<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> And I would appreciate PJ telling Elijah that just because Frodo is suffering, he doesn't have to have that "oh, this is sooo hard and I'm just about to cry"-face ALL the time. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>No kidding. That was really annoying.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> He was "depressed" in the book as well. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Depressed, but with a resolution for self-sacrifice that lends him great nobility and grace in the books. This is what movie-Frodo lacks so sorely. He looks like a little boy that took a wrong turn and ended up on the road to Mordor. He’s scared out of his wits and he has no idea what he’s doing half the time. I liked it very much when he finally cracked a smile at Sam’s stories. Thank God I haven’t heard anyone call them "gay" yet. PJ did a good job of representing their friendship and Sam's loyalty. I really missed the light that Sam saw in Frodo. Hopefully it'll be in RotK. (My, I've ended my last dozen posts with that expression .)
