On: My Father's "Eviscerated" work - Son of J.R.R. Tolkien finally speaks out

[simonh]

I prefer the ending in the film, that the go back to the shire as ordinary folk. That when Sam proposes to his sweetheart he does it not as a conquering hero, but as a humble, nervous young man. "It was the bravest thing he ever did". Perfect.

He could have kicked ass scourging the shire AND get nervous proposing to his sweetheart. That's even endearing.
