It's easy to focus on Sam, because he was such a great character and friend, but this scene is a great example of how brave Frodo was. He was fully ready to go to Mordor alone because he knew it needed to be done. The combination of Frodo's bravery and Sam's friendship here is what makes it one of the best scenes in the series imo
Also the fact that Sam has always been an obedient servant up till now. He's always done what he is told to do. But here, he makes his own choice for maybe the first time in his whole life...and it's a choice that defies Frodo's wishes. The whole "master-servant" dynamic goes out the window as Sam accompanies Frodo by choice and not coercion.
I finally realized this during my 20th time watching the movie. This is the one moment where book Frodo's bravery is rightly reflected. That moment he decisively jumps into the boat, gives me chills.
Yeah I think it's often overlooked, but it really needs to be said just how brave Frodo is for daring to go into Mordor ALL BY HIMSELF. He's been stabbed twice already by now so imagine the fear and PTSD he already must have.
“I’m going to Mordor alone.” “Of course you are and I’m coming with you!” That exchange really verbalizes how Frodo and Sam are basically two halves of one whole. They’re hardly separate individuals anymore; they’re one being.
That’s why it hurt so badly seeing them leave each other at the grey havens…it was for frodos good…but it hurt both of them having to say goodbye…thank goodness frodo and Sam met again once Sam to sail to the grey havens later on in his life
@@SuperPrestogamer it needed to happen for both their sakes. Sam had to live out his own life too, just like Gandalf mentioned. those we care about remain in our hearts, even after we are separated. Sam lived out a full and content life with Rosie, then reunited with Frodo at the end of his days. And Frodo got to recover from his trauma carrying the ring. I'm sure they had many stories to tell one another.
I love the evolution of their friendship. At the beginning, when they are lost in the cornfield, Sam tells Frodo about his promise to Gandalf, just before he has to protect him from Merry and Pippin, but there is not as much conviction in his words at the moment. He doesn't realize what they mean yet. They are still safe in the Shire and no real danger has befallen them yet. We hear mention of this promise again, when the Hobbits are by the river and Sam says "you are not eating or sleeping...let me help you. I promised Gandalf that I would" and Frodo says, You CAN'T help me, Sam...not this time. Frodo has now felt the dark power of the Ring, and he wants to protect Sam from it, by bearing this burden alone. We see it one more time at the very end, when Sam charges out into the river and risks drowning to follow his master. Much like with the Ring for the final time, when Frodo willingly closes his hand over it, we see a moment of Sam hanging in the water waiting....and then Frodo's hand coming down and pulling him up, and this time, that promise from Sam is heartfelt and sincere and accepted by Frodo and he allows Sam to come with him on his journey and they share a hug. I thought that was beautiful symmetry.
These movies are literally the only ones that never fail to make me cry at least a little. I feel like this scene is one of the most perfect examples of why that is. The acting, the music, it's all so darn good
Love all 3 but Fellowship is easily my favorite and this scene is a big reason why. My heart goes out to all the men in the world who never got to experience having a close friend.

LOTR is one of the most powerful displays of how much music can impact media. The cinematography itself is a masterpiece, but the score just sends shivers down my spine no matter how many times I hear it
Still crying after 23 yrs. Ugh. I remember my grandpa saw this before he passed. He didnt speak English and I didn’t know if he truly read and understood all of the subtitles but after watching, he admitted that it was the best film he ever saw. He said (in Spanish) that in his 87 years, he’d never seen a movie like it -covering power, greed, war, hate, love, family, friendship, courage, and humility. I almost cried hearing this as a teen who loved cinema. I’m glad I have that memory 🥹
Lord of the Rings changed my childhood. When I watched fellowship of the ring with my dad. We absolutely loved it. The filming was so breathtaking. Tolkien is one of the greatest book authors in history . Fellowship of the ring is my favorite movie and I love the book .
It's so understated how much courage it took for Frodo to get on that boat. He was set on doing the entire journey into darkness completely by himself. Obviously Sam is one of the best characters in the whole story but damn, Frodo deserves a little more credit than he receives. That decision at the beginning of the scene is so incredibly admirable.
hearttouching scene. What pure, loyal friendship can do is amazing. We lack it so much that to see something like becomes something extremely beautiful and touching
After all the talk and displays of valor and duty, it's in this scene that we see the selfless dedication and love that the trilogy is about. THIS is the fellowship of the ring. Sam cannot let Frodo go on this dangerous and surely fatal journey alone, and he must be at his friend's side, even if it costs him his life. The music, the performances, the camera angles are all exploding with emotion. When I first saw this in the theater, it was this scene that made me realize how special this movie was. I was shocked at its emotional power.
One of my favorite scenes from the trilogy. So beautiful. I especially connect with Frodo when he hears Gandalf's wise words. Those words give me so much clarity in life. :)
Samwise Gamgee will forever be the best character in the fictional world we should aspire too. His character is that of we should always aspire to be. His stout heart, his character and his bravery is unmatched ❤️
This isn’t love. It’s something greater, more powerful. It’s called responsibility, standing on your word , standing on your promise. If you said you was going to do it. You do it. Regardless. Love or not. Your word is your bound.
I think you missed the point here. The scene isn't really about Sam's promise to Gandalf at all. Sean Astin's absolutely stunning performance conveys all the rich layers of what's happening ... Sam really made a promise to HIMSELF to follow Frodo anywhere, because he loves him so much and is afraid to lose him. The way he says "I don't mean to..." this is personal for Sam. Even if he hadn't given his word to Gandalf, he'd still follow Frodo. And anyone who believes otherwise doesn't know Sam Gamgee. This is made even clearer in the book, where instead of it being a promise to Gandalf, the Elves just give Sam some friendly advice long before they even know they're going to Mordor; they're like "you'd better not leave him." But Sam has already decided this, and declares of his own free will, "I never mean to. I'm going with him, if he climbs to the moon!" Sam's devotion to Frodo is about loyalty and affection, not about him just doing what somebody told him to do. That, to me, is what gives this scene such power. Sam has been an obedient servant till now, but here for the first time in his entire life, he makes his own choice that defies even Frodo's own wishes.

The beauty of these films and actors i can't put unto words im happy with relief that I found these films on a whim and can't believe all that I've missed.
The symbolism in the movies and story is so moving. The final scene into the end credits of the fellowship of the ring might be my favorite thing about the trilogy. The fact that there is so much more to travel and go through but Sam wants to be with his friend so that he is not alone is so rich and beautiful
No one ever talks about how in the beginning, its frodo pulling sam out of the water, and in the end, its sam pulling frodo out of the volcano in the same way
"I made a promise Mr. Frodo, a promise! 'dont you leave him Samwise Gamgee' and I don't mean to.. I don't mean to." I remember crying in the theater during this scene. Over two decades later, it still chokes me up.
Frodo's selflessness, Sam's loyalty, Bilbo's pity, Gandalf's wisdom, and their combined courage are what destroyed the Ring of evil. What a beautiful story.

@@cesarulises1711 True, but Peter Jackson excelled at bringing it to life. There were so many amazing visuals in his LOTR films. He chose the actors and they show extraordinary insight into their characters, especially Ian McKellan as Gandalf, Viggo Mortenson as Aragorn, and Sean Astin as Sam. However, almost all of the major and minor characters were terrific. Jackson was also extremely meticulous and strove for authenticity. It shows in every scene. I think he fully deserves credit for this masterpiece of a film.
When I was going through a rough time with my depression and anxiety, I tried ending my relationship with my late fiancé because I didn’t want him to see me suffering anymore. He repeated Sam’s words to me “I made a promise. A promise. Don’t you leave her…and I don’t mean to. I don’t mean to.” We stayed together and had a few more rough patches but many more happy moments until his death in a car accident 13 years ago. I’m glad he didn’t leave me in that black moment.
This is the scene that hits hardest for me. It’s impossible for me to make it through this scene without losing it. I saw this in the theater at age 9 and it’s just as amazing and heartbreaking a film now as it was then.
1:36 - 2:02 One of the best cinematic shots in the entire trilogy. Truly spiritual and emotional. It makes us all understand how pure hearted the hobbits are and what friendship means to them.
There is literally no film that makes me bawl my eyes out more than Fellowship. I can think of countless moments that just annihilate me emotionally in the seocnd half of the film alone. Two Towers and Return of The King definitely have these amazing moments, but the heart and companionship found in fellowship is just so good.
"The Fellowship Of The Ring" has one of the best and most emotional endings for a movie. "The Empire Strikes Back" , "Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior" (and a few others perhaps) are around there. Nevermind the movie's masterful and unforgettable opening. PS Howard Shore's score is just beautiful and compliments the ending beautifully.
Frodo's relationship with Gandalf is often the highlight. They seem the closest. But this scene really shows just how loyal and loving Sam was to Gandalf as well. How even in death Sam would NEVER break a promise.
This scene always brings tears to my eyes. Sam has always been my favorite character of LOTR, the world be better if there more Sam in it, I for instance see myself in him.
This is one of the greatest scenes in all of filmography. Frodos acceptance of the fellowship breaking apart, he knows he has to go to Modor alone due to the One Rings power to corrupt the will of everyone around it. Elijah Woods acting is superb, the music que is exceptional, Gandalfs motivating words were the reminder to keep moving forward with what time Frodo has left, and then the reminder that he doesn't have to do this alone thanks to Samwise Gamgee. The perfect scene.
Very intense scene. To me, it seemed like Frodo took a couple seconds too long to rescue Sam, but got himself together to rescue him and then rescued him and heard that promise he made and then they hug and get composed before moving on.
Started watching this movie with my nephew and son.. As soon as Sam began to sink and became lifeless they both started yelling "Nooooo!" they thought Sam was going to die lol
The parallel between Sam grasping Frodo’s rescuing arm here and later, at the end of all things, Frodo grasping Sam’s rescuing arm. I like to imagine in that latter scene that Frodo finally reached up and took Sam’s help because of what happened here in this scene, and many other reasons too.
Frodo runs bc the ring tells him to, same as the temptation of boromir or Aragorn. Sam is the only one - drowning himself in the effort- who doesn’t look at the ring at all in this sequence.
You'd think someone would attempt to learn how to swim rather than keeping perfectly still while drowning. Sam actually started out swimming until Frodo informed him that he couldn't. You'd think someone would attempt to learn how to swim rather than keeping perfectly still while drowning. Sam actually started out swimming, and then just stopped.
It's funny that, if Sam hadn't run into the water there and convinced Frodo to let him come along, Middle Earth would have been doomed. Frodo would have died 5x over if he tried to make it to Mordor alone, whether from Gollum, Shelob, the Dead Marshes, the Orcs, or any other number of threats. Sam saved Middle Earth with this small choice here.
@@amon__7187Why do so many people undermine Frodo? No one in Middle-Earth would’ve been able to destroy the ring. Tolkien himself said it. The fact that Frodo was the only one who was strong enough to withstand the ring’s power says a lot about his character. The ring’s influence was too much for him at that point, and the mercy he showed Gollum is what helped defeat evil.
Now that you mention it, that does seem like something hobbits would enjoy. What I find odd is that it takes so long for Frodo to turn the boat around. I would have been rowing back the second Sam started floundering, but he wastes time yelling and going to the end of the boat. He must be a fast rower!
Everyone says they need a Sam in their lives, but maybe we should all aspire to be Sams for our friends.

I like the parallels of Sam watching Frodo go onto the boat and refusing to let him go, in comparison to the end of the third film.
Who's chopping onions around here?
I still get choked up when this scene plays
Love this scenes
Frodo runs bc the ring tells him to, same as the temptation of boromir or Aragorn. Sam is the only one - drowning himself in the effort- who doesn’t look at the ring at all in this sequence.
I love this scene, but did anyone notice how there was another boat there Sam could've used to follow Frodo instead of risk drowning? 😅
This scene is in every one of our lives. Standing looking out into the horizon questioning ourselves what choice should we make?
I love these movies ❤ :)

This is my favourite scene in the trilogy.
Frodo, Mr fantastic's power
The first time I saw this scene I thought it was a little cheesy, now I'm 44 years old and just wish I had a friend like this.
Everyone is a gangster until this scene plays
I love the trilogy but, damn if it’s not “‘Almost Dying’ the movie”
This is true love ❤
You'd think someone would attempt to learn how to swim rather than keeping perfectly still while drowning. Sam actually started out swimming until Frodo informed him that he couldn't.

😂😂😂😂😂 I love this scene and cry everytime, but you just made me laugh out loud
Buddy looked like he sank mad deep lmao
Too bad Peter Jackson doesn't direct the star wars sequels
They'd fire him cause he actually knows storytelling.
This is a very powerful scene. Unreal film

Thanks to Jujutsu Kaizen, I came here to watch this random scene.
"Anatao Mamoru!!"
It's funny that, if Sam hadn't run into the water there and convinced Frodo to let him come along, Middle Earth would have been doomed. Frodo would have died 5x over if he tried to make it to Mordor alone, whether from Gollum, Shelob, the Dead Marshes, the Orcs, or any other number of threats. Sam saved Middle Earth with this small choice here.
Imagine if sam died right there 😂

What’s that sound at 2:11 after they are on the boat??

Frodo is the true equivalent of a Chad.
Until he fails right at the finish line
@@amon__7187sometimes we all need a little outside push..
@@amon__7187 Frodo resisted the ring more than anyone tested by it yet, and certainly no one else could have taken it all the way there
@@amon__7187Why do so many people undermine Frodo? No one in Middle-Earth would’ve been able to destroy the ring. Tolkien himself said it. The fact that Frodo was the only one who was strong enough to withstand the ring’s power says a lot about his character. The ring’s influence was too much for him at that point, and the mercy he showed Gollum is what helped defeat evil.

dude how long was frodo's arm?
Great scene but did anyone else find it odd Sam can't swim? Enjoying a cool dip in a nice river seems like the kind of thing a Hobbit would enjoy.
Now that you mention it, that does seem like something hobbits would enjoy. What I find odd is that it takes so long for Frodo to turn the boat around. I would have been rowing back the second Sam started floundering, but he wastes time yelling and going to the end of the boat. He must be a fast rower!
the 1 downvote is from sauron
the journeu begins for destroy the one ring.
Alright I’ll watch the trilogy again
They sound like a great romantic couple
