The Lord of the Rings franchise is the third highest grossing film series in the world. It also has a large income due to the various companies who chose to create action figures and other forms of merchandise. The opening for this particular film starts with the origins of Gollum/ Smeagle. They are found to be fishing on an idilic countryside river. This could represent the two's blossoming frienship. After Deagle falls off the boat he finds a ring. This is the ONE Ring. The murky water represents the upcoming corruption which is about to consume the two friends. The whole of the film is really about the final journey of Gollum and this beginning bit is really summarising how Smeagle became Gollum.
