Servent of the Secret Fire

gandalf balrog2 resizedArt for an online customer.  Let’s get nerdy here for a minute:  Do you think that changing Gandalf’s famous line from “You cannot pass” to “You shall not pass” altered the overall feel of the scene?  I do.

In the book, Gandalf is basically just stating a fact:  I’m more powerful than you.  You will not be able to get past me.  Movie Gandalf’s line sounds more like a challenge; along the lines of, “bring it, bi-atch.”

I like the former better.
