<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Why on earth would frodo tell sam that he was terrified of maggot, if sam didn't know him or had never been there?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>Who ever said Sam didn't know him? It certainly would be normal farmer behaviour for him to bring his goods to populated centers (like Hobbiton) to sell them. Sam could have met Maggot on any number of occassions. Why would Frodo talk to Sam about him? Because they are passing through a field where Frodo spent his youth and it would be a natural thing to talk about.<P>I'm not saying there isn't mistakes in the film. Just that this isn't one of them.<P>Here's some mistakes.<P>* How in earth does Gandalf expect to ride to Isengard and back to Bree in the same amount of time as it would take Sam and Frodo to walk from Hobbiton to Bree?<P>* When Frodo asks Butterbur about the stranger in the corner at the Prancing Pony, Pippin can clearly be seen sitting opposite to Frodo even though he has left to get himself a pint at the bar.<P>* Boromir's arm alternates from being on Aragorn's shoulder and off again during his death scene as the cuts go from him to Aragorn.<P>* Pippin has his hands bound when the Rohirrim attack but they are unbound when he is almost trampled by the horse. After that shot they are bound again.<P>* Orthanc is not "north-east" at any stretch along the road from Amon Hen.<P>Mistakes happen. I have little problem with them, especially in movies a complex as these.<P>H.C.
