[Child of the 7th Age]

Bird,<P>No, it did not make sense, either in terms of the original book or even seen by itself in the movie. It was obviously put in to underline the portrayal of Frodo as victim.<P>I think, however, it's not unexpected given the way Frodo was shown in the Fellowship as already being paralyzed by fear, and with a constant look of terror in his face. PJ had pushed Frodo so far in that direction in the Fellowship that he had to come up with some device to underline to the viewer that the hobbit had gone even further over the edge. So I do not like it, but I'm not surprised.<P>I wonder what he'll do in RotK to show us that he's in even worse shape?<P>sharon
