[QUOTE="Sidran, post: 282066, member: 6160"] All I have to say is this, and I am only going to say it...however many times it takes to sink in It was by necessity that the movie's internal time line was sped up. It is a fact of film, that the longer the laps in time last, or the further the time spreds out the less interest an "adverage viewer" is going to feel towards the show. For example Gone in 60 seconds, Vrs. Bicentennial Man.. One lasts long enough that "adverage" Viewer is going to loose concentration on the story and grow bored. The other goes from one action pact moment to the next, riveting the audiences concentration on the screen. If Jackson had of aged Frodo sixteen years, waited five months to start the adventure, he would have had to show it in the film which would add screen time lag, and thus detract from the interest of the viewer. And he does actually hint at time elapsing when Gandalf tells Frodo, and the Fellowship of the Hunt for Gollum and how Sauron knew of the Shire as the place of the Ring. [/QUOTE]
