Opinions on the changes to Sam and Frodos relationship.

[SamwiseGamgee]

Weird, but good, Eomer. I'm now going to shock you and say that I agree with you.<BR>Initially, after seeing the film I thought it was a nice wee addition which just gave more time to a theme in the book. I have had time to think, reflect on the text and see the movie since then and I must say I think the decision was a mistake on PJ's part.<BR>Gorwingel, it's largely due to what you already mentioned. Samwise Gamgee, turn round and leave Mr Frodo? I think not. and even to have Frodo tell Sam to go home is, I feel, too strong. The bond between Sam and Frodo on that front is too strong for that kind of comment, at least in the book it is, and I think we got to go canon for this one!
