Random LOTR thought of the day.

I love the LOTR movie trilogy with all my heart. But man there are two things, two, that genuinely tick me off. (1) That stupid scene in The Return of the King when Frod sends Sam away.   In case you are just a movie fan who doesn’t know better; Frodo never sent Sam away in the book. Its very out of character. Its also OOC for Sam to leave. In the book they both enter the caves and both get attacked by Shelob. At some point Gollum corners Sam while Shelob is attacking and Sam is forced to fight for his life while Frodo is pursued by Shelob. They get separated here and by the time Sam finds Frodo it is too late.

I don’t understand why Peter Jackson didn’t just tweak this situtation to fit his narrative. Why do you have to fabricate a weird fight scene to split up the hobbits when they LITERALLY get split up in the caves later on? I know it’s a movie and you can’t do a scene exactly the same because some stuff doesn’t translate well - but it can be similar can’t it??? Just work with the timeline so it flows better with how the events play out in the movie! Like, if they wanted Frodo to face Shelob alone just make Gollum attack Sam sooner, somewhere in the maze of dark caves where Frodo wouldn't be able to see what happened. For example, Frodo could be moving forward doggedly with Sam behind him protectively, sword drawn. Sam hears a noise under his feet and stoops down to investigate. He discovers some bones in webs. Sam sits up to warn Frodo (who didn’t realize Sam stopped and is now a few paces forward) and Gollum silently jumps on Sam’s back and attacks him, slamming his head on a rock and dropping him into a mess of dark webs. Frodo, unaware of what has happened, tries to call out for Sam and begins to frantically search. Maybe he stumbles on a bit of gunk and falls down a slimy slope in Shelob’s lair. He lays, listening. He hears Smeagol laughing. “Not coming back, precious, noooo. The fat-one can’t come back can he?” So now, Frodo is alone and can only conclude Gollum has betrayed them and taken Sam out. This still allows for Frodo to be alone in the caves full of guilt because he would feel responsible for trusting Gollum and getting Sam killed. It would also help Sam's emotional devastation when he realizes he's been overpowered and is too late to save his friend.  (of course you could rearrange some of the movie beats. You could change the beginning; Make Frodo to pass out from the sheer weight of the ring, and have Sam rush to comfort him. This gives Smeagol a chance to wack Sam and toss him down one of Shelob’s many tunnels. Then Frodo could wake up alone. Again this is a vague idea so the actual rubriks may need work)

ANYWAY. In this format you can still get Frodo wandering alone, Frodo seeing Galadriel in the caves, Frodo being attacked by Shelob from behind, and Sam’s epic entrance at a pivotal moment.  PJ, I don’t understand why you thought a nonsensical falling-out was a more emotional or dramatic scene than Sam and Frodo getting separated by forces out of their control; failing not because they were disloyal, but because they were betrayed.  

(2) Faramir’s characterization in the Two Towers. What the heck??? I do not understand why PJ thought we need to assassinate this poor man’s personality so we could put yet another power-hungry man in Frodo’s path. 

So, the Hobbits need to go to Osgiliath. OK? How about instead of Faramir being like “Ah yis, let’s take the super evil ring to my jerk-of-a-dad,” we give him another motivation. I have two ideas off the top of my head.

a) In the book Faramir does not know exactly what “Isildur’s bane” is, no one in Gondor does. I am going to keep that plotline in tact. When Faramir finds out Sam and Frodo set out from Rivendell, he wonders if they have Isildur’s Bane, if other members of the fellowship have it, or if these two have abandoned the company for their own goals. Frodo and Sam are secretive once Frodo finds out Faramir is Boromir’s brother, and Frodo warns Sam not to say anything about the Ring or the quest. Because of their silence, Faramir doesn’t know what to think of Frodo and Sam, especially after he meets Gollum. When he questions Gollum he learns Gollum came from Morder and is leading Sam and Frodo there. Now, Faramir doesn’t know Mordor is the one place on earth the ring can be destroyed, and he knows very little of the Ring in general. What he does know is Frodo, Sam and Gollum are suspicious characters on their way to enemy territory, perhaps with a dangerous weapon. They have refused to give him any details about the fate of the Fellowship. For all he knows, these people are spies of Sauron. When he hears Osgiliath is under attacks he brings the hobbits not because he wants power or glory, but because his life is forfeit if he releases to foreigners without proper examination by the Steward of Gondor. 

It is in Osgiliath when Frodo breaks down and tells Faramir what’s going on. Maybe a Black Rider attacks (kinda like in the actual movie) and Faramir saves Frodo and Sam, or maybe it’s just some orc or wild man. The point is, Faramir sees the Ring and is tempted but doesn’t make a move to claim it for his own. The hobbits now feel that can trust Faramir and tell him everything. Faramir lets the hobbits go without an examination. He knows he could technically be killed but he does it anyway because he trusts that Sam and Frodo are honest, and things play out pretty much the Sam as they do in the actual movie. But maybe with less Faramir choking out Gollum.

b) Faramir finds out Frodo and Sam have the Ring when he questions Gollum. However, instead of Faramir being like “MWAHAHAAHA I’ve got you nooooow!” He offers the Hobbits protection. He tells them there are secret underground tunnels beneath Osgiliath that lead out of the city and away from Gondor. (maybe they were made by men of Numenor as a way of sneaking in an out of the country in the early days when Morgoth still roamed or something like that.) He explains that Sauron’s forces are crawling all over the countryside right now, and the Wild men are not to be trifled with. If Frodo and Sam travel with the Rangers they will have protection from Sauron’s  men all the way to Osgiliath, and from there they can go underground for miles before resurfacing in somewhat safer lands. 

Both of these options are better than that cold, distant Fakeamir and both would flow better into The Return of the King’s version of Faramir which is much more faithful to the book than Two Towers is. 

Don’t get me wrong, I still love the LOTR films and I love a lot of the Faramir content we have. The scene where he sees Boromir’s boat? So Sad! The scene with him and Pippin? Adorable! the fanservice moment where he meets Eowyn and they hold hands? Beautiful!! The script does a lot of stuff right! Unfortunately it also did a few things wrong. Faramir’s OOC moments in TTT don’t ruin the movie or trilogy for me, but they never fail to rile me up.  (However, at least with Faramir I kind of understand why, from a film perspective, they would make some changes - even though I really disagree with their decision. With Shelob absent from the middle movie we need an emotional low for Frodo and Sam - voila , the Osgiliath scene. We need them in Osgiliath - voila! Faramir takes them there. Now we get to see more of a journey for Faramir before he rejects the ring. Perfect! Again I disagree with the change and think there are better ways to add an emotional low but I see why the powers that be thought it would be a good idea. BUT FRODO SENDING SAM AWAY?? SAM LEAVING FRODO?? HUH?????)

Arwen was originally at Helm’s Deep in Two Towers

Did you know that in the early drafts of the film, Arwen brings the sword Anduril to Aragorn during the Battle of Helm’s Deep and fights alongside him and his allies against Saruman’s Orc army?

Some scenes of Arwen fighting were filmed, but according to the DVD extra features of The Two Towers, these scenes were deleted with Liv Tyler’s approval as the producers thought it did not fit into the story at that point in time.

What Liv Tyler said was profound, “You don’t have to put a sword in Arwen’s hands to make her strong

In a way, she’s right. Arwen’s strength comes from within. She protected Frodo on her own and defeated the Nine Ringwraiths without putting her sword to use but by chanting to the river and summoning the flood to wipe them out.

She did something no one other men could do, defeating an enemy without cracking their skulls and completed her objective in delivering Frodo safely. Although it would be cool to see her swinging a sword in a different battle.
