dailythranduilproject: Sometimes a film director does not put on screen exactly what he wants, we all know the motives.There is a whole language behind Thranduil, especially in BOTFA, symbolic, where the Thranduil that he wanted to on the scene is translated.The immortal warrior, the Lion-King, with all the symbolism that implies, the solar emperor and the doe. Thranduil appears in more than one scene with the doe statue behind him. Lamentations for the dead elves? Not only that, it’s in the background. His important decisions lie under the eyes of the deer’s wife.I do not agree with the version of Thranduil’s dead wife, but in the film, her omnipresence in all acts of the King is well represented.Peter Jackson is good at symbolism and through them he tells us the story he really wanted to tell. @bellevox -- source link
