Fili’s last scene
Not an easy day for a scene which is not very easy to shoot.
In spite of trying to make light-hearted comments and dead faces at request, Dean has indeed a hint of melancholia in his usually bright blue eyes.
Moreover he was caught half way through Fili’s complex make-up, with additional scars, real blond hair mingling with fake braids held by metal pins, long beard and shaved moustache.
Later on, the Company will say goodbye to their friends, and the actors will play it along the haunting music by Giacomo Puccini from his Madama Butterfly, the Coro a Bocca Chiusa (Humming Chorus), which will make everything even more emotional.
And then, Peter Hambleton...
Gloin, the father of a son almost the same age as Fili.
