Holding a blade to your beloved's throat
Isn't it funny? It looks like that the surest way to woo a man is to take a sword and to prick his throat with it...
Arwen is doing that to Aragorn. Eowyn is doing that to Aragorn. Aragorn seems pleased and impressed. I will not be surprised it there is a rejected scene with Eowyn wooing Furamir thusly . I wonder, perhaps Eowyn tried the same trick with the Witch-King, only missed a little? |

Your forgetting Sam and Gollum several times if i'm not mistaken, and what about Aragorn and the King of the Dead in Return of the king!? Sparks are flying i think...

Cool! I think the Arwen and Eowyn holding swords to Aragorn is very suggestive. I think that idea is a good one. It does look a bit suggestive, doesn't it? A bit flirty too.

I think it was a BAD idea. Imagine how real Aragorn might feel when a woman pricks his neck with a sword. To a warroir it means defeat, capture and death, just at subconscious level. Moreover, Aragorn's warrior training, ALL his instincts would make him react before any notions of courtesy etc. would resurface. That was just not feasible! |

It is a bit suggestive, but it wasn't a good idea IMO to assume that Aragorn was so kinky.

I think its bulls--t. In real life, no one - no man, no woman, no elf or whatever, would find it cute, flirty, sexy, or in any way a positive thing to be brought to a swordpoint. Have you ever been stabbed? Do you know what it feels like? Like Crazy Squirrel says, what do you think Aragorn's TRUE instinctive warrior reaction would have been? You think he'd feel all warm and fuzzy about some chick who made HIM feel weak and defeated?!?
I mean, REAL LIFE! Please, this isn't real life, it's the movies were talking about here.

My main point was that no chick could ever had a chance to best Aragorn or even to creep on him unawares. If Aragorn was that careless he wouldn't have survived a month in the wilderness.

I can't guess Peter Jackson's motive for it, but maybe he was just trying to give the women a strong presence so the are not lost behind the men.

But, sneaky with a sword does not necessarily translate as strong. A good screenwriter with some respectful alliegance to Tolkien could have written in real character strength without having to rely on cheap tactics like the old tip-of-blade-to-other-person's-neck ploy.
(anybody seen those old Pink Panther movies?)

Arwen is an Elf and from what I understand you can't hear one sneak up on you.
Also, in case you didn't notice, Aragon had a very perterbed look on his face as she said, "What's this? A Ranger? Caught off his guard?"

I dunno, guys. I'd think it was TOTALLY hot if a chick held me up at sword point.
