Well, I wasn't sure if this topic belonged in the Movies section or N & N, but since the Movies is down I'll put it here.

In RotK, when Gollum fell into Mount Doom's crevice, he was gobbled up instantly by the lava. However, the Ring stayed on the surface for a time. Was this a symbolisation of the temptation of the Ring for Frodo? Was it a last resort from Sauron to avoid destruction? Or was it just nothing at all?

What do you guys think?
