In the water scene, it felt like Jackson wasn't striving for realism but some artistic vision. Thus, Sam appears to sink several feet yet is saved when Frodo reaches a few inches below the surface and grabs him. The second hand clasp clarified for me the intentions of the first. They serve as bookends on the entire post-fellowship journey of Frodo and Sam. I agree, it seemed the hand clasps were very purposefully made parallel.

The left us clues, which is indeed the mark of a good director. My point was that there is evidence that they wanted us to see things the way Jay is setting them out.

As for what's artificial... what isn't? This is a movie, after all. I agree that it was intentional, but isn’t that what good directors do?

So I think they were intentionally attempting to bring the two events together. I thought the hand clasp in the water was highly artificial….

WinDVD can capture stills... you press 'P'. If you press 'P' very rapidly, you can grab a whole series of images from a few seconds of film and then pick the best one. Yes.

To me, that's one of the most wondrous things about the Word and the world: you can find infinite parallels in the wake of an infinite Creator. Did you do those screen captures yourself?
