in the movie you don't see her strength, her heritage. her dad was a legend, her bringing that up in the book was awesome. then u also see the extent of her love...
Quote:
"begone foul dwimerlaik, lord of carion, leave the dead in peace"
"come not between the nazgul and his prey, or he will not slay thee in thy tr=urn, instead, he will bear the away to the houses of lamentation where thy flesh shal be devoured and thy shriveled mind left naked to the lidless eye"
"do what u will, but i will hinder u if i may"
"hinder me! though fool, no living man may hinder me!"
then merry heard of all sounds in that hour, the strangest, it seemed as if dernhelm laughed, "but no living man am i, u look upon a woman, eowyn am i eomunds daughter, u stand between me and my lord and kin, begon for whether u be living or dark undead i will smite u if u touch him"
the winged creature screoamed at her, but the wraith remaind silent as if in sudden doubt......
much more profound than the 'i am no man' and then she kills him.....
I agree completely! That part was so disappointing in the movie. The book sums the occurrance up much better.
