Quite simple, really: You realize that, at the end of it all, after all the journeys and all the conflicts and all the danger, when it came down to it, when it was almost over...you failed it. Everyone put their faith in you, and you betrayed them.

If there'd been no Gollum, et al, you, personally, would've been responsible for the enslavement of all to Sauron.

That's got to be a lot of guilt, there.

I also always felt that life was to small for Frodo now. He's been on this grand journey, and he said he wanted to go home, but back there, he's just tired and small. He wanted to go with others that have been where he has and done what he did. All his hobbit friends were able to move on, he wasn't. So he left with the elves for one final adventure.

I know the Voice of Saruman scene will be there, as they show part of it in TTT Ext Ed. DVD extras. When Jackson was talking about where to stop TTT and start ROTK, he said that ROTK would start with the return to Isengard after the Ents had destroyed it....the footage they show is of the Fellowship talking to Saruman....a scene we never saw in the theatrical release of ROTK

Hey I have a ?...I've seen the movie 4 times now (pathetic...I know!) And I noticed this time when Aragorn is looking down into that ravine like thing, before going down the paths of the dead, he sees one of the ghosts!? It's the first time that he looks down there during the day, and the next time that he glances back, its gone. I never saw that the first 3 times, and this time I finally did, but the person that went with me missed it. I was just wondering if anyone else saw it besides me?

I saw it both times I watched the film.

I thought I saw it, I guess this confirms it, only saw it the second time I watched the film.

what?
do you mean to tell me that NZ isn´t part of Australia?
thats almost as hokey as Jackson completely omitting the Scouring of the Shire.

seriously, i think this film was magnificent (i finally saw it this morning), but i really am looking forward to the extended DVD... all that condensing, which i realise was nec for the format, really bugged me. but, despite that, i think this film was monumental. a triumph.

This forum is full of jealous people, must be a shameful thing to not have made the movies you love so much!

after watching it like 2 times, i honestly think that lotr: rotk is THE best film ever made in 2003.. hands down
