How much Frodo grew... - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

That part made me so angry. The entire part was all of the directors poetic licence. I understand directors want to make a film their own but not change it completly. There could have been so much more focus on Frodo and Sam's friendship if they hadn't added that stuff. That part in real life would have been a matter of if Frodo trusted Sam, not the fact that Gollum did not eat lembas. There is no way that part could have been considered growth for Frodo as Eomer said. If Tolkien could be mad at any part in any of those movies I think it would be that part of ROTK.
