[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 368296, member: 177"] I'm not sure I agree. From that scene: "She lifted up her hand and from the ring that she wore there issued a great light that illumined her alone, and left all else dark. She stood before Frodo seeming now tall beyond measurement, and beautiful beyond enduring, terrible and worshipful. Then she let her hand fall, and the light faded, and suddenly she laughed again, and lo!she was shrunken: a slender elf-woman, clad in simple white, whose gentle voice was soft and sad." This sort of thing is common for Tolkien. His characters occasionally take on a seeming greater than that of a normal mortal. The state is generally short lived, but marked. A viewer should not be able to miss it. So, you think a normal mortal actress should be able to handle this transformation without aid? I can't name an actress who can even manage being "terrible and worshipful", much less be able to project a change to and from that state with only her own acting ability. Sorry, P-cat, but until we find an actual Noldor elf to play the part, I think our mere human actresses will need some [i]enhancement[/i]. :) In a radio play they can manage it, because your own mind provides the visual imagry. But on screen, the visual image must be produced by the filmmakers. [/QUOTE]
