Wood's best acting comes when he is on the ship in the Grey Havens. He turns round and the look of Joy on his face is beautiful. The only other time we see an identical look on his face is at the very begining of the film when he first hears Gandalf. I'm sure the comparison was meant by Jackson. (The looks are both more joyful than even his look when he's in bed after he's been rescued by Gandalf). <P>It's like a couple of bookends to the film. <P>It's heartbreaking looking at Frodo's face at the begining of the film when you know what he has to go through, but the smile at the end of rotk now helps.<P>It's just sad that Sam will not follow the Movie Frodo into the west, as he was not a Ring Bearer in the film.
