He delivered the speech of the movie and he didn’t do it sound trumpets and unfurl banners. He spoke to a wounded heart from a wound heart. That scene was great. When Frodo turned to kill him, you knew Sam’s heartbreak when he said to Frodo “I’m your Sam.”

Sam is going to move to the foreground for me in this movie... My tears will be for that scene I think... And for Frodo's face when he sees Gollum in the pool, and betrays him to save his life. I want to see that again.

I loved Gollum's face when he fetched the conies and dropped them on Frodo. Like my dog, so hungry for approval. I once woke up with a dead mouse on me and dog looking at me with the same pride of accomplishment and hope for praise. I have been repulsed by a dog who loves me, and it reminded me of that! ;~D

Even though it was corny, I gotta love the Brego scene because I love recognition of the real bonds that drive our beasts to work for us... And I noticed in Aragorn's ride home many opportunities taken for Viggo to show off his riding and show off that horse. It was like watching a dressage horse dance as he rode, not the yank and run riding of cowboy movies. Do non-horse people see that? I wonder?
