Hmmm. Boro88, are you suggesting that Jackson has issues with his own father, that he transcribes into his art by bringing this father/child theme into prominence in the movies? Does Jackson focus on it more than Tolkien? Is Frodo's problem that he lost his parents and never had close bonds to help him connect with other kids in The Shire? I'm not sure we see that in the movies.

What about that scene with Sam and his children, the glimpse of all the kids and Rosie and a nice rose-covered barrow?
