I agree with you there, Evisse the Blue. I did not really approve of the way Frodo abruptly toppled backwards and then magically caught the ring on his finger in the movie. I would have much preferred seeing Frodo leap and skip on the table, singing...<P>But...picture an American audience gawking at the incredibly British song and dance. I'm American too, and I have to say, although I would've enjoyed it, most of the people I know who hadn't read the books probably would've been baffled and skeptical. <P>To me, taking into consideration the way they did the movie thus far before Bree, having Frodo perform his song would have been out of place and out of the question.<P>But hey, to each his own.
