Visual reference in movie version of RotK

Hey, everyone.

Remember what the throne room of Gondor looked like in the film? I'm struck by its similarity to the Palace Chapel / throne room of Charlemagne in Aachen.

If Peter Jackson is deliberately evoking Charlemagne here, why? How does his interpretation arise from the text, and do you agree with it?

See you all online this afternoon!
