In the scene mourning Gandalf's fall, Legolas appears almost confused rather than devastated. This subtle acting choice makes sense because elves in Middle-earth are essentially immortal and had likely never confronted the death of another immortal being like Gandalf. Orlando Bloom's understated reaction captures an immortal who simply hasn't developed the emotional framework for this kind of grief.
