Lord of the Rings: 24 years ago who reads books

Difficult (if impossible) to adapt to such a dense work, as rich and as difficult as Rings On the screen without some minor changes. If only to reduce the duration of films, sometimes it is necessary to change one character intervention, the replica to move to a more reasonable cinematic moment, or to remove certain passages that are very difficult for recovery.

Even if some breadmakes sometimes find Peter Jackson’s slight embodiment of forgiveness, it is obvious (when reading the original works) that most of the time, modifications to change his scenario were wisely and with deep respect.

• Lord of the Rings: What became the king’s return?

Leak

In 2001, while seeing a community in the cinema, a convincing and scrupulous reader of Tolkien’s work was undoubtedly surprised when he discovered a Chase scene that was Frodon and Black Cavalry.

At first the chapter reads LeakThis episode becomes ragragorn and four hobbies slowly approach the fondcombe. Frodon, one of the Nazgali, struck them, they significantly slow down walking and are forced to cross the diverted paths to spoil the way of their persecution.

It is they who joined the elf named Glorfind, an illustrated character who appeared Silmarillion In Tolkien’s work and describes that surrounded by intense light (“The white light seemed to be produced from the shape and dressed as a rider as in a thin cow.”). Within two days, it takes travelers by installing Frodo on the back of his horse asphalt. When they reach Fondcombe Ford (or Bruinen Ford, according to translations), they catch them in the Nazguli, which hurry to persecute them.

Glorfind or Arven?

By the order of Glorfindel, the horse then drives Frodon alone to Ford and crosses it. When black cavalry try to protect it, they immediately follow the exciting waves that imitate the form of large white horses caused by the defense system developed by Elrond and is perfect.

As you know, you know whether Peter Jackson’s trilogy is not going to the cinema exactly. Indeed, the character of Glorfindel, who does not exist from feature films, has changed Argen, Elrond’s daughter, and Aragorn’s bride, who only find fondcombe in original books. A decision that can be easily understood, given the fact that the first part of the Rings lord features several female characters.

Why this decision?

Organizing a few expected match between Arwen and Aragorn, so Peter Jackson had the opportunity to make it easier to extract Elven’s Princess in history, strengthen his connections with the heir to Isildur, and, above all, offer him an epic scene. This is how in the cinema, Arena maintains a horse, on which he escapes with Frodon, directs impulsive persecution against the Nazuges, personally stands on Ford, and causes a shiny cavalcade that wins.

More logical, given the importance of the character later, this sensational and very well rhythmic scene in any case offers the real moment of the play that promotes the cinema audience.

Keep in mind that in 1978 the animated version produced by Ralph Baksh in 1978, Glorfindel has already replaced Legolas in the episode of Gué de la Buinen.
