OK anybody who knows me knows I LOVE Elijah and his portrayal as Frodo. 
So what about the folks here? Someone else must like Elijah and Frodo. 
Anyone, anyone....? Beuller?

Like I said in another thread, I couldn't visualize the characters in the book when I read it, so the movie helped me immeasureably there. If I write and stick to canon (dark hair and grey eyes for Boromir), I still envision the actors.
But I think EW did a good job as Frodo. I confess I like the movies better than the books.  I love the book, but the visuals in the movie were so mind-blowing to me that I couldn't possibly have the appreciation and affection for the book without the help from the movie. That goes for the actors as well as the sets and effects. |

| Why is it that every time I bring up Elijah Wood, my husband starts humming "Here's to you, Mrs. Robinson..."? |

Well since most of Elijah's fans are somewhere near his Mom's age just ignore the Mrs. Robinson teasing. There are lots of us!
I never had a thing for such a young guy before and never expected to. But Elijah is just so wonderful as Frodo and such a nice guy in real life that ...well.... I've been a goner over him for almost two years. WOW! Is it going to be two years since FOTR came out.

Hey, I may be old enough to be his mom too, but I ain't dead!
And truthfully, I fell for the character back when I was 13 - I probably would have appreciated anyone who did the role well and believably. I like Mr. Wood out of costume too, but with a wig and those ears.... YEAOWZA!!! Hot baby! OK... so maybe I just have this odd wig fetish thing going...  - or maybe it's the feet that do it?

As moms, we just feel the strong maternal instinct to protect Frodo. All that anguish etched on his angelic Hobbit face. You just want help him, hold him, and soothe all his worries away.
As for Mr. Wood, he did such a convincing job as the ring bearer that, I think, he's name will always be synonymous to Frodo. It will be one of Elijah's lasting legacy. |

Elijah did a great job as Frodo. I too, could not imagine him looking any different now. However in TTT, there was a bit too much 'eye rolling' for my taste. But that has more to do with production decisions than Elijah's acting.
Sorry other mums, but I would feel very odd fantasising about someone who looks so young. Shall stick to Sean Bean and Viggo for my naughtier moments. |
