Okay, the movie has been on my mind since I saw it and I think I have come up with a slight plothole. Okay you know at the beginning of the movie how Gandalf says to Aragorn "How do we know Frodo is alive?" Yet later in Minas Tirith after the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, when they're all talking Gandalf said something about "Frodo has moved beyond my sight..."So my question is: If Gandalf could "see" Frodo right up he and Sam entered Mordor, then why did he ask Aragorn "How do we know Frodo is alive?"
