...Another movie thought. In the book, the flood is described:
Dimly Frodo saw the river below him rise, and down along its course there came a plumed calvalry of waves. White flames seemed to Frodo to flicker on their crests and he half fancied that he saw amid the water white riders upon white horses with frothing manes.
I remember (and liked) the white horses but I don't remember seeing white riders. Does anyone remember seeing white riders in that scene?

Wow! We're already to Rivendell!

I don't remember seeing the white riders on the horses, and I looked to see...but I think I'll need to watch the movie again to see for sure! LOL Maybe today! My absolute favorite part of the scene on the river is this:

'By Elbereth and Luthien the Fair' said Frodo with a last effort, lifting up his sword, 'you shall have neither the Ring nor me!'

Then the leader, who was now half across the Ford, stood up menacing in his stirrups, and raised his hand. Frodo was stricken dumb. He felt his tongue cleave to roof of his mouth, and his heart labouring. His sword broke and fell out of his shaking hand.

Doesn't this sound dreadful! Makes you proud of Frodo, but really worried about him!
