when i read the books for the first time last year i was so surprised to find out this scene wasn't in it! frodo and sam's trust in each other never wavers once and frodo is actually suspicious of gollum's ulterior motive from the start. very interesting that they changed that for the film! i personally prefer the book version slightly i think bc it just pains me so much to see frodo and sam apart, but i do understand why they added this conflict for the movie. very cool video, thank you!
yea i've heard about the difference between book and film, i havent read the book personally, but it feels like Frodo should trust Sam more (although you could say IT'S THE RING) but yea it was absolutely heart breaking to see frodo and sam apart :'( glad you enjoyed the video!
Good scene and great video. My difficult scene is in Fellowship when Boromir and Aragorn are talking about Minas Tirith. You see under Boromir’s shell for a brief moment and it’s heartbreaking, knowing what’s coming
"Have some faith in your own people! Yes there is weakness, there is frailty, but there's courage also! and honour to be found in men!" You are refering to this scene right? It is so easy to quickly judge Boromir as evil, or power hungry, but it's scenes like this that really makes him a three dimensional character, like you said, it reveals the Boromir under the shell, he is proud to be the race of men.
Even after all those years, I still can't watch any of the scenes with Gollum in them. It's just too... much negative emotions for me? Haha, idk. For the scene that I love, I guess those are the ones with Aragorn. Is just so humble and still, calm. Something is really reassuring when he is around. I should read some more tolkiens books to learn about his past, it's surely interesting!
I can relate 100%, there's a sense of peacefulness with aragorn isnt there, and with gollum, i think the scenes i really like are the ones he talks to himself and the camera angle switches between gollum and smeagol. but yes i know what you mean by how there's just an unsettling sense of sly and evilness around gollum.
I would argue that the joker (i assume you mean from the dark knight), is not sympathetic. he had a motivation that we understand, but i think he made a brilliant villain more so because of how he was a foil to batman,

This scene made the most triumphant scene “...but I can carry you!” even better.
Absolutely, it hurts my heart when Frodo blamed Sam, we all know Frodo wouldn't have gotten the end without Sam :'(
Good scene and great video.

What's your favourite scene from Lord of the Rings?
The hardest scene to watch for me is the Battle of Helm's Deep. Anyone who has some basic knowledge of medieval siege warfare will know what I mean.
i dont know too much about medieval siege haha enlighten me!

how to make a good antagonist ? those who actually gain sympathy throughout the movies. like alfie solomon, joker.
