My father is a fan of Tolkien but not a huge fan of movies. However, when Jackson's Lord of the Rings: Two Towers came out, he went to the movie with family members. Afterwards, he said,
"That movie was all about the horse!"
He was referring specifically to the scene where Shadowfax comes to Gandalf's call. Shadowfax arrives in slow motion. I don't honestly understand Jackson's choice here--except, okay, he is a beautiful horse.
I suspect that this is one place where the visual film maker takes over from the storyteller. If a photographer can get an animal to do what the animal is supposed to do...
The photographer doesn't waste that moment.
Shadowfax was played by Domero and Blanco.
