Manly Movie Moment: I can carry you!
October 12, 2013
Frodo and Sam have traveled countless miles and escaped many dangers. They are at the foot of Mount Doom where they are to destroy the One Ring for good. Frodo has no strength left, and despite how far they have come, he feels he can’t go on. Faithful and stalwart Samwise isn’t one to quit, and he does what it takes to finish the job in what is one of my favorite scenes in Lord of the Rings.

I cant decide if that sceene is my favorite or the one at the end of “The Fellowship of the Ring” when the two are speaking of the future and Sam is imagining stories being told of Frodo’s great adventure. Frodo’s response is ” What about Samwise the Brave, I want to here more about him; Frodo wouldn’t have gotten far without Sam. With genuine humility Sam, not a bit considering himself a major player and embarresed even to be considered tells Frodo to quit joking that he’s being serious. This sceene really touched my heart.

Sorry it’s actually The Return of the King =D
ok, my mistake, didnt read all comments =(
We should make a list of courageous carriers — from Boystown to Forrest Gump to Return of the King and Beyond.
A moment where even a man is allowed to have tears in his eyes. If Samwise isn’t a true brother of Frodo, then I don’t know what it’s ment to be someones brother.
