Cinematic Frodo: Victim of Downsizing? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Strangely enough, Child, I found the image in their archives here: Costume Contest Winner Frodo and now that I look at it about a year later, it isn't just as I remember it (I saw it a year ago or so), or else my image of book-Frodo has changed again! But it is a good Frodo! (Strange how that happens!) I think I must be one of those who does not keep a single image of a character in her head but modifies it to suit new information and time...for instance, even when I can't help but see Elijah in the place of Frodo when I am re-reading LOTR, I often add about 10 years to his face in my mind, especially at the scene where Sam is regarding him as "old and beautiful" as he sleeps (think it was on the Stairs of Cirith Ungol).

Cheers!
