@voteZDLR 5 лет назад

And loyalty, as well, it was so extreme that when they were filming Lord of the Rings, Sean Astin who plays Sam took it as far as fetching coffee for him, making sure his clothes were washed and folded neatly, and even getting onto some of the crew and others and taking a protective stance on everything to do with Elijah, because he was in character for the entire time they filmed it, as a method actor. He took the whole "Sam is Frodo's undyingly loyal servant" thing to heart and it shows in his performance, the best either of them have ever given.

@roguishpaladin 4 года назад

Well, he did major in English Lit - he just happened to focus on American works. I'm not surprised that, once he read the works and studied them, he really absorbed the themes and motivations behind the story really well. Listening to him talk about Ents really indicated to me that he understood Tolkien as well as any Tolkien scholar. While it might be a stretch for most actors, it is arguable that Sean Astin might be the greatest scholarly authority on Samwise Gamgee alive - he's got both the scholarly background to know what to look for as well as the chance to have lived the part.

Almost 15 years later, and the film industry still hasn’t managed to create (an adapted or original) trilogy of films, all-around as good as Lord of the Rings. The cinematography, practical effects (even the CGI still holds up), casting, and original score are so superior to any other film series that has come out since.

One is that the eagles are proud animals and not beasts of burden. Gandalf does not command the eagles he has a working relationship with Gwaihir who does him a few favours. There is also the fact that the only reason they managed to get so close to Mordor was that Sauron and the Nazgul were distracted by the Army of Men at the black gate. If they flew straight there they probably would have been intercepted by the Nazgul or some other servant of Sauron like a Wyrm. There are other reasons but no the fellowship could not have just flew to Mordor on the eagles.

It's incredible that Sean was cast to play one of the most iconic characters written in the 20th century. Sam didn't understand the implications of what he was getting wrapped up in. All he knew is that his friend Frodo needed his help. In much the same way, Sean seemed to grasp the gravitas of what it meant to be offered the role of Sam and delivered one of the most iconic performances in the history of film. His portrayal of Sam is beautiful because it's real - it's about loving something bigger than yourself and playing your small part that you believe in.

LOTR needed a Gollum to succeed in destroying the ring. And who let Gollum live in the first place? Yes. Frodo. Not Sam who was so intent in putting Gollum away. Frodo's mercy and sacrifice makes him the ultimate hero. No one is supposed to succeed in destroying it anyway but he saved himself when he saved another's life.

That would be because he's pretty much stayed out of Hollywood for the past 15 or so years. If you look at his IMDB, he's worked his ass off in movies you're never heard of. I remember even back in the day around RotK's release him saying that he wanted out of the spotlight, and good for him.

Saturday Projects Sidekick?

@AlwaysRetr0 6 лет назад

He's led on to be seen as the 'side kick' by the people watching, but in my eyes he's the main character. He's the hero who figuratively and literally carried the ring bearer on his back. Let's not forget (spoilers) Frodo was fully intending to keep the ring for himself until Gollum attacked him at the very end. Sam is the guy who saw Gollum for what he was, he defeated Shelob, he saves Frodo after he's captured by the Orcs and then like I said he carries Frodo to Mount Doom when he pretty much completely gave up. It's no coincidence that practically whenever he's on screen during The Return of the King the old 'concerning hobbits' theme plays, or at least a variation of it, which to me is trying to show that he is in many ways 'The Hobbit', or at least he encompass exactly what it is to be a hobbit. A good-natured yet unlikely hero, who always wanted what was best for his friends and never gives up. It's also no coincidence that the entire trilogy ends with a the final scene of Sam returning home to his family. Us as the viewers should want that closure with his character over any other's because he should be seen as the true hero of the story. That's how I see it anyway.
