![]() It’s a wonderful message we can take to current times.įurthermore, it also adds a lot more meaning to current times, as we deal with the COVID crisis, disagreements with those you love, and some other things as well – which shine a new light on our personal lives not going as we had hoped or expected. While it’s certainly different in the movies, I believe they’ve paraphrased Sam’s speech very powerfully. It mentions all the stuff that happened in the First and Second Ages, as well as part of the Third Age – Beren and Luthien, Bilbo’s Journey, etc. I also think that for a speech this powerful, the book adds so much richness to it – especially as Frodo and Sam didn’t know what was going to happen. It sometimes just gives us a sense that someone is talking to us in that way, especially when we feel isolated and alone like the only ones in the situation we’re in right now. ![]() When things aren’t going as we expected, there are definitely a lot of things we can turn to from here. Usually, it’s the message I’d turn to during tough times. As it does provide for more of a conversational tone in it. But I disagree – there is still at least an element of Sam’s speech in the books, which I think it seems more like a dialogue.īut for the sake of this post, I’ll focus on the book adaptations of Sam’s Speech – in which you could say it’s a dialogue.

It adds so much richness to it that the movie paraphrases. Many thought otherwise – you’ll see TONS of posts out there saying that this eye-opening speech was added in the movies, but not in the books.īut I beg to differ – there is a book equivalent as well. One of them provided an interesting take, in that this speech was redone in the movies, which I completely overlooked. The first time I heard about it was when I went back to school (the first one as a huge fan of the series) and was so glad to see a couple of students talking about it as well. I was thinking about it for a while, but couldn’t help but feel that the difference between Sam’s speech in the books and movies stuck out to me like a sore thumb. There’s one part which never ceases to move me, and many of us – it’s Sam’s Speech, regardless of whether it’s from the book or movie. But you’ve left out one of the chief characters…. ![]()
