What I meant re mistakes were PLOT errors, not silly mistakes (ie the pippin/merry one<BR>mentioned above).<P>Although the 'north east' was ridiculous,and Theoden's "300 Leagues from here" line, I believe, should have been 100 leagues or 300 miles maybe.<P>But yes, all of what you guys say above could be the reason for Sam 'knowing'. <BR>It's just that we are trying to explain away things that didn't happen in the book, <BR>but happened in the film, because they changed the plot!<P>My main bone of contention in these films is giving different characters the actions<BR>other characters did.<P>Funnily enough three of these changes happened in a couple of minutes by the wall<BR>of Moria. <BR>Frodo guesses the riddle on the door of Moria instead of Gandalf. <BR>Pippin throws the stone into the lake when it should have been Boromir. <BR>Legolas, Aragorn and Boromir save Frodo from the Watcher when it should have been Sam!<P>Again, you all will probably have some good reasons as to why these things happened in<BR>the film, but to me THIS IS NOT THE POINT. Why make excuses or try to think things up as to why these things happened in the film, when they did not happen in the book?<P>I just have to admit that Jackson has changed lots of the story but has still managed to make great films........
