I beg to differ. The message of the movie is subversive, telling us that humans have no control over their own destiny.

One day, archeologists will stuggle to decypher the meaning of "Life,liberty and pursuit of happiness".

I beg to disagree. The message of the movie is that "an angel still rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm." We can choose to align our lives with this influence in the world, or we can beat our heads against a wall. The choice is ours.

No. Pay close attention to the character of Sam - not literally, but what he symbolizes. Frodo's situation is often intertwined with concepts of destiny and the tasks thrust upon him. Sam's situation is different though. Pay close attention to the element of choice within it and you will see what I am talking about.
