Chapter 6 ~ "Farewell, dear Bilbo"
PB: And of course we made the decision early on that Frodo is suspicious of Bilbo leaving but has no idea that he is in fact going to do it, as opposed to the story in the book where Frodo was fully ? of Bilbo's plans and enjoys the joke.
PJ: We also had to drop the idea that is was Frodo's birthday as well as Bilbo's. Because often those things are just too complicated and confusing for what value you get from them.
PB: One of my favourite things in the book is that Hobbits give presents on their birthdays instead of receiving them and so, all sorts of little things that you would love to do but just stops the film dead if you turned? to do them. And on the wall if you look closely and you see two portraits which is Bilbo's parents. And if you look even closer you'll see they bear a striking resemblance to Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh.
PJ: This was a difficult shot because it's so long. If you just look at it, it just keeps going and going and going without cutting. And I wanted to do that deliberately. Again I wanted to spend a lot of time. This single shot took us an entire day to shoot because I really wanted to sell the idea again of Ian Holm and Ian McKellen being together and being different sizes. And I thought it was worth it because the shot's over a minute long, which means you're not spending the entire day doing an eight or nine seconds difficult shot, you're doing a minute long difficult shot so it makes the time worthwhile.
I think Ian Holm does this brilliantly. This is probably one of my favourite scenes in the entire film. I just think that you just can't imagine how difficult it is to sell the idea without making it look hamy? or cheesy. And he is just doing brilliant, brilliant work here.
PB: You see, Ian Holm played Frodo in the BBC radio-adaptation of the Lord of the Rings. He was very, very familiar with the world.
PJ: When you look at the scenes in Bag End, just forgetting the trick shots that have the two actors in the scenes at the same time... What you're seeing is actually two completely different sets. We built Bag End at two different sizes. So every time that you're seeing Ian Holm, you're looking at a Bag End which is large, which makes him look like he's the right size. And when you look at Ian McKellen you're seeing a much smaller Bag End, one in which we all had to bend over and stoop as we went on the door and we just simply- They were exactly the same, the books on the shelves were built two different scales, the candles, the candlesticks, the furniture was all manufactured two different sizes, they're exact replicates of each other except one of them is 33% smaller than the other.
I love this Bag End-set so much. It felt so comfortable that- When we finished shooting with it, it was due to be destroyed, as all of our sets are, they basically get broken up and jut? when the filming is finished. And I couldn't bear that to happen to Bag End, so I approached New Line and I said if I can pay for my own storage, can I keep the Bag End-set and they agreed. So I've got Bag End in storage and one day I'm gonna put it into the side of a hill and gonna actually make my own Hobbit-hole. Because it's just so comfortable.
It's an amazing experience to be in a house where everything is round. It's something like being in a womb. There's... sort of very, very peaceful and tranquil and something calming? about it, so I'm looking forward to one day being able to spend week-ends in Bag End.
PB: I thought this was conceptionally brilliant. I remember reading this again as was in your treatment, Peter, that the Ring doesn't just fall. It almost, it, he is..
PJ: Almost sticks to the palm of his hand...
PB: Sticks to his hand-
PJ: ... only reluctantly and then when the Ring lands, we wanted to put this big, heavy sound-effect on, so it goes 'thummb' like it weighs a hell of a lot more than it really should.
PB: This was so beautifully done, this scene, I believe. And it is one of those moments for a Tolkien-fan, someone who has read the book, where these two actors truly are Bilbo Baggins and Gandalf the Grey, I believe. And you wouldn't know that these two really didn't know each other that well.
The song is taken of course from the poem and the music, the tune was composed by Fran. She came up with it the last second.
