this is not only an incredibly wonderful achievement in a trilogy, but the entire trilogy as a whole is stunning. how peter jackson was able to put to screen this incredibly intelligent, fantastic and literate story amazes me...and how some people still manage to complain stuns me.
ex: why is everyone complaining about the "15 ending scenes"? wtf? i know some of you haven't read the book but for those of us who have, all the pieces were important. indeed, much was left out.
apparently, unless you follow the traditional formulaic rhythm of a film some people simply freak out. one of the most important things in the book is the manner in which frodo reacts to coming home and his ultimate realisation that it is impossible for him to rejoin his life. this only takes a few minutes in the film but you'd rather just chop off the last 15 minutes?
its not a puppet show, you know?
