“Tollers,” Lewis said to Tolkien, “there is too little of what we really like in stories. It's not only sentimental value (assuming they were for/worn by Legolas' mother) - it's an insult to have one's royal emblems withheld from him by dwarves and essentially held for ransom. If that was the line of thinking, no wonder Thranduil wants them back enough to go to war for them. Thinking more about the "stones of Lasgalen", it occurs to me that since Lasgalen means "greenleaves", and Legolas is referred to as Legolas Greenleaf, the writers may have decided that Lasgalen is essentially the name of Thranduil's royal house, in other words his family name - making the necklace possibly part of the "crown jewels", for lack of a better term. Hehe he could want female jewels for himselfXDĬheck out Silverlode's thoughts on the gems Right now, and after only one viewing of this great film,I am starving for this Extended Edition (This post was edited by LoremIpsum on Dec 19 2014, 2:19pm) However that was just my brain connecting the dots my own way when watching, people could have different interpretations. he tells Tauriel - 'you know what real love is? would you die for it" or something to that effects, I took it from it that Thranduil tried by failed to defend his wife we know Thranduil has a massive scar from DOS that he got facing fire serpents from the north we know from Legolas she went to Gundabad and never returned he never speaks of his wife because her loss pains him so much I haven't read any spoilers about Thranduil but in BOFA: Survivor to the battle for the fifth trailer The flagon with the dragon has the brew that is true You know, you can kind of forget what we were doing, if you get too wrapped up in that." I look at that as, in a sense, being very much like the Ring, and its effect on people. "The danger with any movie that does as well as this one does is that the amount of money it's making and the number of awards that it's got becomes almost more important than the movie itself in people's minds. That would have added a lot more resonance to the seemingly abrupt story point about his wife. :: All you have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to you ::Īnother victim of PJ's slicing and dicing. Thranduil designed the necklace for his wife and "in his mind it was the last thing he owned that reminded him of his dead wife". I got that impression as well but I was a bit supprized it wasn't made more obviously as I think it would have been an effective plot point reinforcing elements of the stories of all of the Mirkwood elf characters. I think it was the gems belonging to Thranduil´s dead wife.
