my "friend" yells at me for being so obsessed with a story, and I told her, its not just a story, it's like a whole world that tolkien created, he created, the story, middle earth, the languages and all the history of middle earth. Also, he created the charecters so well its incredable, I mean the love between frodo and sam is so much, wen u think about it u wanna cry! I was talking to one of my real friends about the love and we both just started crying lol! Plus, the story may be based on partly real life, and people do have to go through journeys and it's showing how evn lil ppl can overcum big things!  BTW, does it really annoy any1 else wen ppl say frodo an sam r gay? I mean sumtimes it can b funny wen u no they dont mean it, but seriously, dont ppl understand that two ppl can have such a strong friendship?! Soz 4 the soppyness lol! |

[shadow=blue,left,300]welcome! lainey [/shadow] well I must say you have come to the right place judging from what you said above  And your correct, it's not just a story, it's a history. and like you said about Sam and Frodo, it could be also a story about friendship, here we see two tiny hobbits trying to destroy the most powerful object in their world, and the one who carried it wouldn't have succeded without his best friend, without that friends loyal, "pure" help.That's why the ending is so sad that you feel like this: everytime you read it, see it, think on it. here's one absolute fav' qoute: - All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. and: -Many that live deserve death, and some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them, Frodo? Do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment. Even the very wise cannot see all ends I do also sometimes make fun of them being gay but it's not really what the story is about, is it? it's reallly annoying when people "yell" at me and my friends just because we happen to like our LOTR |

I'll have to agree with you on it being more than a story to me too.
The Sam/Frodo thing is a bit strange I think. It's great their relationship and all but I really think that Peter Jackson has made them seem pretty gay in the movies...
What can I say, me and my sick mind...

Sorry for opening up an old thread  but I had to react on it (haven't been around for so long and apparently I've missed quite a lot of discussions  ) I think that Peter Jackson showed the love between Frodo and Sam very good. It's a kind of brotherly love I think you can call it...especially from sam's part. Tolkien described it in such a way that you could actually feel it between them...and Peter Jackson let it show very well in the movie. By the way, is it just me or do more people think Merry should be more like Pippin?? Not that I don't like the way he's been played in the movie. But in the book he's soooooooooo different. They should have had a secong Billy Boyd as Merry . Merry in the movie is waaaaaaaaaay to serious |

By the way, is it just me or do more people think Merry should be more like Pippin I totally agree! they don't look gay, they are just like brothers.. or something like that.. hmm.. a second billy Boyd as merry that's a great idea... |

Lol, it's not that I don't like Dom, but, he's waaaaaaaay to serious for Merry, especially when you've read the books and compare them with the movie. Lol, luckily my friends at school don't find me crazy....they're just as crazy about the movies as I am...though perhaps I'm just a freak . Some find me crazy because I actually play such settings out in real.....it's sooooooooooo good to escape from reality once in a while. |

when i went to go see ROTk in the theaters, when it came to the part when Frodo gets poisoned by the spider and Sam holds him, some guys starting snickering and made a comment about gay relationships. i was so mad. although sometimes it seems there are a bit too much hobbit-hugging, i hafta agree it's like a brotherly relationship. not gay....  i like sam and frodo's relationship; if i really start to think about it it touches me. |
