An interesting first line

I’d love to see the full manuscript, but I ran across this at RingFAQ.com.

FRODO (VOICE OVER)
When we turn away from the darkness of our past to take comfort in our peaceful lives, we sometimes forget how dearly that peace was bought. But there is much worth remembering in the darkness …

— The first line of Fellowship of the Ring,
from an early draft of the script

Now, I like the Galadriel VO (though I didn’t realize it was her when I first watched it). But this is interesting.

On the other hand, for those who don’t know about how the books end, knowing that Frodo actually survives might be something of a spoiler.

Still, neat.
