*TTT - Frodo (Elijah Wood)* - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Hi, everyone! I suppose I must air a few beefs with movie Frodo as well...I really missed the "you shall have neither me nor the Ring!" exclamation of Frodo's as he is crossing the Ford of Bruinen; sadly replaced by sword brandishing Arwen and weak, feverish, unaware Frodo safe in her arms. That took all the power of resistance in last extremity that was one of my favorite Frodo characteristics away from him!On the other hand, I like how he kicks Boromir around at Amon Hen and eludes him in a more physical way than the way he avoids him, putting a rock between him and Boromir in the book. It seems to point up to Boromir that the Ringbearer is more than just an ineffectual child. I think it did more for Boromir, really. I really gave Boromir a longer look and much more consideration after Sean Bean's portrayal of him...ah, but this is an Elijah Wood thread, isn't it? Sorry!It has been so long since I have seen TTT, that I will lay off Elijah's scenery chewing episodes and the problem of Frodo and Faramir for now!Cheers! Lyta
