When Bilbo dropped the ring they used magnets underneath the floor so that it didn't bounce around but instead slams to a complete stop. I think Peter said they wanted to emphasise how much of a burden and weight it was to someone who carried it.

[liamdudeeee]

Carried the One Ring for decades and manged to leave it behind willingly.

[jemert]

Gandalf raising his voice for the first time, the whole room darkening and the house cracking is one of my favorite scenes

[naterk]

Sam: "Cast it into the fire, Frodo! Destroy it!"
Frodo: "I... I don't have it! I thought I had it on a necklace around my neck."
Bilbo: "Oh it's... still in my pocket..."

[Zincoshine-]

bilbo is the single most powerful person in middle earth, simply for being able to let go of the ring.

[BitestheStuff]

I love that he thinks of the ending for his book as soon as he drops the ring. Unloading that burden gave him an immediate sense of clarity.

“Goodbye, dear Bilbo”
Hits a little different now, doesn’t it?
RIP Ian Holm

3:09 In all of middle Earth, Bilbo was the only being to literally 'give up' a magic ring. He didn't give it to someone else to use (Cirdan to Gandalf) or pass it on as a heirloom (Thror to Thrain) He meant for Frodo to have it, yes, but the key point is he DROPPED it first. He didn't hand it over. He walked away from it. Bilbo left the Ring. I would say Bilbo was the strongest of all.

[justnoah]

Bilbo is easily the strongest character in terms of at least mind in this whole story. Men who only had the ring for a day couldn't give it up, they resorted to murder before losing it. Gollum became obsessed with the ring the day he got it, and over hundreds of years he was never able to give it up. Sauran couldn't give it up. Gandalf was so afraid of it's lure and powers he wouldn't even touch the ring, least he becomes like all the rest. Then Bilbo, who has had it for decades, just drops it on the floor and leaves.

"And he lived happily ever after, to the end of his days" really takes on a different tone now. Farewell Sir Ian Holm, you will be missed.

[makenatremblay]

It was so cute when Bilbo ran over to hug Gandalf

[dholley]

"BILBOOO BAGGINS!!!!" Gandalf said calmly.

[MrCreeepe]

"And he lived happily ever after, to the end of his days"
RIP Ian Holm 1931-2020

Bilbo Baggins is the best ever.. hes so kind, innocent, yet so strong.

[cybernautadventurer]

I never realised it when I first watched it, but 3:09 is truly the mightiest battle of the entire trilogy. Bilbo could easily have given into the ring, slipped it on his finger and disappeared out of Gandalf's sight.
But you can see on his face here his willpower literally overpowering that of the ring's (Sauron's).
He may have been a tiny man, but there's no denying Bilbo Baggins was the mightiest person to ever walk Middle Earth.

PS. it's ironic that Gandalf The Grey was the only person to actually witness the only person in history to give up the ring willingly, after holding onto it for so long. I think he really meant it when he said "And I'm sure you will, my dear friend."

[texas]

Who's here after the terrible news?

He really did live happily ever after, until the end of his days.

RIP Ian Holm.

Fun fact: Bilbo was not his only LoTR role. Ian Holm also provided the voice for Frodo in a 1980s radio play by the BBC.

[TimSter]

This scene for me as well as gollums transformation both show just how evil the ring itself is. Even after the outburst and recovery, bilbo STILL tries to deceive gandalf and then smirks nastily when he gets caught out. And yet bilbo is so honest and innocent.

[Fritobandito]

"Bilbo Baggins! Do not take me for some conjurer of cheap tricks, I'm not trying to rob you. I'm trying to help you."

[Noah-pcwq]

It's actually really easy to see Bilbo here as an older Martin Freeman
