Evolution of Boromir...
“Gondor has no king. Gondor needs no king”
“For the lords of Gondor returned”
“My brother. My captain. My king”
This is where he starts to accept Aragorn, I wonder if the hope he was shown by Galadriel was Aragorn as future king, to restore the kingdom's glory would also mean to restore its dynasty
yes
@@przemysawgraca7893 I think that is a good possibility, but I also think part of the reason he failed to see hope is because it is (also) within him to take the actions to help lead to the destruction of the ring and Sarumon.
Gondor needs a King to restore the strength of men
@@Will.Flavell io
Galadriel trying to give Boromir hope hits harder when you realize she knows he is succumbing to the temptation of the ring.
She's not just trying to be compassionate. She knows the ring is corrupting him through his desperation to save his people, and she's trying to help him resist.
I've never seen it like that. Thank you
He is not a scumbag for being tempted. She also was tempted but he seems to find ur the most difficult to resist. In the end he made up for that, and he was a hreat man who struggled more than most.
@Jake Mcnamee Definitely not a scumbag. He's a noble man who sees his kingdom and its people on the brink of destruction and is desperate to protect them.
(Just being clear in case "succumbing" looked like "scumbag" in my original comment. 😁)
I am sorry for responding so fast and misreading your comment.
I gave in to rash action to defend a character I'm sympathetic towards
@@jakemcnamee9417 No apology necessary! It was a good comment and in defense of a good character.
It's amazing with Howard Shore's music and Sean Bean's acting how it feels as if you're taken into the realm of Gondor. Without the scene actually cutting visually to the Realm. That theme.
I love so much Howard Shores music!
@@_TheOneRing_ Yes! You can sense in his music the knowledge of the ages of this world. The awareness of the Lost Tales, The Silmarillion and the Trilogy are felt within the composition. Especially when you hear the lyrics in Quenya.
@@LandStrider23 Howard Shores Middle Earth music is part of my life.
The seamless transition from the Elves' Lament for Gandalf to the Gondor theme is so perfect.
Enough to bring a tear to a grown man's eyes.
There is no character in this entire saga who was not perfectly cast, but by God, Sean Bean you magnificent human being, I salute you.
Get a life!
He is such a versatile and remarkable actor 👏👏👏❤️
respect
Great English actor
Celeborn was not so good, seemed like he was on tranquilizers the whole time
Aragorn is essentially faultless, Gimli is a comic relief, Legolas is an Elf. Boromir is the most relatable character in the Lord of the Rings
Correction: Legolas is the heartthrob of every girl who watches this film XD
I disagree about Aragorn. Like Boromir says, Aragorn runs from his destiny and always trusts the elves, never having faith in his own people due to his forefather screwing them over
I always hated that they did that with Gimli, Tolkien made it very clear he was a fierce and noble dwarven warrior of Durins line He wasn't a jokester he was a bad-ass
@@MrKingYuji For many I'd think that makes him seem even more faultless. Turning down kingship gives the impression of being humble, or focused on what truly matters opposed to pursuing wealth and power.
@@Auso572 maybe in a different context. The context here is that Aragorn is ashamed of his lineage and is not stepping up out of fear of himself
I really like how Boromir says "the lords of Gondor", he is at very least recognizing that Aragorn is a brother.
By "the lords of Gondor" I believe he is referring to the line of kings. So here he is esentially saying "when we get to Gondor, the tower guard will hail you as king, and it will give the people hope"
@@Sapoman2211they're both lords and Boromir is referring to both of them (nobles of Gondor).
It's heartbreaking that Boromir never got to see the glory of Gondor restored.
Aragorn reassured him.
No but his faith was.
The part where he says “The Lords of Gondor have Returned.” Has me shedding tears. Boromir never got to return home. 😭
It breaks me too. Also in The Two Towers when he says "Remember today, little brother" to Faramir, cause we know they will never see each other again. :'(
...he did return home...home in a coffin boat with the horn...
@@hypnos3000 that is so sad Poor Boromir, he died like Thorin Oakenshield
“They will look for his coming from the White Tower. But he will not return.” - Aragorn :’[
_"The River had taken Boromir son of Denethor, and he was not seen again in Minas Tirith, standing as he used to stand upon the White Tower in the morning. But in Gondor in after-days it long was said that the elven-boat rode the falls and the foaming pool, and bore him down through Osgiliath, and past the many mouths of Anduin, out into the Great Sea at night under the stars."_
Boromir, a man who has an entire kingdom's future on his shoulders and it's presented with the very thing that would save It (not really,but thats how the Ring presents itself) gives in to temptation yet comes to his senses at once, regaining his honor by fighting a horde of essentialy elite orcs and handing their asses to them,at the cost of his life while trying to protect his friends, and he STILL gets shit for It...
i think only a small portion of people think ill of Boromir, most of them would be people uninitiated in Tolkien's works and who have only seen the Theatrical cut.
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.
Not really. He gets shit for saying "one does not simply walk into Mordor" which Frodo and Sam did eventually.
@@azralia4265 Actually they skulked their way in to Mordor. There is a HUGE difference between walking and skulking. In the end Boromir was correct.
@@azralia4265 And he said simply, it wasn't simple. Was actually quite difficult I think
Only absolute idiots think ill of boromir. People who only have a movie baseline for him. And even in the movie he redeems himself. 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.
You can tell the anxiety is destroying Boromir but as soon as he speaks about the past glory of Gondor, it slowly floats away.
I love the dialogue and the passion in Boromir's voice.
Now thats soldering.
Sean Bean is a great actor
I get lost in Sean Bean's eyes...the emotion in his voice

"Have you ever seen it Aragorn? The White Tower of Ecthelion glimmering like a Spike of pearl and silver. Its banners caught high in the morning breeze. Have you ever been called home by the clear ringing of silver trumpets?
One day Our paths will lead us there and the Tower guard will take up the call: The Lords of Gondor have Returned"
gives "Return of the King" so much more gravity
😭😭
Aragorn was like mf the king is gonna return!!!
Aragorn kept his promise to Boromir too: “I do not know strength is in my blood, but I will not let the White City fall, nor our people fail”
Such beautiful words 🌞
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. I must say though the writing of his character is also the key to this because in the books Aragorn is very one note and absolutely falls under the faultless hero archetype whereas the film trilogy gives him a character arc that’s very believable, syncs well with how his race have fallen and therefore has a lot more depth because of it.
Yes movie Aragorn is far better than Book Aragorn. I actually hate Book Aragorn lol
@@ItsSVOto be fair the books are written by the Hobbits, who very much see Aragorn or "strider" as the archetypical hero.
Boromir and Aragorn fighting side by side would’ve been too epic to handle.
They did against the Orcs
Still would have loved it. Wish Boromir made it home!
Aragorn was epic enough on his own
They already did that in Moria.
@@donaweasley5261he did make it home, just not alive
You can feel the immense pressure that has been put on Boromir. He truly wants the best for the men of middle earth
Viggo's acting in the first minute just says, 'Talk to me, man.' Not a word, just compassion. I could see him as a wise king.
It's depressing just how much of boromir's arc (and sean bean's incredible acting) got cut out of the original release before reading the books and seeing the extended cut i honestly thought boromir was just secretly evil the extended adds so much vital context to his character.
To be fair, this scene is in the theatrical cut. But I agree with your general premise as a whole, because there are more subtle things you see from Boromir that were left out.
Exactly. And damn near half of the denethor/faramir arc is cut out too. Literally the best most emotional arc in the series, really gives the movies some relatability, instead of mostly relying on the action and adventure aspect of the story
I feel like boromir in the theatrical cut is still a more fleshed out character than book boromir
@@CaseyLaarkamp This scene was not in the theatrical cut.
@@captainnutsack8151 Sorry, but you’re incorrect. It is in the theatrical cut. If you have HBOMax, you can check yourself like I just did. It starts at around the 2:16:00 time stamp.
I love the way the two complete each other's arcs. Aragon helps Boromir see that Gondor needs a king, and Boromir helps Aragon see that he is the one to do it 🤧
Boromir was the noble knight to the upcoming king Aragon.
I love this scene. Boromir opens up to Aragorn unlike he would to his own father. To my eyes, It shows that he already sees Aragorn as king of Gondor. Someone he can confide his troubles in.
Yeah, absolutely. Calling Aragorn a "lord of Gondor" says it all
He is SOOO close to tears.?..
I never really rated Sean Bean as an actor , believing him to be simply an action hero. (Yes, I love Sharp!)
But this is some of his very finest work. I never really trusted or liked Boromir in the book, but this scene , where he is so very close to tears, is magnificent.
@@Roheryn100 why not trust? without Boromir Gondor would have fallen long before LOTR
@@gaynzz6841 I really don’t know - perhaps because he was too close to the stereotyped Prince in Shining Armour? I always thought he had his own agenda. Bear in mind that I was 13 when I first read LOTR. I had to wait almost 36 years for Bean’s portrayal.
This is my favorite scene in the trilogy. I just think Sean Bean's performance, that twinkle in his eye, combined with the music is a transcendent experience.
It never fails to give me chills. I don't understand why some people think these movies are bad compared to the books.
Sean Bean is really a one-of-a-kind actor - and the perfect choice for Boromir.
It's both amazing and sad that this scene was a movie creation. I would have really loved to see Boromir have a character arc like this in the books
@@danieldasilva9829 how was he like in the books?
@@dhruvkapri4059 Imagine boromir here but with none of these types of emotional scenes. Just the ones in which he's lusting for the ring or complaining on which route their taking. Oh, and you don't even see his last stand.
This is arguably the single greatest acting scene ever by Sean Bean.
obviously haven't seen his Yorkshire tea adverts. "MOST OF ALL DO IT FOR YORKSHIRE"!
His role in sharp tho
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.
Yess man! I just wanted Boromir to say come on Aragorn come home! Put aside the ranger, but guess that job was left to Elron.
The thing I always took from the Fellowship movies, was the evolution of Aragorn. He would rather have kept Rangering, being with Arwen. But it was becoming clearer and clearer, he HAD to step up, for everyone's sake. Whether he liked it or not.
I like how in this scene, everything you just said can be summed up by the look in his eyes. Phenomenal acting!
The reluctant king is often the best one
@@J78Kio the king who takes his failings as a person into account
Metaphor for the white working class in Western country's
Gandalf’s fall was the first time he had to step up and take charge, because no one else could do it.
This is a real palate cleanser after the dreck which is "The Rings of Power". Brilliant acting, writing, directing, camera work, etc. Everyone in involved in these movies was at the top of their game.
Aint that the truth.
1:44 His hair
His face
His facial expression
His speech pattern
His voice tone
Matches so much with FARAMIR .
What a cast you put up my dear PETER JACKSON.
I love you and thank you for LOTR.
Yeap. Aragorn and Sam maybe my favorites, but Faramir is the one I personally identify with the most. No matter the intent of his heart, he is guilty in his father's eyes. All three, Boromir, Faramir, and Aragon carry great burdens but Faramir is never given a fair hand by the one he faithfully serves.
They looked like real brothers in that one extended scene yeah
And his character became more like Faramir in these moments, also when he gave his life to defend the hobbits later
“She said to me: ‘Even now there is hope left.’ But I cannot see it. It is long since we had any hope.”
Probably for others as well, but this hits really personally for me. It really hurts. The encouragement of and want for hope and yet not being able to feel it.
Would have loved to have seen boromir fighting at aragorns side to defend Minas tirith
play battle for middle earth and you can do exactly that
It hurts to think about how if Boromir had somehow survived Amon Hen, like if he had just worn his shield, he would have gone on to Rohan with Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli to find Merry and Pippin and been a part of their whole iconic adventure.
@@TheMonkeygoneape God yes I remember. The first time I played that mission as a kid and I saw it. Bonus objective: Save Boromir. I was like "No way, I -must- save him, -this- time it's gonna be different."
And while he does not get any further dialogue, it is nice to see that he joined Aragorn and company to go after Merry and Pippin, ends up at Helm's Deep, and then returns home to Gondor early with Gandalf and Pippin.
@@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 Dude probably has Trauma, even if he were to live and see the end of the war, he would not know how to live in peace.
This scene is literally a king sitting down and listening to one of his soldier and allowing him to be vulnerable for once in his life
0:54 Isn’t it amazing how a few notes from Howard Shore took us from Lothlorien to Minas Tirith?
👏🏼 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️
Do you know the name of the song in the soundtrack?
even tho Boromir was technically only in one film out of the trilogy, he was always my favorite character.
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.
1:20 that look on Aragorn when he is listening to Boromir is killing me, it was in this moment where he felt that it is his people and it is his duty to save it but still in doubt after, until he realized it at Boromir departure.
I think Boromir’s death was the personal rebuke that Aragorn had for himself. Seeing this man of minor nobility willing to fight and give his life so that Gondor would survive. Something that until that moment Aragorn had never considered. Boromir tried to be exactly what Aragorn should have been.
@@mr.hawklingiii8739 Minor nobility? Are you high?
@@adlerzwei compared to aragorn ....
@@mr.hawklingiii8739 correct, in boromirs final stand he saw the strength in men where previously he’d only seen the failures, it’s very good writing.
@@TheMryakoubi nah bro, the stewards of gondor have high numenorean blood. they may not have the royal numenorean blood, but it would be wrong to just say that they are of minor nobility
Boromir only wanted the Ring to protect and defend his people. He didn’t want it to lord over other peoples. His heart was in the right place and this scene just makes him so much more sympathetic. You feel like giving him a hug here.
This theme comes back in its full glory in the third film when Aragorn receives Anduril and accept that he's the king.
I personally love how in the movies they waited to give Aragorn the sword until Return of the king. Symbolizing that he’s accepting his role as king. Also that there was no other option, he couldn’t run from his destiny any longer. But yes this is one of my favorite scenes in the trilogy
Sean Bean is such an amazing actor.
Incredibly underrated, as unbelievable as that might seem.
I can't stop watching this scene, the acting Sean Bean summons is truley captivating. The expressions, his restless movements, the tear tracks in the dirt on Borimir's face, the quiver he tries to keep from his voice. The quiet respect Aragorn shows him. How boromir says he cannot see hope, but then dares to believe that Aragorn, not himself, could return hope to his people.
Boromir is much maligned for his actions, and to be fair rightly so. But this is the scene that makes me say that any of us would be lucky to have the strength he shows.
Yeah, they definitely don't write scenes like that anymore...
I love this mournful version of the Gondor/Narsil theme, especially how it eventually contrasts with Aragorn unsheathing Anduril for the first time.
This scene is beautiful, Aragorn realizing something troubles Boromir and going over to inquire, Boromir opening up and subconsciously knowing and accepting the truth about Aragorn and sharing this moment with him as fellow brothers knowing that it might be the last moment he may share with him in this way.
What a masterclass in exposition. World-building the majestic presence of Minas Tirith two films before actually revealing it in its full glory. 💯
When you become a man, you truly begin to see the pressure of expectations you have deal with each day. Boromir was a noble man
The moment when Aragorn realizes that becoming King isn't just about Arwen. If even Boromir, for all his rank and skill as a warrior, is so worried and hopeless, how must the common folk feel? Who will save them when even Boromir acknowledges that his father is losing his control and Boromir himself knows not what to do? This is when it is made clear that Aragorn needs to be who he is. Not for himself, or for Arwen, but for everybody.
So much depth in these movies, amazing
Indeed
Howard Shores Music is absolutely masterpiece !
Same tune in the hobbit. Music of Kings
I don't know but every time I see this scene with boromir monologue about the gondors glory I am thinking about the past glory of my country greece....
Sean Bean delivers his lines with so much passion, so much love, that you can see Gondor before you as he speaks. Now THAT is acting. This is what happens when an actor treats a fairy-tale like a Shakespearean drama.
1:57 That little smirk as he imagines for a second him riding through the gates of minas tirith,boromir beside him. And the Tower guard announcing that the king has returned. Only for him to quickly fall back to not feeling ready.
That speech with great music...masterpiece
Yes
If only Boromir was there to see Aragorn be crowned king of Gondor 😞😭
Knowing Tolkien, LotR's philosophy and the lore, I'm sure Boromir did.
"Even now there is hope left. But I cannot see it. Its long since we had any hope" says Boromir infront of Aragorn who's name literally means Hope (Estel). I love how they are talking about the return of the king to Gondor. Its shocking how no one has noticed this until now
DAMN.
Great catch.
0:54 this music is amazing. I wish I could just listen to it on an endless loop. But it's a tiny part of one track, the rest of which sounds completely different.
0:32 When Boromir said "Even now there is hope left, but I cannot see it", the ironic thing is that he was staring at that hope in the face. That hope was Aragorn.
And remember in Aragon’s own words, there is always hope.
You can almost see Minas Tirith in Boromir's eyes as he speaks of it.
Forever a lotr fan.
Heart breaking to think about if Boromir had survived and got to do great things with Aragorn as King
After decades of watching this I just noticed that he is actually crying in this scene
You're right! I've been reading the script for the movie and there was another instance of crying while Aragorn was talking about "The Song of Beren and Lúthien"
"What happened to her?"
"She died."
Strider sighs. His face bears remorse as he turns to Frodo.
"Get some sleep, Frodo."
Frodo nods and lays back down.
Strider turns back to his vigil and looks up at the moon. His
eyes are brimming with tears.
tfw never been called home by the clear ringing of silver trumpets
This, in my opinion, is the single most beautiful 1 minute of music in the trilogy, and quite possibly in the history of film scoring
The music in this scene is literally some of the best, most beautiful music I've ever heard in my life! Even as kid watching this at 13 yrs old in 2002, this music and this scene would always choke me up, every time!
Glory of Gondor!
One of my favorite scenes from the entire triology, Sean Bean is amazing as Boromir.
Boromir's strongest scene, showing his true heroism, if it was undiluted by his obligation to satisfy his flawed father. The lines were delivered beautifully by Bean.
When I first heard this description from Boromir as a child, I was in awe. I could only hope that they went to Gondor at some point. It took me many years and many rewatches to realize that Gandalf rode to Gondor and we got a preview of it. I could not see it as it was shown in a golden yellow light. When I saw ROTK, i first saw it on DVD as I was still young. But seeing the White City when Gandalf rode over that horizon. The chills I got when the horns sounded off. Still can't describe that feeling. In that moment, I realized Boromir was right. It is a beautiful city indeed.
The music starting at "My father is a noble man" might honestly be my favorite piece of music from the whole trilogy...which is saying a lot.
Fully agree! It is so moving. The texture of those French horns is perfect.
What’s it called?
@@General_Cheese6 It is the leitmotif associated to the White Tree and the King of Gondor. Subtle use is the crown of flowers (Kingsfoil) on a beheaded king, but is commonly heard during the reforging of Narsil and reveal of Andúril. Also the crowning of Aragorn.
Same. My other quiet favorite is the Fellowship theme subtly being played as Frodo says, “ here at the end of all things”.
@@scolioreset Yep, this is the first time we hear the king’s theme. It’s subdued and unresolved, reflecting Aragorn’s inner doubt.
You can visit anywhere in the world but there is truly no place like home.
This is among one of my favourite scenes of the trilogy. You can really see the inner struggles of Boromir. His desire to protect his people and the love of his homeland from the seemingly unbeatable darkness that looms ever closer towards it. Sean Bean really does a phenomenon job.
Boromir and Thorin are relateble in a since…both wore the burden of their homelands and wanted to see them restored but fell to corruption in the process.
Sean bean is a fabulous actor. Very underrated
Can you feel the caress of that wind sound...
I'm so glad the extended editions exist. Best director cuts of all time.
Aragorn and Boromir is like Arnor and Gondor talking!
Man Sean’s acting really made me patriotic for Gondor. That’s how good his acting was.
Rewatching this I break every time when Boromir puts his hand on Aragorns shoulder while talking about "the lords of Gondor". He aknowledges Aragorn as a "lord of Gondor" and so aknowledges Aragorn's claim for Gondor. This is quite something knowing that if he does he loses his claim as the Heir of Denethor.
Having Boromir acknowledge Aragorn's kingship with his dying breath is something I wish Tolkien had put in the original novel.
@@dimasgirl2749 I believe Faramir also calls him lord the moment he wakes up after being healed.
"Suddenly Faramir stirred, and he opened his eyes, and he looked on Aragorn who bent over him; and a light of knowledge and love was kindled in his eyes, and he spoke softly. 'My lord, you called me. I come. What does the king command?’"
I don't think I've ever seen a better actor then Sean bean in this especially the extended
He is severely underrated despite being a big name.
This scene always breaks my heart
First time I watched his death scene I hoped after the first arrow that it would be like last action hero, and by some film logic he'd be okay
This trilogy is perfect 10/10, straight epicness from the get go. Once in a lifetime trilogy.
This dialogue is top tier
Sean Bean is an amazing actor
Indeed
On of the very few things I can criticise of this Trilogy, which is otherwise perfect, is the amount of scenes with Sean Bean that they cut from the theatrical versions. His acting is superb.
This scene wasn’t cut though and it’s his best.
THIS is what popular culture needs for men. Them being vulnerable, exposing their insecurities and weaknesses to friends and fellows. Not in open, grand speeches meant to rally. But in personal conversations, where they espouse their doubts and are reassured by those they trust. What a beautiful scene. I don’t know if the Shakespearean speech makes this more impactful than reality, but I do know its impact on other men. An extremely powerful moment; not in front of an army, not in front of their party, but before a close friend.
I think Sean Bean's best scene is when he's addressing his people in Gondor
it is long since we’ve had any hope
Boromir is my favourite character. Props to Sean Bean for his amazing performance
Gondor would be unstoppable if they've boromir and faramir together.😢
Boromir is my favorite character in the trilogy. He is such a great tragic hero, that you rude for, but at the same time feels frustrated about his temptations. He is probably the most human of all the characters in The Lord of the Rings.
Hearing how Boromir talks about his home always gets me misty eyed. He truly did love his people,family and city.
@@Sgt.Dornan117 I agree!
To an extent, I would say everybody can relate to Boromir in one way or another, whether they want to admit it or not.
@@bighand1530 True
When you watched extended two towers scene with boromir and faramir this scene hits harder.
I loved his character so much, you couldnt believe my shock when joffery said the words " BRING ME HIS HEAD"
...Have you ever been called home by the clear ringing of silver trumpets?...
Imagine.. watching this.. and then you get Rings Of Power dialog.
All is lost.
This is one trilogy where the extended versions are a must.
This isn’t an extended scene, it’s in the theatrical release.
@@ItsSVO fool of a took! I just said they are a must.
Funny how Legolas was my favorite when I was a kid and now it's Boromir.
I believe that Legolas is what I aspire to be, but Boromir is closer to who I truly am.
Boromir fighting at helms deep would be amazing
Imagine hearing the Horn of Gondor during battle of Hornburg
The history of Constantinopolis was like Minas Tirith, with the last Emperor, Constantine Paleologos IX though he sought allies, found none, though he sought religious commonality with the West, was unable to convince his people. At the end, there was nothing left but to take off his badges of royal rank, and charge as a common soldier into the breach pounded into the walls of Theodosius by Turkish cannon.
Sad thing is most people have no idea what your talking about
I've thought about this same thing often.
one day the people shall take up the cry, that the lords of Constantinople have returned.
A great great travesty, how the West failed Constantinople 😩
@@adamcampbell743 Huge L
Scene makes me cry every time even knowing fully well what awaits him in the nearest future. 😭
The music that starts @ 0:52 is just wow. Glorious.
God these movies will never be surpassed.
God its heartbreaking watching him talk of his love for his kingdom, family, country and its people, knowing he would never see any of it again 😢
boromir, the ring was such a great temptation for him not because he was inherently evil, but because of his desire to save 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
@@alyjahzavisa2506 the greatest harm can come from the most noble intentions
Hes such a tragic figure. Honestly Boromir is my favorite along with Theoden :(
Best character in the entire franchise.
The horn in this scene adds so much weight to his words. The attention to detail is inspiring.
Boromir: My father is a noble man...
Faramir: Uh...
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
