The scene when Faramir is charging back to Osgiliath is one of the most beautifully filmed and edited pieces. The charge, the cutback to Denethor eating... Pippin singing that song. It's great art.

It is almost as perfect as the montage of images as the army approaches at Helm's Deep with the orcs, the sharpening of weapons and the arming of the children. Great art again.

How can a man who understands the subtle art of those scenes hack into the middle of the scene with Eowyn and the Witch King and give her a line like "I am no man"?

~shakes head~

Men are capable of great things... but they might also fart right in the middle of dinner.

Yep, that boy just about tripped over the imaginary threshhold...

And yep, that charge/song/lunch bit and the Helm's Deep sequences are great...

But contrarily, I really liked the "I am no Man" scene too...

...and I'd really like to hear a blacksmith comment on the reforging of Anduril. I think the comment might be "You gotta be Fargin' kiddin'!"

Not anyone we know, surely.
