i have to agree with that. book-frodo is definetly a complex chracter. much more complex as movie frodo.
what do we know about movie frodo?
he loves the shire, he wants to save it, he is tempted be the ring and he shows some compassion for gollum. we do not know much more about him. *repeating myself*
: he is they guy next door-type. the poor lad to whom happened horrible things and who was broken by this.
i think book-frodo has much more character. i always imagined him to be like one of my college professors. may be a little bit like tolkien.
to my mind book-frodo is much more intellectual than film frodo. he is a quiet and friendly person. he talks about his emotions less and rarely shows he is feeling. he is scared of being a burden.
