Would he have forsaken them?

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

I'm not sure which film it was in, but I remember talking about it before on the Downs.

Some people were quite disappointed by this line because it is selfish of Frodo to say that. In the book Frodo grew to empathise with Gollum. In the film this empathy is shown; it's just that the effect is almost negated by the selfish line which you point out.

I do like the line and think that it is well-delivered. In another film with different characters I would have enjoyed it. However, it was inappropriate to make Frodo say it. But then movie-Frodo was pulled this way and that throughout the trilogy.
