Just spend my time to annalyzed the detail Robert Aramayo gave to us as the young version of lord Elrond. Cause I'm bored, and this post literally spend me like almost 4 hours! So if you didn't like it, comment, or reblog it. Melkor will haunts you! (Just kidding. It's not Melkor, but Saruman)

The first detail is when he hold something with his hands

Hugo's hands is so pale, long, and beautiful. (Okay I need to stop) and so do Robert's. And Hugo managed to hold anything, or touch anything so gracefully, wether is it a sword or a piece of old paper. And as you can see, Robert do the same with anything he touch. he will move his fingers slowly, but slightly stomp firmly as a statement

The little smirk/smiles

Just like Hugo did in The Hobbit, while he talked to Bilbo. He will stares directly to your eyes and then just pulled the corners of his lips, and gave the impression of a smirk or a little smile. Robert nailed that too!

The pose and the way he stand

Hugo Elrond stood tall, confident. he gives off a charismatic impression, and is also a gentle leader. Robert slightly imitated how Hugo posed, but he didn't overdo it. In here he still counts as a young Herald, and not a lord. This what I hates about Amazon's costume departement (sorry boys), he makes Elrond's clothes is to baggy, and gave him this kind of cloack, and it's bad for his body shape. And it don't give his body shape a statement like they do with Arondir or Gil Galad. While on the other side Peter Jackson nailed the costume. They literally highlight his tits body shape, especially his waist.

The serious side profile

This is why I think Robert is the perfect choice for Elrond. His facial features is really looks like Hugo's. They have the same line, same gaze, almost same lips. The different is Hugo's eyebrows is sharper than Robert's. but Robert's jawline stronger than Hugo's. Cause Hugo is Older in here, but if you checked his early work in the 80s the jawline is literally as strong as Robert's

The Sad confused gaze

Hugo Elrond gave us a full of emotion in his eyes, when Arwen confronts him and said she choose Luthien's path. Hugo just staress at her right in the eyes, and I don't know how this man did that. But you can see light tears in his eyes. He don't squished it, neither let it fall. But we know he is crying and confused in the inside. And once again, Robert nailed it, you can clearly sees in his eyes he's so confused but also sad when he though he must abandoned middle earth

Say what you want to say about Robert as Elrond, but he's perfect and he understand about the character he has to played. And he also said that when he was a kid he used to takes his mum sheets and dresses as Elrond. What a cute boy! And now he's the Elrond. He's not trying to replaced Hugo, and no one can't. But he's trying to connecting the younger character he played to Hugo. And the little detail he gave is incredible, you'll not gonna notice except you watched both of their version over and over. But that's the point. He wants is as subtle as possible to the audience.

Kudos to Robert Aramayo!
