I just need to say that the special effects after Theodens recovery from Sauraman is possibly one of the best special effects sequence I have ever seen, I have see Two Towers now, many many times. Yet everytime I watch that sequence I am amazed everytime, I feel kind of simple admitting that actually. It moves so quickly in a way, but the chance is so subtle that it seems natural. Everytime I look just a little closer, for him to from looking like he was a thousand years old to a man again.
Also, his boots. A small detail that I did notice, they are kind of made out of rabbit skins, and listening to Benard Hill talk about them he says something like at first that he was going to wear proper clothes, but he had them change to something like a house coat and fuzzy slippers, becuase he was in such a state that he would require alot of care and would need things easy to get off and on for his caretakers, after working in Geriatrics quite extensively, I was just like "Yes! Exactly!"
