The Significance of the Pumpkin - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I think I am probably getting way too much into symbolism here but did anyone notice that the hobbit with the pumpkin was Andy Serkis (Gollum), or at least I heard he was. If that is true you notice how he was petting the pumpkin like Gollum stroked the ring. I take that as a symbol of Frodo moving on from the ring and taking up a better life. Too deep? I can't help it for I have taken so many literary analizsis classes that I am starting to 'read' into movies like books.
