Lord of Angmar has just left Hobbiton.
Sting

That one shot wherein Gollum looks up through the circle of the Ring, with that brilliant, subtly and silently exclamatory, agog expression on his face, was filmmaking perfection. The scene as a whole was beautifully orchestrated, but I did not particularly enjoy the way in which Gollum lost his balanced. It seemed too improbable that Gollum would be jumping at the edge of the cliff while Frodo was still a threat. In the book, this was overcome because it was more instantaneous and Frodo was not fighting back. However, as a whole the scene was incredible. Sam's lines about Rosie Cotton were, in my opinion, some of the most moving of the entire trilogy.
