HCIsland has just left Hobbiton.

I agree, I think the disintegration of Frodo will be far stronger than in the book. I guess the idea is to make it abundantly clear why Frodo has to leave Middle Earth. I'll have to wait to see how I react to it. To me Frodo should come across as being almost hollow. Like all the best parts of him were intricately interweaved with The Ring and when it went, so did he.<P>I heard somewhere a comparision (I think this came from Wood) to Saving Private Ryan. I hope this is in reference to Grey Havens, because I think that feel is right. That in war some people have to leave this earth. It is the responsibility of the rest of use to earn and appreciate what we have because of their sacrafice. That is why I think it is so important for Sam to go back to his family at the end.<P>H.C.<P>H.C.
