Arwen started two tears rolling down my cheek. I am not sure why other than Liv Tyler reminds me of the loveliness of the brunette beauties I knew in high school. In the middle somewhere I was choking up because I realized that Peter Jackson had captured the book as perfectly as anyone can translate a marvelous book to the screen. Then a few more tears when I realized that Boromir would die soon. (BTW I am a tough old guy.)

I just now saw your post. I am sorry I missed it the first time through. I surprisingly enough was not brought to tears during the movie. For a "girl" I usually have kind-of a delayed-reaction when there is extreme emotion. I have a feeling I will cry if I see it again, because a few scenes from the film were played last night on National Geographic, and Frodo's eyes brought me to tears then.

Very well put. I had just those sorts of tears, the sort of, "Gosh, this is perfect" tears. Other kids of tears, too; not quite flowing as they did with Saving Private Ryan and The Patriot, but lots of welling and trickling.
