why should he further go into Gollum avoiding the touch of the leaf wrappings? Besides, I don't think PJ went with Tolkien's concept of 'leaf wrappings',

In the book it says (as Sharku quoted above) :
"Frodo broke off a portion of a wafer and handed it to him on its leaf-wrapping"
where as in the sequence on the DVD, Frodo broke off a tiny bit and flung it (without leaf wrapper) in Gollum's direction, so he had to pick it up from the ground.
This seems perhaps a small change, but it annoys me because it shows such a different attitude! In the movie Frodo shows contempt and disgust of Gollum ("Don't touch me!") but Book- Frodo showed pity and the real wish to help Gollum:

"I'm sorry," said Frodo; "but I can't help you, I'm afraid. I think this food would do you good, if you would try. But perhaps you can't even try, not yet anyway."
