      I love Boromir and Frodo’s relationship. There is an obvious break in trust between them because of Boromir’s actions, and they essentially part ways as enemies. But they do care for each other and think of each other fondly. Boromir sheds actual tears when he realizes what he’s done, and feels guilt to the point of willingly laying down his life as repentance, while Frodo tells Faramir - before learning the news - that if Boromir were dead, hypothetically, he would grieve.

      While they were traveling over the snowy mountain. "This will be the death of the little ones!"
      When the giant squid let go of Frodo, Boromir was there to catch him and carry him into the mines.
      As they were fleeing the Balrog, it was Boromir that grabbed a hold of Merry and Pippin and jumped with them over the collapsing bridge.
      It was Boromir that asked Aragon to give them a moment for pity's sake when they mourned Gandalf's fall.
      It was Boromir that talked to Frodo about not carrying the weight of the dead. Pushing his own despair to the side to try and help Frodo cheer up.
      Frodo knew who Boromir was, and that the one that attacked him was just a other victim of the damned Ring.
      And yes this is all from the movies, was just a kid when I read the books, don't remember the books very well.

      That prolonged moment of realization and sobbing into such a desperate cry for forgiveness is bloody harrowing, especially concidering Boromir up to that point had done his utmost to protect the Halflings from whatever danger came their way.
      It hammers home just how evil the Ring is, turning him-for a moment- against the "little ones" who he seemed to have a special bond with.

    Boromir's "transformation" in this scene is SO well done. He starts with genuine concern, moving to sympathy, moving to a desperate desire to protect his people, to a vicious desire to take the ring so quickly, but somehow so naturally. Talk about the road to hell paved in good intentions.

      And he only joined the fellowship/headed to Rivendell as a result of his father's lust of the Ring. Denethor wanted to validate his stewardship and was insecure about the fact he wasn't Gondor's rightful king. He likely believed the ring would provide the strength to rule as king.
      Regardless though, Boromir unfortunately paid the price.

      The Ring partially embodies that: It *seeks* good intentions, it preys on and awaits for them, because the most obvious thing to do with a power such as the One Ring is to use it against the enemy. But if it was so simple, it would have been done a long time ago. It will bury your good intentions. It will turn you into the desired tool that will pave your road, but point you in the direction towards hell, knowing where to go where you don’t.

    As a kid, I hated Boromir because I thought he was evil from the start. But when I got older, I realized how wrong I was. He was never evil, he was just taken advantage of by the Ring and it fueled his insecurities and he gave into temptation. He was desperate to save his country because they were literally on Mordor's doorstep and Denethor put all the responsibility on him and the pressure was too much for him. I kept forgetting that the Ring is an actual sentient being that easily tempts people in turmoil. The Ring knew how to exploit him and it almost won but thankfully Boromir's true will realized what he was doing. I only wish Frodo knew that he didn't mean to attack him.

      Yeah the ring casts a spell on people's minds that amplifies and makes them a slave to all their fears and inner conflict. And they end up viewing having possession the ring as the only possible source of re-empowerment and liberation from those fears. To put it simply, it draws its power from the disempowerment of everyone in its vicinity.

    @ThePhychoHero 2 роки тому +319

    The problem with having a big heart like Boromir's is that with all that love and desire to do good comes an unspeakable, crippling fear of failure and loss. The ring seized on that. It tore at his insecurities and anxieties until it was like a gaping, painful wound in his chest. The pain was so great that, like a wild animal, he lashed out to drive it away. Only when Boromir came back to his senses did he realize just what he had done, and that his fear had been made manifest by nothing else but his own actions.

      @MrGiselbart 5 місяців тому +2

      @@luckyspurs Mhm, it's not that Aragorn didn't have empathy, after all, Gandalf was his oldest friend. Yet Aragorn was also a practical man that could set his grief aside until it was the time for it. In the movie it is described as just " by nightfall these hills will be crawing with orcs" but in the books it's written that orcs would often chase a foe for miles into the open plains to avenge the death of a chieftain, which Aragorn had killed in the Chamber of Secrets in Moria. So they had to get out of there and reach Lothlorien. And in the book, a horde of orcs -did- end up chasing them all the way there, until the elves killed them.
      Still, that does not take away from Boromir's empathy in the slightest.

      Well actually he had to help calm and comfort Gimli who was in a fit of anger and sadness. It was him however who wanted to give the hobbits a moment to grieve in peace. It was also him who taught Merry and Pippin how to wield their weapons and it was him who grabbed them and kept across the gap in the stairs… and above all that he did follow Frodo here with the intention of providing some sort of protection to him and in the end when he was dying it was his first thought to ask where was Frodo and to inform Aragorn about Merry and Pippin getting abducted. His heart was always there for the lil folk of the shire. I think Boromir admired them in a way. He is a war hero who’s people unfortunately face a great threat imminently and when he sees the hobbits I truly believe he sees them as a representation of what he wants for his people. At least that’s how I see it. He sees them as jolly, comfortable, and hardy. All great qualities to have.

I absolutely LOVE how Sean Bean delivers this line, even when he is being corrupted by the Ring he is STILL thinking of others, and upon realizing what he had done, Boromir is genuinely distressed and ashamed of his own actions, and him shouting "FRODO! I'M SORRY!" is genuinely heartbreaking, but before he even has a chance to reconcile with Frodo, he's already in another perilous situation protecting 'the little ones', even as he is shot by three arrows, he continues to fight, protecting Mary & Pippin knowing fully well that this would be his last stand.
    While Boromir may have faltered, temporarily corrupted by the Ring's temptation, he dies a hero, protecting his Hobbit friends, and finally accepting Aragorn as "My brother... my captain... my king".

      Fan fact, for those who never read the books, originally Faramir was supposed to go to Rivendell since there never was an invitation, only Faramir had vivid dreams in two different occasions, showing him Rivendell, but didn't say anything, only after Boromir had the dream once, he went there, meaning that the Valar wanted Faramir in the fellowship and not Boromir.

      Which ultimately saves all four of the halflings in the group. His sacrifice for Merry & Pippin made them seem pragmatically important to the Orcs; it’s precisely what made them assume Merry & Pippin were the ones with the Ring. Why else would this great warrior of Gondor lay down his life to defend these two little creatures? The Orcs cannot comprehend love and affection. Thus they took Merry & Pippin alive and then went in the opposite direction of Frodo & Sam. Without Boromir’s grand gesture, the Orcs would’ve just killed Merry & Pippin and kept searching the forest until they inevitably found Frodo & Sam.

      I disagree. He portrayed Boromir in a much - MUCH - more likeable way than Tolkien wrote him. It's clear to me that Tolkien thought very little of Boromir as a person. Sure, he's a gallant fighter, but he's also the first one to complain when something's going wrong on the quest. He's the one who doubts Gandalf and Aragorn, he's pompous about his heritage and his people. The film version keeps those things, but also gives him moments where he genuinely bonds with the others. He comforts Gimli after Gandalf's death, he saves Frodo from the Watcher, he looks after Merry and Pippin several times as a foreshadow to his sacrifice for them. It's a much more rounded portrayal.

    Shows the power of the ring quite well in this scene. Boromir does want strength and power but with the intention of protecting his people. His actual ambition is good. So the ring uses that to call to Boromir, not unlike a demon presenting itself as an angel, promising what you most desire to hook you, then taken control of you. The cruelty of this ring is chilling. It uses you against you, then corrupts you to its own end.

    You know, as a kid I never really liked Boromir?

It's only when I grew up that I understood and realized that Boromir is one of the best characters. We all like to think we'd be like Aragorn and Gandalf, wise and humble, rejecting the ring because we know better. But I think we're most like Boromir. We'd think we could handle the ring and destroy ourselves. He's such a sad and well-written character with a noble heart.

      Boromir is more of a realistic target. We can all become great men like Boromir, it won't be easy, and it will take a long time. But we will still have weaknesses, things that can be exploited by others.

      Well Gollum was only there because Frodo spared his life. The Ring’s will was always going to overpower the will of someone who tried to destroy it directly. This is why its destruction could only happen indirectly, via Gollum’s insatiable greed for it. But only Frodo could’ve gone as far as he did and managed to fight back against the Ring until the very last possible moment. It was Frodo’s actions and choices that ensured the Ring’s destruction. Hard to believe some people still can’t see this and hate on Frodo. The Ring’s breaking of Frodo’s will was inspired to the brutal torture that broke many of Tolkien’s captured colleagues during the war. Tolkien himself said in a letter that he didn’t see how anyone could be blamed or declared morally responsible for breaking under unbearable torture.

As would be the case for anyone in his position. Y’all keep making these unwarranted personal attacks on Frodo just because of something he simply no longer had the strength to control.

    Sean Bean really showed his range as an actor, going through so many different emotions all at once as desperation overtook Boromir and shame overtook him as he realized he was wrong to try to take the ring from Frodo.

    The physical sets and props--incluing the "bigatures" that were actually built and filmed--are a huge part of the reason this trilogy holds up as well as it does. There's not as much CGI use as you might think in this trilogy, which is why it still looks good.

    Boromir is like the honest hero who falls to temptation but in the end redeems himself, whereas Aragorn is the perfect hero born into noble blood. I think Sean Bean is the perfect actor for Boromir.

      @@anarchonazbol6768 Aragorn did not get hold the ring directly, and being one of the best examples of Men, (He's the future king of Gondor ffs) in his era he had a greater willpower to resist the ring compared to other men. Frodo did well considering he had to bear the ring all the way to Mt. Doom, and only failed at the end because the ring was actively influencing Frodo to prevent its own demise.
      It was also theorised that the ring chose to focus on Boromir, who was the weakest spiritually out of those in the Fellowship of the Ring. The ring corrupted him and made him do things he normally would not.

    In the book, this scene is quite a bit longer with more dialogue. You can see Boromir slowly transform from a well-meaning warrior who just wants to protect his people into something almost like the Serpent in the Garden of Eden. He continues trying to reason with Frodo and answers every objection Frodo gives, but Frodo still won't go with him or give him the Ring. Then Boromir changes completely and goes into the classic, "It really should be mine anyway, you just got lucky to have it, it really belongs to me" sort of thing. This is when Frodo finally puts it on and disappears, then Boromir falls down and finally comes back to his senses.
    What's even more tragic though is that in the book, Boromir returns to the company and Aragorn immediately asks if he's seen Frodo. Boromir says, "Yes and no," and goes on to say that he and Frodo were talking and then he got angry with Frodo and he disappeared. Aragorn looks at him sternly and says, "Is that all you have to say?" And Boromir says, "Yes. I will say no more yet." And Boromir sits down and puts his head in his hands in grief.
    Aragorn tries to get the Fellowship to organize a search, but everybody panics and starts running off. Legolas and Gimli run off together, Merry and Pippen run off together, Sam goes off alone, and finally Aragorn has to shake Boromir out of it and says, "Boromir! I do not know what part you have played in this mischief, but help now! Go after those two young hobbit, and guard them at the least, even if you cannot find Frodo."
    Aragorn tracks Frodo to Amon Hen but finds no trace of him there. That's when Aragorn hears the Horn of Gondor and runs to find Boromir near-death, pierced by many arrows, and sitting up against a big tree. At least 20 dead orcs are laying around him. Boromir confesses that he tried to take the Ring from Frodo and apologizes and said he has paid the price, also telling Aragorn that the two hobbits were bound but still alive. Aragorn encourages Boromir and tells him that he is a conqueror and that few men have ever gained such a victory over an enemy. Boromir pleads with Aragorn to go to Minis Tirith and save his people. Aragorn tries to ask Boromir which way the orcs took the hobbits, but Boromir dies. Legolas and Gimli arrive just as Boromir passes away.
    This is also when they first discover that someone is breeding a powerful, bigger version of orc (the Uruk-Hai) as many of the orc bodies are larger, almost man-like. They conclude that it must be Saruman as the orcs have an "S elf-rune" emblazoned on them. Gimli at first thinks it is "S for Sauron" but Aragorn and Legolas know that Sauron doesn't use that name and doesn't use Elf runes either.
    This is one of the only times in the books where Aragorn shows any kind of wavering or uncertainty. He feels as though he has failed and the Fellowship is lost without Gandalf. He's not even certain whether to go search for Frodo or follow the trail of the orcs who took Merry and Pippen. It's a tough couple of chapters for Aragorn.

      Honestly I prefer the way the book handles Aragorn’s internal conflict about which way to go. In the movie he seems to forsake his duty to Frodo way too quickly and suddenly. In the book, as you say, he is heavily tempted to follow Frodo and it takes time for him to realize he has played his part in Frodo and Sam’s journey and now he must focus on the other hobbits.

    The thing you have to remember is the ring is what is causing this. Boromir was corrupted by the ring and his actions are being driven by its presence. He’s being driven literally mad by it and has no will to resist. Most don’t which is why the ring is so evil.

    *The whole ensuing debacle is a failure (learning experience) of Aragorn's leadership.*
    He is used to leading teams of Rangers, who are totally self-sufficient in their survival/tactical skills. He didn't enforce the buddy system (not a joke, they do this in the military for a reason). He let Frodo, the most important and vulnerable team member wander off. He let Boromir wander off, too, which is an impending danger to Frodo. Aragorn twice before witnessed Boromir almost grab the ring (Council of Elrond and on Caradhras). He should have known better. He should have delegated the task of unloading the canoes and kept Sam on Frodo-guard.

    I'm still shocked how I remembered Boromir from my first watch: antagonistic a*hole who just wants the ring.
    When I finally watched the extended version he became my favorite character because of how human he is
    Yes, I may have been young when i watched fellowship the first time, but i always had a soft spot for this type of character. I even if I wouln't have remembered the whole movie, i would have remembered his character-type!
    At least i found out why it was the way it was: i saw a pretty strange television cut, that just threw many scenes that showed his motivations and feelings. him and aragorn in lothlorien? gone. Him teaching the hobbits? gone. him trying to keep gimli from running back into the mines? you guessed it: gone. Seemed this version put some scenes from the extended version back in, but got rid of some of the theatrical cut .-.
