Part 7/8:
Finally, Gollum’s turbulent journey to Mordor is superficially portrayed in the movies, leaving out significant events leading to his presence in the dark land. A retained connection to the Shire and the Shire folk, particularly through memories of them, enriches his tortured character. The details about Gollum's encounters and internal struggles are explored more completely in Tolkien's original work, providing essential context absent from the films.
