The thing that really makes it possible

is the fact that Gollum talks to himself all the time, so he can tell us what Bilbo realized without it feeling unnatural or exposition-y. And when we see Bilbo's expression change, we will understand what changed it because (hopefully) we just had that twinge of pity too.
This is one of those moments I hope really lives up to my internal movie. I can just picture Bilbo escaping Gollum, racing down the passage, dodging goblins and squeezing through the door with buttons flying. That should be a great scene too: cut from seeing Invisible Bilbo stuck and struggling in the doorway to a shot of the half-open door with buttons suddenly appearing in midair and falling all around the doorstep, with a few good goblin reaction shots. Yep, that will be worth cheering for!

"Of all faces those of our familiares are the ones both most difficult to play fantastic tricks with, and most difficult really to see with fresh attention. They have become like the things which once attracted us by their glitter, or their colour, or their shape, and we laid hands on them, and then locked them in our hoard, acquired them, and acquiring ceased to look at them.
Creative fantasy, because it is mainly trying to do something else [make something new], may open your hoard and let all the locked things fly away like cage-birds. The gems all turn into flowers or flames, and you will be warned that all you had (or knew) was dangerous and potent, not really effectively chained, free and wild; no more yours than they were you." -On Fairy Stories

Film is a visual medium. A filmmaker should not, I judge,
