CHAPTER FIVE: A Long Expected Party
DISCUSSION: Sept. 23-26, 2005
DVD TIME INDEX: 19:56 – 25:31
Synopsis:
A firework explodes overhead as the camera reveals a grand party in the undertaking. There is merry dancing, partying, and clapping. Sam Gamgee is very nervous as he watches Rosie Cotton dance, and Frodo playfully (and forcefully) pushes him into the open, and Rosie and Sam dance. Gandalf unleashes yet another firework, while Bilbo tells a tale of his travels to hobbit children sitting nearby. Merry and Pippin sneak into Gandalf's fireworks tentas Gandalf unleashes another one, and steal a giant dragon firework. Bilbo greets more visitors, and his ears begin to twitch, a sign that the dreaded Sackville-Bagginses are nearby. Frodo helps his uncle hide, where Bilbo lets out an unusual spill, saying that he is selfish and that Frodo is a good lad, a sign of Bilbo's departure. Merry and Pippin light the firework inside the tent, and it explodes in a fury, sending the massive thing into the air with Merry and Pippin's face smoked. Everyone cheers as it explodes but somehow it evolves into a dragon. The crowd races to the ground in a fury as the dragon races overhead, and explodes over the nearby village of Bywater with a sensational applause by the audience. Gandalf catches the two young hobbits in the act and sends them to wash dishes. All the hobbits call for a speech from Bilbo, who eventually agrees. He remarks, 'I don't like half of you half as well as I should like, and I like half of you half as well as you deserve.' This puts the crowd offguard as Bilbo begins to fiddle in his pocket. 'I regret to announce this is the end. I'm going now. And I wish you all a very fond farewell.' He turns to Frodo, saying 'Goodbye' and suddenly vanishes. The crowd is gasped, and Gandalf is not amused.
BACON’S Opinion:
Yet another lovely Shire scene. I love this scene because it sets the tone for the rest of the movie. These are really the last happy moments in the film, and Bilbo's speech at the end transitions the audience into a different, serious mood. In the book, it's the same... but different. It was all a very lighthearted chapter, the same content, but just different. The way it is in the movies is a bit more dramatic.
I'm not sure if anyone has noticed, but the cake caught on fire during filming and it shows as Bilbo gives his speech.
