Is it just me, or does anyone else love this part of The Two Towers. It's such a magical part for me and the description of the scenery is just so awe-inspiring.
I saw The Two Towers before reading the book, however the description by Tolkien just seems to have this omnipotence over the film's setting and just so more lifelike and imaginable.
Anyone else feel this way?

I love the part in Ithilien! I love the description of how beautiful Ithilien is, and Faramir's one of my favorite characters. In the book. I have to confess that I read TTT after watching the movie, so I didn't have a problem with Faramir in the movie, but now that I watch it again, it's like WHAT'S UP WITH HIM?! Now I don't like it in the movie as much, but I love this part of the book.

oh yes!!! i agree heartily!!!! one of the best things about tolkien's writing is that he has a masterful way of describing the scenery without making it boring...that's a true sign of a good author...making something that could be boring, not boring at all!

Yes the description of Ithilien is beautiful!!! I especially love the Window on the West chapter where Frodo looks out past the waterfall, Tolkien is such an amazing author. Although the windo on the west was nice in the film I don't think it was anywhere near as beautiful as it is in the book. And the rest of Ithilien in the film is kinda...I can't think of the word lol. And I really didn't like the change in Faramir  , in fact, there are few changes that I do like  |

Yes yes yes I absolutely love that whole sequence in the books, and Peter Jackson, in my opinion, butchered it a bit, mostly by making Faramir act that way...and if I remember correctly Sam doesn't get to say one of the best (my opinion) lines in the book:
'When you're short of sleep cold water on the neck's like rain on wilted lettuce.'
Teeheehee I am a huge fan of Sam, Frodo, and Faramir...along with others...but especially them in that scene...

Faramir is probably my favorite character. Him, Sam, and Eowyn.
That was my favorite part of TTT..at least for now, it changes all the time...
The best quote is in there as well..check my banner.

I love those chapters, Faramir is my favourite character and Ithilien is such a beautiful setting. I was sad that the magic of those chapters was not really translated into the film  |

It's one of my favourite parts!!! I love it how Faramir is curious about the hobbits and his kindness to them. I love the part where they are discussing what they have found, little elves   |
