“But I Can Carry You! - The Selfless Masculinity of Samwise Gamgee”
Lovely video essay about Samwise Gamgee.
Sean Astin’s portrayal of Sam was absolutely perfect.

RIP Lou Gossett, Junior 💔
Wil Wheaton tells a story about Sean Astin, Lou Gossett Jr and a banana on the set of Toy Soldiers. 😍
"My fondest memory from that shoot [Toy Soldiers] was when we were filming in the quad, after our characters put all the dean’s furniture out on the lawn.
We were between takes, and Sean Astin asked the prop guy to give him a banana. The camera rolls, and Sean is standing there, eating a banana in the most contemptuous, surly way I think anyone ever could. Lou Gossett is talking to him, and Sean throws the banana peel into the trash.
Lou, keeping his anger and laughter under control, deliberately says, “Pick. Up. That. Banana.”
Sean rolls his eyes and picks it up. It’s one of the funniest moments in the film, tells you everything you need to know about the two characters’ relationship, and was entirely improvised by two great actors."

Moderator (as a studio exec): Sam had a girlfriend, shouldn’t Frodo have a girlfriend?
Sean Astin: Some people would say Sam is Frodo‘s girlfriend! 
Has anyone else noticed how often Sean seems to be saying stuff like this lately? It says if he’s obsessed with Sam/Frodo!

Truth.
Rereading the Lord of the Rings series recently, and it's so fascinating to me how much the series is a denial of the typical juvenile power-fantasy that is associated with the fantasy genre.
Like, the power-fantasy is the temptation the Ring uses against people It tempts Boromir with becoming the "one true king" that could save his people with fantastic power. It tempts Sam with being the savior of Middle Earth and turning the ruin that is Mordor into a great garden. It tempts Gandalf and Galadriel with being the messianic figure of legend who brings salvation to Middle Earth and great glory to herself.
The things the Ring tempts people with are becoming the typical protagonists of fantasy stories that we expect to see. and over and over we see that accepting that role, that fantasy of being the benevolent all-powerful hero, is a bad thing. LotR is about how power, even power wielded with benevolent intent, is corrupting.
And its so fascinating how so much of modern fantasy buys into the very fantasy LotR denies. Most modern fantasy is about being that Heroic power-fantasy. About good amassing power to rival evil. But LotR dares not to. It dares to be honest that there is no world where anyone amasses that power and remains good.
I guess that's one of the reasons its so compelling.
