Lord Of The Rings Fellowship Of The Ring Exten Full Better <PREMIUM>

The theatrical cut briefly touches on Hobbit culture. The extended full version dedicates nearly five minutes to a narrative montage of Bilbo’s party preparations. You see the postal system of the Shire, the gossip of the Hobbiton citizens, and a much deeper sense of the "calm before the storm." This makes Frodo’s departure later in the film infinitely more tragic.
