

"... they had been mustering for the sack of the City and the rape of Gondor, waiting on the call of their Captain. He now was destroyed; but Gothmog the Lieutenant of Morgul had flung them into the fray; ..."

go to www.glyphweb.com/arda (the Encyclopaedia of Arda)
and look up gothmog for more information.

I dont know if this is the right place to post this, but I just watched the FOTR again yesterday, and I really cant stand the part when the movie is leading in, and they have Galadriel (the lovely Cate Blanchett) say:

Quote:

The world has changed; I can feel it in the water.

This really irks me, because everyone in the whole damn Middle-earth knows that the place was changed. Did the whole sinking of great Numenor (Sp?) escape her, to where she all of a sudden realises that there is a whole island missing? And did it also escape her that all the land west of the Ered Wetherin (Blue Mts, I think, need to check the map again, I'd imagine) sunk into the ocean when the Valar came and destroyed Melkor or whatever?

I know its a little thing, but it really gets to me. Sorry. This should probably be in the vent thread.

Oh, and i think they should get rid of the jackass who decided to kill that one dude in that one scene that didnt even exist in the book. I cant remember his name for the life of Hamas! that was it. Get rid of the guy who had him killed right there.

yes, in the book, hama doesnt die until the orcs attack the hornburg there was no need for him to be killed off in that awful warg scene

My problem with this line si more that it was actually said by treebeard in the books. Why give it to Galadriel? Why not have Treebeard say it?

Beor · 03-10-2004, 01:44 PM

Oh, someone really says this? Well, talk about being a jackass. Good point with having Galadriel say it though, and I'll tell you why they gave it to G rather than Treebeard, its because they dont want you to take the trees too seriously, they are no better than dwarves in PJ's eyes.

by the way, I am happy

but not about this
