samwise gamgee

One of the things I really like in the book, in comparison to the films, is that Frodo and Sam regularly 'get physical'. They love each other so much and they hold hands often. I remember a scene where Sam is looking at Frodo sleeping and he then thinks about how fair Frodo's face is and how...

In book V of LotR, in "The Black Gate Opens", Mouth of Sauron shows to Gandalf and the others the mithril shirt of Frodo and the sword of Sam. I haven't read any further yet, I am starting book VI now. Does this mean that Sauron knew that there were Hobbits in his land? Then he must also have...

I have loved the books for years. I have accepted for the most part PJ's translation. HOWEVER, I am so ****** off with what he did with the Minas M/Cirith Ungol scene, where Frodo tells him to go home, and Smeagol assists through his actions.... Am i alone, why on Middle Earth did he do...

The scene added in for TTT where Gandalf says: Do not regret your decision to leave him, he must carry this task alone (or something like that) Then aragorn says: but he is not alone, sam went with him Then Gandalf says: Did he now? Duh! Where else would sam go? Gandalf knows he's...

I have a friend who saw the movie and thought that it was completely ridiculous that Sam could come back to save Frodo from Shelob in time. They said there was too great a distance from where Sam found the lembas bread to Shelob’s lair for him to travel. I didn’t pick this up at all, because I...

One of the things I loved about this film was the way that Samwise was held up as the hero. And rightly so. Two years ago I wasnt sure of Sean Astin's ability to play the role. But he made Sam grow, the way he did in the book. He brought to part the depth that was always there, but he let it...

It's works perfectly on the screen - Gollum is devious. He knows the Hobbits are weary and susceptible to suggestion in their dire state. Gollum knows Sam is suspicious. Gollum knows in order to get the ring, he has to get Frodo away from Sam. What better way to do this then by tricking Frodo...

I saw ROTK last night and I loved it, of course. It was a masterpiece. I am so happy PJ decided to end it just like the book, that was excellant. Sam stood out to me as being the bravest little hobbit. However, I don't like how PJ made Frodo distrust Sam and tell him to go home. This never...

how did Samwise the gamgee know about Boromir's death???

I think Sam would win because Sean Astin is so much bigger and Frodo dont seem violint. Who do you think?

I said it about his performance FOTR and I hoped that 2 years into the role, he could make something of it, but Sean Astin is incapable of playing Sam Gamgee. Anyone capable of detecting wooden acting can tell that. From his first scene I was cringing. That opening speech about Mordor was...

Sam and Gollum at Orodruin Yay! Im back everyone! Not that any of you care or anything...but...oh well. Anyway, I was wondering what would happen if Sam killed Gollum at Mt. Doom. Because in the book Gollum bites Frodos finger off and then falls in. But, if Sam had killed Gollum would like...

why is Sam the Gardner so hateful of sleeping in the Great Outdoors?? whats the use of that scene in the EE, how does that enhance the film of of Sam??

Frodo runs at Sam, sword drawn Sam- What are you doing?!(while running away) Frodo-You'll pay for trying to take my precious from me, Borimer! Sam-I'm not Borimer! Frodo-Don't try to fool me, Borimer! My friend Sam will back me up! You must die. Surrender or I'll send the tooth farry...

this has confused me. where was it that faramir took them?? orcs were attacking and the nazgul were there, was it supposed to the the attack on gondor from mordor??? that is a huge change from the book!! so i suppose PJ is going to cut that battle completely out of ROTK? what about the...

How much better would the quest have been if Turin was Frodo's companion instead of sam? Or What about if Turin replaced Aragorn, that would be awsome.

I've been thinking about Sam all day. I mean, why wasn't he so tempted by the ring? Where did he get his strength to go on until the end and help Frodo achieve success with his mission? I mean, I have seen the ring as everything that has to do with power and ambition and corruption that goes...

What is up, dudes? Having all kinds of fun? Oh, I hope so! Why not? Anyways, I was talking about this in some little debating bar we have in the Green Dragon section and since I did so well, I thought I'd share my crazy theory with everybody. Well, you saw the title. If the evil...

One thing that I did not like about TTT was Frodo "yelling" at Sam. I thought this was unecessary. I don't know why PJ would have added this, and what I have heard of his explanation didn't sound right to me. He said something like he could show the tension that might have built up between...

I still don't understand that
