RETURN OF THE KING/only reply if youve seen the film

Do you mean Lady Galadriel?

There were 21 rings,
three rings were given to elven kings, not just the wisest. Lady Galadriel has one of these as does Elrond. I'm not sure if it is Gandalf who holds the third.

Frodo left the shire because he was a ring-bearer, like the others.

The evil eye is controlled by Sauron, who was once a wizard. (Not Saruman, the white guy in the first two films).

The eye is not evil, just the person that uses it is evil.

Who made the eye then 2776?

I think the films have done themselves justice, which is what counts. Peter jackson et al took on a mammoth task that most would have been too afraid to have a pop at, and have been enourmously succesful, with three films back to back. I have to say, they surpassed any expectations I had by a mile, and the same would be true for most. Even the Tolkienites kept quiet, which is saying something...

A lot of people don't seem to realise that the films are an interpretation, an adaptation of the books, not an exact replica for the big screen. Naturally there are differences, which in my opinion were almost always justified.

I'm not too sure I thinl it was the elves ages ago who gave it to Rowan or someone, but then got attacked and then the eyes got lost etc.

Its in teh book, but forgot most of it now...

Are you sure you're not confusing 'the eye' with the palanitir's? The palantir's are the crystal ball-esque things, that are used to communicate, one of which Merry picks up in Isengard. A long time before the setting of the film, several people owned them, including those in Aragorn's family line. Aragorn inherits one when he is crowned king.

'The eye' is just a representation of Saruman as such, considering he is only a spirit.

Tolkien would have helped us a lot if he hadn't picked such similar names as Sauron and Saruman.

Well I was confused at first but Then it might suggest a type of bond? between them?

I think (think) he did it to associate that sound with evil. Similarly he named 'heroic' characters Arwen, Eowyn, Eomer etc ...

I'm sure he could have thought of two disimilar evil names.
