| What a wonderful description of that movie moment as Gandalf sits with his head and staff drooping, knowing Denethor has sent Faramir and his men probably to their deaths in Osgiliath. Author Reply: I didn't like the way PJ depicted Faramir's charge. For I believe, from the book, that Denethor had always meant to send out help, knowing that the odds against them were so hideous. But he had to 'buy' time - he knew/hoped/wished the Rohirrim were coming and so, he sent the last of his very essence out to hold just a little longer until Theoden answered Gondor's call. But - I absolutely adored that scene as the bell tolled. I would love to have a picture of it for my wall. Thanks for reviewing! | |

| This is as beautiful as the scene in the movie that inspired it. (right after Pippin sings, isn't it?) It is one of my favorite scenes in the whole movie. It is like and Old Masters painting. MEWD! Author Reply: Yes - I wonder if that is what PJ was going for... some kind of a Rembrandt type scene. It was powerful - and the bell ringing... Thanks PT - glad you liked it! | |
