What about Samwise?

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

I think that Sean Astin portrayed Sam wonderfully. One of my favorite parts is his line about "dropping eaves". That made the audience love him right away.<BR>As for him not being tempted by the ring... One thing to look at is by that point Frodo had had the ring for many years, Sam had just taken it & become the bearer then. Had he beared it for as long as Frodo did he may have given in a little more. But, I also think that Sam had a truer heart and he could see the good or bad in people before others.<BR>I, too, cried at the part where Sam thought Frodo was dead. I was thinking, "Oh no! Poor Sam is left in Mordor all alone! Noooooo!!!!!" I had never cried at a book before then.
