The look of the forbidden pool in Ithilien
|
Can't Post

This scene in TTT was such a shock to me when I first saw it in the theatres because - amazingly enough - the Art Design team on the films recreated the landscape of the forbidden pool, the cliff, and the moon and landscape in the background exactly as I had imagined it when I'd read the book earlier that same year (although I imagined Faramir approaching with his archers from the right instead of the left side). It also marks the only time I've EVER felt 100% that my own image of the book had been translated to the screen - not that it makes a lot of difference either way, but it was still a pretty unbelievable experience. 
Did anyone else feel likewise about this scene, or others in the series?
'I do not know what is happening. The reason of my waking mind tells me that great evil has befallen and we stand at the end of days. But my heart says nay; and all my limbs are light, and a hope and joy are come to me that no reason can deny. Eowyn, Eowyn, White Lady of Rohan, in this hour I do not believe that any darkness will endure!' And he stooped and kissed her brow.

I admit that my Middle-earth was shaped by Alan Lee's paintings,

I found it interesting that Christopher Tolkien cited John Howe and Alan Lee

I'm not sure Christopher Tolkien is complaining about any one specific art style...

They got the harbor right, and the ship style, and the direction and the time of day...
