Helen, I'm with Child on this. Good luck, but I can't see Jackson going for it. He, & the writers clearly have their own understanding of the characters. At the same time what you propose, as far as I'm concerned is necessary. There is something missing at the end of the movie - which I did like (still dislike Towers though!). There should be something significant at the end. Frodo should express something, do/say something which shows us what he has become. In the movie he just seems to 'fade' into the background - which is right in worldly terms, but we see nothing of his spiritual growth.
