In The Lord of the Rings, Galadriel’s Best Line Was Stolen

I was watching a behind-the-scenes featurette about The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, and Peter Jackson talked about how he really played with Tolkien’s dialogue. He said they’d actually take lines originally meant for characters like Elrond and give them to Aragorn instead! Sometimes dialogue that was supposed to happen in a beautiful place like Lothlórien would end up being spoken in the dark Mines of Moria. But he felt it still felt like Tolkien because it was still his actual wording. He was so sure this would work that he even did it with Galadriel’s very first lines, and apparently, nobody even noticed! It’s amazing how much freedom he took while still respecting the source material.
