    Galadriel trying to give Boromir hope hits harder when you realize she knows he is succumbing to the temptation of the ring.

      Anyone who has read the books or even just seen the Extended cut of The Fellowship will almost universally agree, that while he stumbled and may have fell, he was not without tremendous guilt. he then channelled that in his last moments to defend 2 Hobbits, 2 small people who were just along for the ride. He literally died defending the common folk, and that is what a true hero does.

He felt the pressure of the entire kingdom of Gondor to save and gave into the temptation of one of the most powerful beings to ever exist in arda. Yet he immediately recognized his mistake and sacrificed himself to protect the weak and defenseless. As Aragorn told him he fought bravely and kept his honor.

    The subtle sadness that Viggo Mortensen brings to his portrayal of Aragorn is just perfect. He's tough as nails mentally and physically, but he's soft-spoken and you can tell that so much lurks beneath. Such an intriguing character. If it had been the wrong actor, I could see the character being a boring "hero" archetype. But he really brought so much to the character without making it super obvious.

      Honestly in my eyes casting Viggo was for the best. Seldom have I heard of an actor so dedicated to his role as Viggo..have it been someone else it would just be done to be "over with" and not put the portrayal and character we see from him
      Before Viggo got cast, who was the 3rd and last choice of casting (or so I heard) these were some of the actors who auditioned
      Stuart Townsend - Townsend was the one who was actually cast in the part before Viggo came. He did two months of training and got to film all of one or two days before Peter realized he’d made a mistake in casting such a young actor.
      Russell Crowe - some lines would be delivered in soft, pained murmurs, punctured by smatterings of full-throated roars
      Nicolas Cage - Peter offered the role to Cage early in the movie
      Vin Diesel - Diesel auditioned for the role, though he was never offered the part

      I agree.

    Boromir was a man with the weight of an entire kingdom on his shoulders, oldest son of Steward Denethor II, an ailing man trying to hold a crumbling nation together. It is no wonder he sought a means of power like the Ring, watching daily as Sauron and Mordor picked and nibbled at Gondor’s ever-shrinking borders. You can see he is desperately trying to convince Aragorn to take his rightful place on the throne, hence why he mentions the beauty of Minas Tirith. He is pleading for someone to intervene and lead Gondor in their darkest hour. He will do his best, but deep down he knows he is not that man, no matter how much he might wish he was.

      @@AirsoftTim92 The shield would have saved him in the film but that’s only because there was only one Uruk Hai with arrows in the film. In the books Boromir iirc DOES have his shield but he is facing a literal small army of Uruks and Orcs (over 100, and this is after he has already faced and defeated a smaller group), and many of them have arrows, so he couldn’t block them all. Also I assume they surrounded him and overwhelmed him since IIRC his sword shield and horn all end up broken. He did manage to kill at least 20 of them before he went down though even though he had a bunch of arrows in him.

    What really fascinates me about this scene is how visibly unsettled and disturbed Boromir is by dint of just sitting in what is essentially a Heaven-like realm. It's as if the darkness inside him is being pricked by the raw goodness of his immediate environment. Only when he begins to talk of matters of hope and cooperation (essentially noble and idealistic values) does he stop being jittery. If that was all intentional direction by Jackson, then bravo.

      I think he is unsettled by how totally alien is the sheer peacefulness of the elvish realm to him, whose life was naught by war of survival against insurmountable odds.
      He is jittery and disturbed because for all he cares, every day he is away from the frontline, he can't be with his men and fight alongside them. On some emotional level he feels like he is abandoning them, and is determined to ensure his absence would be the most beneficial to Gondor.

    The Fellowship is so masterfully written. The entire journey is about arriving at lands that each member of the fellowship can sing it's praises about. Gimli took the lead in Moria and boasted about how great these halls once were (Now they are empty and overrun with evil). Then Leglolas takes the lead in Lorien and boasts about being the only one worthy of witnessing it (As it's splendor is fading and will be the last anyone will see of it). Even Aragorn gets a moment to marvel at the Argonath. The entire time Boromir is begging the fellowship to make way to Gondor, but he never has the opportunity to show it to them. Well, it took until Amon Hen to finally figure out, that Boromir brought Gondor with him.

How boromir says he cannot see hope, but then dares to believe that Aragorn, not himself, could return hope to his people.

      It took me a while to realize this. Hence why when trying to take the ring from Frodo he says “I only ask for the ability to defend my people!” Or something to that extent. He was the most human-like character in the fellowship, with the weight of his kingdom on his shoulders

      Hes such a tragic figure. Honestly Boromir is my favorite along with Theoden :(

    The horn in this scene adds so much weight to his words. The attention to detail is inspiring.

      I think Boromir remembers how his father used to be before the palantir destroyed his mind. Or at least, he wants to remember his father that way because he believes that man still lurks inside him somewhere.

      Actually book and movie Denethor differ vastly. Book Denethor was a man of strength and conviction, willing to stand against the tides of Mordor at all costs. It is only as the city is gradually destroyed and their enemies continue to mount on all sides, that he finally gives into hopelessness and kills himself. Movie Denethor was just a selfish prick who would rather see Gondor burn to the ground than give up his position of authority, especially given he was pissed that the Heir of Isildur (Aragorn) never came forward sooner as Gondor was on the verge of collapse.

      Well.... Denethor was very... very....
      Let's just call him "noble" to make his elder son happy and his younger son cry, shall we? Oh, goodness...
      I will say, though, that Denethor was losing his mind towards the ends of the series, never having been able to recover from the loss of Boromir and all of the other losses he had suffered, but he was indeed more noble than what he presented as.

      He was at one stage of his life but he put everything on boromir which is why he gave so little credence to faramir
