See a resemblance? Both men, who have become only shadows due to their lust for power. Both believe they cannot be defeated, either by man born of woman, or man, and end up being proved wrong. Yep, Peter Jackson brilliantly cites Orson Welles's Macbeth with his Nazgul King, especially in the scene where Eowyn kills the Nazgul. Once again--can we say BRILLIANT? This is why Shakespeare and Film with Dr. Siegfried is the best class ever. Apparently there are a lot more Shakespeare/Shakespeare film citations/allusions in the LotR trilogy. Makes me want to watch the extended versions with Jen before I leave for the mission. Now if only I had the time . . .

I think that Orson Welles looks more like the Statue of Liberty than the Nazgul King...
