Haven't had a chance to see or get 'earthsea..." yet, but got the book from the local library so I'll read that first. Get the background at least... From what I've been reading, that helps to understand the movie better. I know that books are usually a bit diff from what in on the screen, but thats understandable sometimes...
About Arren's true name... I think that it wasn't that his true name didn't matter- I think that he finally gained power over himself, so yeah. And draw the sword for life!!!
Also, do Arren and Therru even KNOW each other in the books>? I've just started reading the fourth one, and it doesn't really have much to do with Arren, and he's a grown man and Therru is a child... Lost, so lost...

apparently they only meet each other once or twice or something.. i havent read the series myself but if you look back over this thread then you should find it. The entire movie is made up of different random elements and settings from the novels without much being the same in the plot and character aspects i think.
