  Oh wow! This was beautiful and so haunting! This is one of the best LOTR vids I've ever seen. The dialogue chosen was perfect, the editing was perfect, and matched the tone of the song beautifully. You really conveyed the struggle of Gollum here perfectly. I am so in awe of this video. It just brings to light how tortured a soul Gollum really was. Wonderful! Absolutely faultless.

  Thank you so much Karolina! Wow! Good catch! I'm impressed you spotted that! I specifically chose not to do his death at the end because I just feel like his life is so much more tragic! I don't really think of his death as a loss, because he already lost his soul, his goodness and even his identity many years earlier to just become this tormented creature- it's like being sentenced to a living hell! I see it as just a release from the curse for Gollum to die, because he lived so many long years just consumed with guilt and self-hatred.
  
  The line where Gollum says, "When they go in, there's no coming out." I thought of that as sort of a parallel to his obsession with the ring, which is why I showed the hand scooping it up as that soundclip played. I feel like the loss was really just the corruption of his soul, and the fact that he was never able to find himself- so yeah, I didn't really find the death clip being relevant for that reason.
  
  I'm glad you enjoyed it! I loved your review haha!
