The One Cut: Review of The Two Towers: Extended Edition
By Susan Thea Posnock
The movie versions of The Lord of the Rings could never match the book. And
that isn't a bad thing. They are visionary filmic achievements that I
believe honor the book, without being a strict paint-by-numbers retelling.
The Extended Edition of The Two Towers is a great example of why some
scenes-that perhaps make fans giddy with delight-really should be left to
the cutting room floor.
That's not to say it isn't a wonderful, rich, textually deep version of the
film. When it comes out on November 18 I'll buy it and I'll hold it in equal
esteem to the theatrical version. But watching a preview screening of it
Saturday morning, I was struck by just how successful (and necessary) the
cuts in the earlier incarnation were. It is truly a gift to fans to be able
to get these scenes back, but for the most part, I agree with Peter Jackson'
s decision to keep them out in the first place.
Taken as individual scenes, most of the new material is excellent. Perhaps
more importantly, it sheds light on Middle-earth and its history. Things
like Ents, Aragorn's lineage and Faramir's motivation are seen more clearly.
Watching all these moments, there are a few that I wish had made it to the
final cut. Without going into any specific spoilers, these include a more
detailed establishing scene before Frodo and Sam encounter Gollum, a
Frodo/Gollum moment that reinforces their connection through the ring, and a
scene in Helm's Deep between Eowyn and Aragorn that I believe takes dialogue
from Return of the King and demonstrates the pain of her unrequited love for
him.
The one scene that stands above the rest among the new elements is the
flashback involving Boromir, Faramir and their father, Denethor. It features
some of the finest acting of all the films, with John Noble's performance as
Denethor adding depth not only to Faramir in this film, but Boromir in
Fellowship of the Ring. Sean Bean reminds us what a driving, powerful force
he was in that film. Bust most importantly, the scene sets up the changes in
Faramir's character. While I still ultimately disagree with these, at least
the inclusion of the flashback gives the "new" Faramir substance, versus his
just being an obstacle in Frodo's way.
Of the scenes that I'm glad didn't make it into the theatrical version the
one that sticks out the most is a pure nod to the fans. It is one with Merry
and Pippin after the fall of Isengard. My problem with it isn't so much the
scene itself, but its placement after the climax of the film, when the
emotions are the highest. It cuts into that feeling in the last 10 minutes.
The theatrical version, from Gandalf's return to Sam's speech to Gollum's
final inner struggle is, in my opinion, flawless.
Oh, and I haven't even gotten into the extras.Without going into details,
all I can say is the obsession that went into making these films is at least
equal (and perhaps surpasses) the obsession of the fans watching. I
seriously doubt that geeks can ever expect a better, more beautiful, more
faithful (at least in spirit) adaptation. These are cinematic masterpieces,
every stroke made with love.

Mi togli una curiosita'? Quanto verrebbe a costare la deluxe edition? Dato che
la deluxe di FOTR aveva un prezzo variante da 130 euro (tipo in un ipermercato)
a 75 euro (A Lucca Comics) sarei curioso di sapere il prezzo ufficiale.
A proposito dell'extended version della compagnia dell'Anello, ma che cosa disse
Gimli in elfico (credo) all'elfo simpaticone sovrappeso del reame incantato di
Lothlorien?

Secondo me era in "nanico"... e non doveva essere niente di carino
