Anyways I do belive that most countries are not in denial about social classes, so maybe it was left out to please the american and a few other nations viewers. . . I think I shall stay out of the actuall discution of this thread as I always hated Sam. . . he really annoys me. |

In the movies he was one of the best adaptions in the first movie, but by the time the third came out, they really missed their mark and turned him into a brutal, angry hobbit who was frustrated with the journey and with Frodo and took all his frustration out on Gollum. I think they should have kept the class difference and the hierarchy in the movies, especially with Sam. He calls him Mr. or Master Frodo mayby three times in the first movie, and then not at all in the others. Well, okay, more than three times, but most of the time, he just calls him Frodo. Whereas in the books...lol...maybe he calls him Frodo a couple times, but usually it's Mr. Frodo or just plain Master, which, in my (humble) opinion makes him so much a nicer, better character, because he is a servant and knows it and wants to be. Talk about a run on sentence. So, Is Sam Justly Done? Halfway so and halfway not. Certainly better than Gimli or Aragorn or Frodo, but not as well as Boromir and Eowyn.

I had fewer problems with Sam in the movies than I did other characters, but I thought they had him being too cruel to Gollum in the movies. That was my biggest complaint.

I actually liked Sam a lot in the movies. I didn't get any sense of fat and brainless. He was a bit heavy, but he was actually the closest to hobbit-shaped as Tolkien envisioned them, I think. He generally didn't come off as stupid as much as uneducated, and he had that intelligence of the heart and trueness of spirit that I loved so much in the book.
I do think that he's too violent to Gollum, though. Most everyone is, in the movies. ![]() ![]()
