In the book Bilbo won on a lucky accident. With the time riddle, Gollum was about to call himself the winner, and Bilbo, wanting more time to think, simply burst out "time" in a panic, to which Gollum got angry at him saying the correct answer, and Bilbo just went along with it

I like how they changed that in the film but it's still Gollum's fault for trying to eat Bilbo. In the book it's made clear that it was Gollum's pressure what made Bilbo say simply "time" and here it is him saying "time's up".

He's a werewolf!" This meant in his mind he was becoming a werewolf and was a precursor that he was about to go apeshit on someone.

Matthew 11:15 KJV He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. Are you saved? Where will you go when you die? Heaven or hell? The Gospel, which means the Good News is the news that God Almighty, the Creator came in the flesh as Jesus Christ to take away the sin of the world. The one God is a trinity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Son came and laid down his own life to save ours. His sacrifice on the cross paid the price for our redemption with his own blood. On the third day he rose from dead and offers the gift of salvation and forgiveness to those that repent and trust in him. Although God's creation was created perfect, having no death, sickness and disease, the creation became corrupted through Adam and Eve in them disobeying God. In this rebellion the creation became fallen through the curse of sin and mankind became separated from God. This world is fallen, but God offers reconciliation to him through his provision at the cross. Ultimately God will restore his creation to perfection when he returns but those that who reject his offer of redemption will remain condemned by their sins and go to hell. John 1:1,14 KJV In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and THE WORD WAS GOD. [14] And THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, and dwelt among us, 1 John 3:8 KJV He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Isaiah 9:6 KJV For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty GOD, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. John 1:10 KJV He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and THE WORLD KNEW HIM NOT.

Fun fact: In Middle-Earth lore, some of the oldest and most popular riddles were made up by the elves, who actually put some magic into them which made you forget the answer after a while, so the riddle could be asked time and time again. It's no coincidence that the riddles in "the Hobbit" were universally poems, they're more akin to magic formulas than trick questions from a lore perspective.

It makes him look more innocent than Gollum; between the two, Gollum is more conniving, sly, and overall unpleasant. Narrowed eyes often give people that impression, especially if the narrowing is obviously intentional. ‘Innocent’ figures in media like television and cinema often have dilated pupils or eyes in general, to make them seem more adorable/relatable/pitiable. Sméagol is the more trusting of the two, with a better nature, and the dilation of his pupils underlines that. We feel sorry for Sméagol and his predicament, and we can feel that more clearly when contrasting him to Gollum.

@abigail_yang

3 жыл бұрын

@Johnt Schmichal I did not say that I believed Sméagol to be innocent. You’re only proving my point, as was the point of the character. Feeling bad for him was intended, and no matter the character trait, the intention was so, as produced by Tolkien’s hand and the film. The special effects of the film make him seem that way, to lure the viewer into a false sense of security, as Frodo was, in a way. The contrast is a distraction; the obvious ill-intent of Gollum is a diversion, so the two, with the same ultimate goals, may achieve them, most notably, acquiring the One Ring. Also, there is only evidence that Sméagol was corrupted by the Ring, as he did evil, as we saw, only after seeing it. I know not of solid proof to show that Sméagol was evil before encountering the One Ring.

I love how Gollum symbolizes Smeagol's fears and anxiety, when Bilbo mentions that he indeed does want to play, Smeagol comes out and is very happy. But when Smeagol starts being thrown tricky questions, he fluctuates between the two characters.

I love how Gollum throws his murder weapon rock in a tantrum, and Bilbo reacts to it like a bemused parent telling off his grouchy kid.

I know the Hobbit films aren’t very good on average, but this first film honestly came a lot closer than the others to capturing the charm of the book. I think this scene is genuinely a great adaptation, just two great actors being allowed to just act out the excellent interactions between Bilbo and Gollum. It’s genuinely incredible that this is the same trilogy that included that awful romantic sub plot or all those video game action sequences (one of which this bit sadly had to share screentime with!)

Smeagol in this film is a CG master piece. The best CG and motion capturing I've ever seen. The detail on his skin, his eyes, his expressions. It is an achievement in film history in my book.

All the actual scenes from the book are also the best scenes from the movies. They should have just made The Hobbit as a single good two-hour movie sticking closely to the book (i.e. cut out all that padding with the rabbit chariot, elven love interest, new orcs, etc etc).

And lose all the character development and world-building. I'm sorry, but making a single live-action film of The Hobbit that is only 2 hours long would be laughable. Just because the book glossed over a bunch of stuff doesn't mean the adaptations need to too.

I think it could been 2 three hour long movies. That way we could have room for development and lore, but cut out some of the padding. As it stands, I still love the hobbit trilogy as is. Could’ve been more streamlined, but it’s a lot of fun to watch.

Best scene in Hobbit series

0:36 The way Gollum says he's gets to eat Bilbo if he loses is hilarious!💯😂😂

the emotions are so funny after gollum says give us a chance

Andy Serkis is a god for playing Gollum so perfectly

at 5:00 , the second time gollum says : Ask us !! it always give me chill, such a great scene and great performance.

4:17 *crunchable*

I know they lit the scene to display the incredible job they did with the animation and Serkis' acting... But just to see what it would've been like, I watched this scene with the brightness WAY down, to the point where it was difficult to see more than very dark glimpses and close facial zooms. Gollum feels MUCH more intimidating when you feel like he is capable of moving around in the darkness with ease while Bilbo should be struggling to see at all. If you've ever been in a cave you know that ANY light is honestly unrealistic, but even the book describes Bilbo as being able to see the green glint in Gollum's eyes. I felt that a tiny bit of light, just enough to where it is still pretty difficult to make out what you're seeing on screen during this scene, felt the most like I remember imagining when I first read the book.

I LOVE Andy's hand-animated performance in LoTR. I really do. But this Gollum is better. Goes to show motion tracking really is the new rotoscoping. Gives a life-like accuracy to the movement that you don't get with key-framing, no matter how good the CG artist is.

Thank you HBO max for uploading this whole. Had to keep watching it in three separate videos.

'knife'. "Oh Shut Up". Loolll 😂😂

Look at how happy smeagol gets when bilbo says he had love to play with him

Gollum's "That's not fair, it's against the rules!" reminds me so much of playing board games (like Monopoly) with siblings and friends as a kid and constantly arguing about "house rules"

Yeah, the Sméagol side of his personality is like an excited little kid or happy puppy dog.

Andy Serkis is so good in this scene (and in general as an actor of course)

I love the desperate mumbling in the end of this scene where Gollum guesses "fish bones, shelles, batwings"... it says a lot about his whole world of reference for the last 500 years if he thinks Bilbo might be carrying batwings in his pocketsess 😂. A hilarious moment in an otherwise very dark scene 😄

That was a amazing scene. What a Great Acting

The only scene in The Hobbit trilogy that comes close to matching the quality of the original trilogy.

I love the original trilogy, but Hobbit does have several moments when it matches the originals in quality. Bilbo and Smaug's dialogue, the fight between Thorin and Azog, everything before Bilbo leaves Hobbiton, though the rest of the hobbit trilogy is very lackluster. But yeah, this scene is something else. I honestly think this is the best Gollum scene in the franchise. He's honestly better here than he was in the originals

Don't think of The Lord of the Rings as the "original trilogy" ala Star Wars. Think of it as a sequel trilogy that was made a decade in advance of the original. The Hobbit was written first, after all. You might appreciate these movies a little more if you view the six Middle-earth films chronologically.

@@Bauglir100 yeah, it is different from Star Wars. Though The Hobbit is also a Prequel to LOTR, like the Star Wars Prequels to the OT But meanwhile in the Star Wars where, the Prequels were the world building trilogy what added lot to the SW universe, here, the Hobbit (book) didn't have the deep lore what the Lord of the Rings trilogy had. Because the Hobbit book really came earlier. The world building happened in the LOTR books. If the Hobbit movies really would have been strict to the book, it would have been much less character development and consistency with LOTR. The problem is Peter Jackson added too much sidestory, like Alfrid or the Tauriel lovestory , what were really pretty unnecessary.

@@sectorgovernor The Hobbit is not a prequel, except in the sense that it was adapted to film after The Lord of the Rings. It's the original story and The Lord of the Rings is the sequel. That's how Tolkien himself meant these books to be read. You can easily watch The Hobbit first and have all your questions answered when you watch The Lord of the Rings. Whereas if you watch the Star Wars prequel trilogy first, then a lot of plot twists and mysteries in the original trilogy will be lost, like Luke's parentage or his relationship with Princess Leia. The prequel trilogy was made to answer questions that the original trilogy made us ask, not the other way around. I agree that some dumb changes were made in The Hobbit, but most of it was done because of meddling from Warner Bros.. Not that LOTR didn't have some dumb changes made to it too. I see a lot of people posting comments like "Tolkien is spinning in his grave." or "Tolkien would've hated The Hobbit films!", but the truth is that he would've hated the LOTR films too.

0:11 , I love this shot of Gollum becoming Smeagol.

I love the little nod after “we eats it whole” Like “yep I’m insane, hey whatta ya gonna do 🤷🏼”

5:56 best part "Knife!" "No, shut up." It's great because it's so relatable. I'm sure everyone has had a moment where you've said something stupid and immediately realised that was dumb and berated yourself for saying it.

Goddamn you gotta Andy credit where it's due. Not always a fan of the Hobbit movies in comparison to it's predecessors, but the interaction is flawless. Oh btw HBO Max.. hi ;)

Interesting how Gollum was the one saying their riddles and Smeagol was the one answering Bilbo's riddles

Gollum played a trick on us

And in the book Gollum asks one about fish that Bilbo only gets when a cave fish jumps up on his foot. "Living without breath, cold as death. Never thirsty, always drinking. Clothed in mail, never clinking."

Time for a hobbit marathon

3:09 and thats how you kiss Gollum begins to talk: what do you want to have a tutorial on next?

when you know the answer, you 10 year old to the teacher 5:02

"Just us" Gollum, Bilbo Bagginses, and the other personality!! 😅 This was a really good scene!! I teared up when Bilbo spared Gollum after seeing his sadness 🥺
