(The Shire: From the time that Frodo is reading in the meadow to Gandalf knocking on Bilbo's door)
When Frodo looks at the camera for the first time I am always taken with his beautiful eyes. They seem to light up his face. Elijah Wood has very expressive eyes.
I think the part where Bilbo is frantically searching for the ring is new. I got the impression the first time around that it was more of a bauble to him. Of course, I saw movies 1 and 2 before reading the books.
The young Hobbits are so precious...maybe that's not the right word. I'd like to take some of them home. I don't think they'd take up much space, but they might eat me out of house and home.

Apparently they don't work very well, though, according to Dom Monaghan...  I was deeply amused by this scene when I saw it for the first time. Particularly when Gandalf says, "A wizard is never late, nor is he early; he arrives precisely when he means to!" and then they both laugh inexplicably for ten minutes straight. Okay, that's a bit of an exaggeration... but still.  Two of the little Hobbits are Peter Jackson's children... they make a cameo in each movie. |

The encounter of Frodo and Gandalf is lovely. After having seen the trilogy, it makes me a bit sad because the difference between this Frodo and the one in ROTK couldn´t be bigger and I must always think that Frodo has so many tormenting experiences to undergo.
Gandalf´s line that a wizard is never late becomes significance in the hindsight, when he has to admit in Rivendell that he actually was late, when the Hobbits came to Bree.

I loved the visual look of the Shire in FOTR; and found it pretty much perfect.

I do love Fellowship. There's something really special about it, despite several flaws.
I'm usually confused by Galadriel's comment at the beginning. "For none now live who remember it." Surely Elrond counts?
But I love the Shire, and the depiction of the hobbit's lives.....and the music gets me every time.
I love FOTR because we see the Shire, and I agree that's it's just about perfect.

Maybe she doesn't have a very high opinion of her son-in-law's memory? |

Maybe she doesn't have a very high opinion of her son-in-law's memory?  That darn Alzheimers can even strike elves. No, that can't be right or Elrond would remember it fine....he'd just have trouble remembering the number of his flet in Rivendell. |

Elrond forgetting his flat number? One can only imagine the number of times he walked in on Aragorn and Arwen as a result... Wow. I think there's a whole fanfic right there. |
