Not even close. Gotta give Sam credit though. Good guess.

Also, I think I may just be wrong about how time works so I thought two things were close enough to each other but might not be. I should probably just reveal it, don't know who this is for anyway.

EDIT: the answer is when Smeagol gets free. Such good stuff. I thought that whole time was really short, but I think I forgot about the part in between when Gimli talks about dwarf women.

Just watched All Quiet on the Western Front a couple nights ago, outside of it being dubbed (I believe it was made in German) it's the best historically accurate war movie I've seen.

The original movie version with Lew Ayres was amazing too, as was the modern TV version with Richard Thomas and Ernest Borgnine as Kat! The book has a sequel called The Road Back, which ends up with the older protagonist watching Hitler Youth practicing military maneuvers from a train car.

It's crazy to think the original had actual WW1 vets acting in it, it must've taken some serious balls to voluntarily go back and reenact being in that nightmare

Media wise, a biography of early British film director James Whale notes that some of his early movie monster flics' more ghoulish scenes such as those from the first Frankenstein movies seem like variants on nightmarish paintings on WWI battlefield subjects.
