Frodo Sam faithful friend

Evidence of what real devotion looks like. I hope I can be that kind of friend.

[@alive4metal731]

This whole sequence is my favorite from the entire trilogy. To lines here just hit home hard, 1) "Of course you are... and I'm coming with you!", and 2) "I made a promise Mr. Frodo.. a promise"... ugh. How can someone not possibly love Sam.

[@spencerglennboyd9803]

How does this scene always make me cry 🥺

[@cynthiaerickson3646]

I have said it 100x,sean Austin should of won an Oscar for his role as Sam..

[@12classics39]

His delivery of “AND I’M COMING WITH YOU” is full of such passion and desperation…ahhh I love it.

[@yevonsama]

this scene in film totally ruined Frodo character.

[@Strawberryfergii]

Can I ask why?, I feel like they did changed (and kinda ruined) him a lot in the film, but why in this scene?

[@yevonsama]

@@Strawberryfergii in the novel, this scene is very very very important. Frodo is chased by Boromir. Wearing the ring, he can see what Sauron seeing. He sees the world map of Middle Earth, and the sight of Sauron upon all of them. The power of Sauron now is too strong, and nowhere to hide anymore. He thinks about Boromir, seeing what will happen if he keeps going with everyone. The Ring will corrupt them, one by one, and everyone will kill each other. He now realizes that he can't flee, and he can't depend on anyone but still keep them alive from the Ring. So, he finally decides that he is the only one who should go, to protect this world, to protect everyone from his Ring. He decided, and knows that he will never alive to return. And remember, Frodo is hit by Nazgul's sword. They can control his mind every time they are somewhere near him. ------------- In movie, it doesn't let him say what he is thinking. It keeps letting people think that Frodo is corrupted and only cares about if anyone steals the Ring from him.

[@Strawberryfergii]

@@yevonsama oh, I get it now, and I totally agree, like, instead of showing how much the ring was affecting Frodo, they made him look like a total creepy, getting obsessed with the ring, and that’s sad, because then Frodo doesn’t get the credit he deserved, specially in the second movie

[@yevonsama]

@@Strawberryfergii Frodo is a very good faith character who is difficult to explain if we ignore what is he thinking. The most important battle of LOTR isn't Helm's Deep or Minas Tirith, but the battle inside Frodo, how long he can resist both the Ring and the Nazgul’s wound. One more important point: In the novel, Frodo actually wears the Ring for nearly 20 years, while it can corrupt someone like Boromir just by he sees it for one time. Unfortunately, people maybe don’t have an interest in the good faith characters. They love the epic characters who can hold the sword and fight, or someone evil but cool. I meet a “victim” similar to Frodo, she is Sakura in FSN. Imagine a Frodo who trying to fight against The Ring, while everyone among her just wants her to die for their sake. And more terrible, even she feels guilty about herself, and keep shaming what is she doing. That is why, everyone will just see she is a useless and selfish character, who keeps crying for the rest of the story. Then, suddenly you realize that “ if she can kill everyone among her just by a thought. Why does everyone still stay safe when they are shaming and living with her for 3 days?”. That is when I realize that, everytime when people shamed and try to kill her, she tried to cry instead of hating them, to prevent the Devil inside her from killing them." Among these good faith characters, I think Snape of Harry Potter is the only one who is lucky. While always portraying him as the evil character, Rowling finally revealed clearly about himself, so the reader will not misunderstand him anymore.

[@yevonsama]

@@Strawberryfergii by the way. I report to you one more bad news: In movie 2, you see the Helm Deep battle cost almost of the movie. But actually, in the novel, the battle just happens for...13 pages. - - Almost of 2nd novel is written about Frodo.

[@ogbee9690]

Frodo is being kind of a jerk during this part in the book, at least for a second. I was disappointed and honestly liked Jackson’s take more when it came to this part

[@John-sr2hr]

It's the music

[@AverageCommentor]

@@ogbee9690 . I definitely prefer the book version, but more due to the fact that Frodo had just been attacked by Boromir, and immediately resolved to go to Mordor alone. He didn't trust anyone else. Also, the book was more realistic, having Frodo being unable to pull Sam up out of the water, and so having to go back to shore to get him out of the water if I remember correctly.

[@12classics39]

@@ogbee9690 He's not being a jerk in the book! He's just decided to go to Mordor by himself for the sole purpose of keeping his friends out of danger, and then sees Sam almost die trying to stop him. His line "of all the nuisances, you're the worst!" isn't genuine cruelty; it's more like Jack's line in Titanic, "you're so stupid!" Both are reactions from a guy terrified that someone he loves is putting themselves in life-threatening danger by insisting on staying with him.

[@ogbee9690]

@@12classics39 that’s very nuanced and not everyone will get that.

[@ParleyMedia603]

This is the best moment out of all three movies. Rivaled only by "I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you".

[@sasikumarv.k5136]

Sam was so devoted to Frodo. it is amply shown in this scene of 'The Fellowship of the Ring'

[@12classics39]

The way Frodo screams "SAM!" at 0:46 gives me chills every time. You can feel in his face and voice how he's remembering his parents' deaths and is horrified that he might be about to lose another person he loves in the same way. OMG, Elijah Wood was born for this role.

[@gamertechkid1490]

Jesus christ this scene..... Sam's relentless loyalty. To willing walk into water and almost die, to never let Frodo go alone.

[@ryanodonovan9497]

Except for one thing - why didn't he just chase Frodo in the other boat that was RIGHT NEAR HIM? Seems like a rather unnecessary risk he took.

[@thenewapelles6448]

@@ryanodonovan9497 I always viewed it as an act of loyalty from Sam. He was showing he was willing to die for Frodo.

[@ryanodonovan9497]

@@thenewapelles6448 I know that. I just think it would’ve come off better if there wasn’t a blatantly easier way for him to chase Frodo without risking his life. Why not have Frodo set the other boat adrift or something before crossing the river in his?

Let’s appreciate that they made an extra large boat and oar for this scene to make it look like Elijah was small.

Honestly, I don't think Sean Astin got enough credit for his performance in all three films. It really is one of the standout performances and probably his career-best. He's perfect in it.
