How much Frodo grew... - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

One thing you have to realize is that it is easier in a book to show a character's growth because you can read their thoughts but with a movie you can't really do that.

So maybe you think Frodo grew too weak but I mean he just happens to have the most powerful object of ME around his neck! How would you feel to have such a powerful thing. If Frodo hadn't seemed so weak the audience might not have felt so powerfully about the evil of the ring. The audience might not have understood clearly enough that the ring has to be detroyed.

Besides as was mentioned earlier a movie can't be 100% like the book in everything.

I think that Frodo showed growth especially when he came home. I mean before he couldn't show much growth other than the growing hold that the ring had on him.
