Smeagol = Hobbit???

[Jessica Jade]

In the movie, when Bilbo sees the ring on Frodo's neck, and Frodo hides it, for a split second Bilbo's eyes and mouth turn into ones that look just like Gollum's. It freaked me out severely.

That never fails to scare me out of my wits--every single time i watch the movie. *shudders*

Pity is a thing not everyone can give, but Frodo has a kind heart and a determined soul. Gandalf is a great wizard with wisdom beyond any others, so Frodo chose wisely to consider his words.

On the other hand, for us who have freedom of choice, the book gives a lesson - never take irreversible actions (like killing even a monster) untill you really have to. You never know what awaits you in future. Even the monster can come out useful.
