IA with this but

It took a couple of decades

decades? o_o

[(Anonymous)]

Maybe they're referring to the passage of time (in the books, it's about 17 years) when Gandalf leaves Frodo the ring and returns?

Although I don't recall Frodo ever really using it or doing anything with it during that time.

[gabzillaz]

They were. I didn't remember because I haven't read the books in a looong time.

[intrigueing]

Well, he got the ring when he was 33, and then when he was 50, spent a couple years trekking to Mount Doom. I was going on the book's timeline. Now that I think of it, there wasn't nearly that long a gap in the movie timeline IIRC, but still -- a LOT longer than it took Smeagol.

[gabzillaz]

Oh, I see. It's been ages since I read the book so I didn't remember XD

[ryttu3k]

It was a bit under half a year, actually - they left shortly after Frodo's birthday (September 22nd), and the ring went into the fire on March 25th. The round trip takes just over a year, though - they're close to the Shire when 6th October rolls around, and Frodo experiences pains from the attack at Weathertop at its one-year anniversary.

So, Frodo gains the ring on September 22nd, 1301, they depart the Shire on... I want to say September 24th, 3018, and the ring is destroyed on March 25th, 3019. About seventeen and a half years. 'Decades' isn't quite there.

The movie compressed it a lot, unfortunately - I guess it was so the cast could be introduced during the party, since in the book, Pippin, Merry, and Sam were all of twelve (Pippin), eighteen (Sam), and somewhere in between (Merry - I don't recall how old he was in the book, was it thirty-three?), and it would have been awkward using the same actors. (Frodo would have been fine, due to the ring's effects!)
