Who Is The Most Beautiful Of Them All?


Who Is The Most Beautiful Of Them All?

 

                 Cate Blanchett plays Galadriel the Elven queen in ‘The Hobbit’ and all of the L.O.T.R series (Lord of the Ring series).  She has won the Oscar award and            many of the Lord of the Rings fans were surprised to see her.   She is also known as The Lady of Lothlorien or The hope against darkness.    Galadriel was not mentioned in the noel but she does appear in the movie.  Cate says, “It was a homecoming.  So much has changed for us all personally and professionally, but it is a testament to the unwavering integrity and talent of Peter, Fran, Philippa, and the crew that the atmosphere seemed as fresh, engaged, risky, and unpretentious as the first time around.  The actors are all 10 years older but hopefully wiser as well—and wisdom is a friend when tackling Tolkien.”   

                In the Lord of the Rings Galadriel believes that she is the most beautiful elf around.  That happens when she is being tempted by the ring.  Everything goes blue around her and she says something like she will be loved by all and worshiped.  With the ring she believes that she could come to be, but realizes that it could/should not be so. –Smaug
