kribbanI dreamt last night that I was reading TTT to Malin. Eventually I found a hidden chapter (ooohhh, don´t we all wish we could do that) somehow after The Voice of Saruman, in which Gandalf, for some magical purpose, killed and tortured some ents. When confronted by a disgusted Pippin he said oh, you have to break a few eggs to make an omelette, and then somewhere I read, in some biography of Tolkien, some experts saying "This philosophy is one of the prominent themes in The Lord of the Rings, that the end always justifies the means..." (!) Later in the chapter Theoden told Gandalf that he had to apologize to Treebeard, and he reluctantly did so while whining like a baby. ("But it´s not faaaaiir, Theeeeoden. The trees where just staaanding there!")
Having seen TTT three times, one thing always disturb me: The audience laughs at Gollum. Not just when he's arguing with Sam but when he´s arguing with himself, when he´s crying, when he lies naked and crying in Faramir's cave.... How can people be so insensitive?
