Diamond Green has just left Hobbiton.
Sting

I think, because he was wearing his mithril shirt for some time, he wasn't aware of it, and when the cave troll stabbed him with that giant spear, his first thought was he couldn't possibly survive it. Thinking this, he fell uncounsious and woke up again when Sam shook him.<P>Oh, but wait a minute... This theory only makes sense in the normal version of the movie. Because in the extended version, Gandalf and Gimli have a conversation about the mithril vest Bilbo got from Thorin, not knowing that Frodo was wearing it. And then Frodo touches his chest for a moment, so he was very aware of the fact he was wearing it...<P>Maybe it was a little too dramatic, but hey, it is a movie after all! Or maybe, we would react the exact same way if we were stabbed by a cave troll...
