He does the melancholical air of Faramir very well. The moment when he is sitting in the cave (just before Anborn tells him they've found Gollum in the pool) - I could look at that for hours. Actually, I use to replay all the Faramir scenes.

But I'm still waiting for RotK to be played in English where I live - I hate synchronisations.

Cool, thanks for mentioning him. I am trying to remember everyone's real names.:-)

I can only imagine your pain, Eoghanán. How's the weather in Germany?
Es ist "nicht gut" im Australien... that's probably wrong, but cut me some slack, I'm still learning.

I can't imagine Gandalf with a German accent... although I imagine it would be pretty damn funny.

The different accents of the actors get lost, and some voices just don't match. Galadriel's German voice *shudder*

I've got the EE DVDs, and in Germany, you have the language option between German and English (and with or without subtitles).

Elijah Wood was guest in a German Saturday Evening TV show a few days before RotK started. They showed a little scene, and then Elijah said, "wow, I had no idea I suddenly can speak German. That's cool." (Nice fellow, BTW, he stayed all through the show. Often star guests leave after their part.)


In case you wonder about my name (alias): it is not German, it is Pictish.

Pictish?

The Picts - a people living in Britain in Dark Age times. Their language was a Celtic one.

They're one of my research subjects (I'm a historian), and Eoghanán was the name of their last king, who in 846AD was defeated by Cinaéd of the Scottish Dál Riata, who then became King of Alba.

I also wrote a story about him.

My real name is Gabriele.

If you want, check my website. Scroll down a bit until you come to "Short Stories". There's one entitled "I Was King", it is about Eoghanán.

I just wanted to pop this to the first page.

It is bad enough Peter treated poor Faramir almost as negligently as did Denethor.

We should pay him more respect.

I've only seen him in LotR and Moulin Rouge... though, I have NO idea WHO he played in that.

I'm not a moviegoer. Actually, the LOTR movies, Cyrano de Bergerac and Kenneth Branagh's Henry-film were the only ones I saw the last ten years. So, I judge the actors only by their performance in LOTR.

I believe in scene 28, if you look Behind the curtain, there's a shadow moving around. That's not him.

I have no idea either.

::OFF TOPIC:: Wow Eoghanán... your website is cool! Now I wanna be a medievalist! Your stories are great! By the way, since you're kinda into it, do you know some good web sites with Scandinavian and Slavic mythology, and middle-age legends in general? Would you mind posting it... I'm doing kind of a story myself. thank you!

I'd like to learn more about it too. I'm not doing a story, but I'm naturally curious.

As a professional historian I rely more on books than on websites, and many books I use aren't written in English.

There is a good site about Scandinavian culture:
http://www.vikinganswerlady.com/

You can use this one to learn about King Arthur:

And I'll keep an eye open for other sources about legends.

BTW Thanks for the compliment

I would like to, but Troy is first priority. I want to see that first, and then I will get around to seeing Van Helsing after that.
