SPOTTED MISTAKES!! *spoilers warning* - Page 6

They try to hide it with gandlafs clothes

eowyngirl14 · 01-08-2003, 09:34 PM

You'de think they would come up with something a little more clever than that... was it a white saddle at least?

They could have gotten white stirrups too!

Arathorn · 01-09-2003, 01:42 AM

With the technology available today, they can always digitally erase the saddle like the way they erase andy Serkis and put in Gollum. That's just a guess, of course.

eowyngirl14 · 01-09-2003, 04:33 PM

That would amke sense Arathorn, all this digital stuff is starting to scare me!!!!

donagel · 01-10-2003, 02:24 PM

Perhaps it was a trick of light but I think I saw a mistake in the "future" scene of Aragorn lying dead, and then turing into a tomb with his "love" standing over him. It appeared to me that the dead and the stone aragorn blinks several times.

Also, from a timeline perspective, several of the ents from the entmoot heed treebeards call for war. Were they following him??They are not the fastest of creatures.

I know the scene at the wall was hillarious, but Gimli is not that short. He barely comes up to Legolas waist at the wall, while in other scenes he is at least 8 to 12 inches taller.

And lastly, I realize its in the book, but how does a dwarf with little stuby legs and in full armour keep up with 2 lightly armoured, long-legged people on a 3 day run?

Lol! The stone blinks!

LuthienTinuviel · 01-10-2003, 11:32 PM

oooh i thought i saw the flinchy stone as well!

i just chalked it up to a trick of the light, but now that someone else has mentioned it.. hmmm....

im just dissapointed that there's no cars in this one.

Tawfret Melee · 01-11-2003, 06:28 AM

To comment upon some things said aways back there:

Merry's wound shouldn't have healed. It says in the book that he carried the scar until the day he died, so that was a mistake regardless of whether they drank the Ent Draught between scenes.

As for Legolas' changing eyes... so many people in the audience noticed this, that I wondered how it could go unnoticed by the production crew?

And couldn't they just use computers to fix the problem if they had noticed? Half the movie's computer generated anyway!

And finally, on Arwen's youthful appearance in the flash-forwards. I thought that Elrond was doing the elven 'psychic' trick that has already been established, and was showing her images of her future. I thought that the present-day Arwen was viewing the premonitions as her current self, and not as the aged self that she would actually be when Aragorn died. Er... I'm probably totally wrong, so I'll just chalk this one up as another excuse to see the movie again!

BeardofPants · 01-11-2003, 06:52 AM

She became mortal, not human. I don't think she was supposed to age visibly.

Tawfret Melee · 01-11-2003, 09:09 AM

Thanks. I like that explanation tons better.

I'm still going to see the film again, though!

Evenstar1400 · 01-12-2003, 01:47 PM

Ya know when Frodo falls into the Dead Marshes with all the "dead things"? One of them looked like they only had 4 fingers instead of 5. It could be that that particular "dead thing" had lost a finger in the battle....... but still.............

HobbitChick88 · 01-12-2003, 06:55 PM

If you lookreally, really, really closely, you can see Merry's scar, but it's very light. You can see just a small bit of red, but it's there.
And also, as someone else mentioned earlier, when it does a wide shot of Gimli, Legolas, and Aragorn, if you watch Legolas, you can see that he trips and nearly falls down.

It's kinda funny (even though elves don't trip over stuff)!!

Elf Girl · 01-12-2003, 06:59 PM

I saw the movie again yesterday but I didn't see any of these.

eowyngirl14 · 01-13-2003, 11:12 PM

Evenstar1400, we need to see the movie again and check out the mysterious blinking stone and this 4-fingered dead thing of yours!

Legolas_Frodo_Aragorn · 01-14-2003, 09:58 PM

my friend noticed the 4 fingered thing too...creep *shudder* lol.

eowyngirl14 · 01-14-2003, 10:03 PM

Legolas_Frodo_Aragorn, I believe the person we speak of is one and the same... *cough *caroline*cough*

Legolas_Frodo_Aragorn · 01-14-2003, 10:27 PM

didnt realize that was u carrie...

eowyngirl14 · 01-14-2003, 10:38 PM

That is okay. I realize that i can be rather elusive at times! Hee Hee Hee... You can never tell if I am really there or not... BE AFRAID! BE VERY AFRAID!

Did anyone notice that David Wenham who plays Faramir in TTT has the wrong hair colour?
In RotK - The Steward and the King, you can read that Faramir's hair is black as a raven, and in all art made by the famous Tolkien concept artists you can see his black hair.

It's strange that the movie makers missed that. All the other characters have been compared to the existing art. Look at Gandalf for example, he looks just like he does in a painting by John Howe:
http://inkpot.com/classical/images/gandalf.jpg

The movie makers even had the concept artists Alan Lee and John Howe working for them. Couldn't they say "Hey, you must do something about Wenham's hair"?

Otherwize, I think that Wenham preformed very well, even though Faramir was a little more evil in the movie than in the books. Faramir is one of my favourite characters in Lotr and that is why I reacted on his hair in the movie

Yeah I noticed that too. I reckon they did that because a)they wanted to keep the similarity theme going between Boromir and Faramir and b) because it would look odd if you had a pale skinned man with black hair. They would have to have somebody mediterranean looking to carry off the black hair. or c)They were just too stupid to notice
