*As the image above depicts, Frodo often looks... off at certain points in the film. In that particular scene, his expression looks like he's screaming in horror, when in actuality he only lets out a quiet Gasp when Gandalf tosses the Ring into the fire. There are also several scenes, including that one, where Frodo leaves his mouth wide open for little-to-no discernable reason.

Almost he seemed to have forgotten Frodo, while his talk dwelt on walls and weapons, and the mustering of men; and he drew plans for great alliances and glorious victories to be; and he cast down Mordor, and became himself a mighty king, benevolent and wise." That sounds incredibly long-winded, like it would have taken up several minutes at least. One can imagine Frodo trying to keep up, before disappearing out of sheer boredom while Boromir was talking about trebuchets.
