whenever this is brought up it will *always* remind me of one of my favourite exchanges between Sean Astin and the LoTR DoP Andrew Lesnie on the Return of the King commentary
Astin- “where is the light coming from?”
Lesnie- “same place as the music”
It’s honestly so funny how *I* was so blinded by the fog of love on my first watch that I paid no mind to the very much ominous soundtrack that was telling me something bad was approaching 😭😭😭😭😭
