#WAS SAM AND FRODO GAY MOVIE#

However, I have discovered indisputable proof on this matter, check it out here: link This is an interesting question that has baffled literary critics for over a generation. I think it's more about love between them, than sexuality. I think it's worse in the film because you can actually see their facial expressions towards each other, whereas you have to use your own imagination with the book, and you might not imagine them to be gay. I don't think they were originally intended to be gay, but Tolkien doesn't do a good job of trying to back this up. I could have sworn they were going to snog on the dock at the end of Return of the King! Tolkein denied this though, but he was a smug twatty male chauvinist English teacher, so who really cares what he said anyway Oh, and Thomas: its a parable of the SECOND world war. Needless to say, we didn't make it passed half way through Two Towers, due in equal parts to alcohol and boredom. Use of the word 'Mordorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr'ĭown your drink on 'They have a cave troll' One of the conditions for drinking was 'a gay look between frodo and sam' Me and some mates watched the first 2 back to back as a drinking game last year. This is total and utter codswallop! It is a parable of the first world war, Tolkein was pot addict, its got big flaming eyes, and norweign kings, why would sam and frodo be gay? Sam is in fact, a one man army of awesomeness. precious!Īll races have exceptions, even the Maiar and Valar have fellows like Sauron and Melkor.ĭefinitely those three would fall on their backs laughing at a bunch of gay hobbit jokes.Frodo could well be gay, but Sam just appeases him in order to stop him getting depressed. Innocent resilience to evil, a devotion to all nature things, deep loyalty to their friends and always true to themselves.īut.on the other hand, there was GOLLUM. That is also why Treebeard had an unusual interest and consideration with the little ones. That was Gandalf's main reason for allowing Frodo to carry the ring. They simply won't go against their basic nature, even if attracted in someway to the same sex. right guys?īecause of their nature, homosexuality or 'gay behaviour' means nothing to hobbits, they can't understand it. You understand deep brotherly childhood true friendship without malice. There are overtones, used to make emphasis on the deep emotional connection between hobbits.

The movie is somewhat different than the book, lacking the background and explanation of the hobbit race. They had innocent moments of discovery mixed with harsh growing-up experiences during the difficult times of the war of the ring. The kind of relationship between Frodo and Sam, Merry and Pippin, was similar to the human childhood best friends. Tolkien reminded us of their inmature condition, by constantly making them trip and do stupid things like attracting the 'enemy' attention. The 'problem' with Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin, was that they were still younglings. Its somewhat explained in the introduction of the trilogy and during the first chapters of the books. They lack the malice and the lascivous behaviour of the Satyr.Ĭontrary to the satyrs, the adult hobbit is a formal guy, extremely ritualistic and methodical, a behaviour that is in contrast with their chaotic younglings.Ĭomming on age and leaving behind the chaotic ways, is a crucial moment in the lives of hobbits. They have a very long childhood and usually they reach adulthood before developing a mature way of seeing and doing things. Hobbits are a neutral/good bunch they live their lives with abandon. Satyrs influenced Shakespeare in creating A Midnight Summer Dream, playing a part in generating the confusion between lovers. Satyrs were usually pursuing the nymphs, playing music (imitating their chief Pan), getting drunk and sleeping with man or woman. Satyrs were a happy lazy group of glutons and pranksters. Satyrs were modeled after the mischievious Pan, the half man half goat god, that had an instrumental part in the orgiastic feasts known by the romans as bacchanals. Greeks and Romans told us that these creatures were a part of natures realm, subordinates of greek god Dionysus (also known as Bacchus, the roman god of wine and wild good times). Most literature scholars coincide that hobbits are the equivalent of the satyrs. His world was inspired and created from the adaptation of diverse mythos, from all cultures that had instilled the english world with a part of its beliefs and knowledge. Myths, legends from the old world facinated him.

His academic role in the university was highly praised and was commonly considered as an understanding and tolerant guy. Tolkien was a respected english literature teacher. Interesting conversation that goes nowhere.
