True he doesn’t hold it as long as Frodo, Gollum or Bilbo but given how exhausted he is at this point of the journey and the ring itself being so close to Sauron. However, the best part is that Sam overcomes the temptation. While there the ring (at nearly full power) tries to tempt Sam with thoughts of being a king with the power to overwhelm Mordor and turn it into a paradise garden. There is an entire sequence when Sam finds the ring and takes it to try and complete the mission assuming Frodo is lost.
Now these are great no doubt, but I feel like a really important moment was missing. Admittedly they did include a number of great moments like his speech in “The Two Towers” about the great stories that really mattered or when he carries Frodo up Mt. Some of it is in the live-action version and a little bit more in the extended cut, but not much. He is, for me, the hero of the stories-the ordinary man.” The entire first half of the Rankin/Bass “Return of the King” is almost completely dedicated to him and trying to save Frodo from the Orc tower. “It is Sam who is chosen by Gandalf it is Sam who supports Frodo after he gets the Morgul knife it is Sam who distrusts Gollum. However, I as well as many other people (including the late Sir Christopher Lee) consider the real hero of the story to be none other than Samwise the Brave.
Most would say Frodo and at first glance it’s easy to see why.
This comes down to who you feel the real hero of “The Lord of the Rings” is.
