So many views on Elwood
After “discovering” Elijah Wood last year, I’ve been reading up on him. I’ve read reviews from professional critics and comments from ordinary viewers on IMDb, film forums, twitter, etc. And I'm gradually beginning to understand why Elijah is sometimes underrated as an actor. He just doesn’t fit in with people’s preconceived ideas. I’m sure all long-term fans know this already but it is new to me. It’s amazing how many different forms of prejudice exist about Elijah. At first, I wanted to make a serious LJ post about this. But once I started to include pictures, the post became more light-hearted. In fact, most of the weird opinions people have about Elijah don't deserve serious discussion. So, I decided to make a list of them. Trying to find suitable pictures to illustrate each point was great fun. Finally, I went through my files to find relevant quotes, either supporting or contradicting the statement. Selecting the best quotes from the hundreds I have on file was quite a challenge. Although some of the items on my list were added merely for fun, I am quite serious about others (guess which ones).
Pictures are from Google searches, http://always.ejwsites.net, http://elijah-finds.livejournal.com (Karin and Patrick) and http://www.frodolivesin.us . (Thanks to all!). Twitter comments are all from the last few weeks.
Let me start with the following quote from Twitter. My thoughts, EXACTLY.
