Re: Purist annoyances

[(Anonymous)]

Frodo didn't push him in though? Frodo attacked Gollum back after the finger-biting to try to get the ring again, and they both fell over the edge and Frodo grabbed the rocks just in time.

Okay, yes. But still, Frodo attacking Gollum is very different from what happens in the book. It makes Frodo look almost heroic there and makes it seem like he's the one who destroys the ring. The book is very clear on that. No one can do it. Frodo can't. It is only fate or whatever that makes Gollum fall into the volcano as he is dancing. The movie scene changes that.

Errrrr...I don't know about that. I mean, I agree that the stroke of luck/fate would have been the better way to go for that scene, but Tolkien himself said:

"Frodo too would then probably, if not attacked, have had to take the same way: cast himself with the Ring into the abyss."

Re: Purist annoyances

He attacked Gollum out of lust for the ring (as evidenced by the crazed look on his face). Even if it inadvertently leads to the ring being destroyed, how does that make him look almost heroic? It's pure circumstance.

Re: Purist annoyances

I saw it more as the ring being an idiot and inadvertedly destroying itself, considering Frodo only attacked Gollum because he wanted to take the ring back. Since he only did this because of the ring's influence on his mind, nobody actually destroyed the ring, it destroyed itself.
