Something that I noticed while hearing mauler mention Boromir's role as a protector, is that in the final battle Boromir doesn't have his SHIELD. A tool mainly used for protecting. He left his shield behind (that's how Aragorn noticed that Boromir is missing) to go after Frodo. Symbolically abandoning his role as a protector to chase after the ring. In the final battle he only uses his sword(still to protect Merry and Pippin) but if he still had his shield, if he retained his role, he might've been able to survive Lurtz's arrows(maybe). This is just another tragic and excellent detail for Boromir's character. God I love these movies!
Unironically, Sean Bean survives Silent Hill.
Until the sequel lol He goes back in at the end
But he doesn't die, he just goes in, haha.
@blackdragoncyrus Ya, me and my brother were screaming in the theater, "NO SEAN BEAN! YOU WERE GOING TO SURVIVE THIS MOVIE!" when he went back in
What the fuuuuck
Thats because the main characters are all dead... so hes kind of dead in regards to that 😂 (yeah, I know thats a stretch)
Denethor deleted all of Faramir's extended scenes to give him less screentime, thus giving the audience less evidence to support him being a good person
So he edited them all back in to the extended editions while burning to death?
@@VitalVampyr it's not known how his extended scenes got put back in, maybe Aragorn decreed that a scholar interview Faramir for an autobiography 🤔
Sean Bean is a literal National Treasure, it's the true treasure Nicholas Cage missed.
Maybe because Cage was looking for a US national treasure whereas Sean Bean is English.
A missed detail from the lads was Boromir comforting Gimli as he was weeping for Balin.
18:43 Pippin is clearly not the brightest of the 4 hobbits, but I love that they gave him this little moment to deliver some compassionate words of wisdom. He sees how so much of Faramir's self worth is tied up in his father's perception. In a way it mirrors his own self-doubt given how much Gandalf initially berates him for his incompetence. Pippin also has strength of a different kind.
Defending the realms of men from the advancing darkness is the only thing that brings me joy in life
"I ask only for the strength to defend my people!"
O Boromir! From the high walls westward I looked afar,
But you came not from the empty lands where no men are.
O Boromir! Beyond the gate the seaward road runs south,
But you came not with the wailing gulls from the grey sea’s mouth.
O Boromir! The Tower of Guard shall ever northward gaze,
To Rauros, golden Rauros-falls, until the end of days.
Ooh, a supercut of the sons of Denethor! I’ll admit that as a wee child viewing the trilogy more than a decade ago, I held a rather low opinion of Boromir and next to no opinion on Faramir. It is thanks in no small part to the elucidating exploits of Longman and company that my opinions on the trilogy in general and the brothers in particular have both been heightened dramatically.
This all hits all the harder when you realize that when Boromir talks up men, he is likely referring to his brother
Ah, even in shortened form, these scenes have me tearing up
Two of the most amazing people I've ever seen in any media I've experienced. So many layers of characterization, so much emotional impact, and every single thing connects beautifully to form such a deep story.
I latched onto Faramir first as a kid, because of my dad's experience. Having been similarly treated by his own father, and after watching the Vietnam War needlessly consume so many lives, he identified quite heavily with Faramir. The reluctant soldier, with qualities too often ignored or cast aside.
Now, as an adult, I still shed tears not only as Boromir fights beyond the fear of death and ultimately falls in defense of the hobbits, but also when Faramir is pointlessly sent to his death after being told he's worth nothing in his own father's eyes. Both are simply masterpieces in storytelling and character writing.
We can only imagine that at Dagor Dagorath, when all of Good and Evil are to fight one last time, that Boromir and Faramir aid Aragorn in helping beat back the forces of Morrgoth and Sauron so that Turin can drive Gurthang into Morgoth’s heart.
I smile imagining the fellowship joining together one last time before the world is remade by all for a world untouched by Morgoth. A world in which all can live in Peace, and Quiet, and good tilled earth.
🎵 Sean Bean,
good for your heart,
the more ya watch him,
the better the Art.🎵
18:37 Boromir was always the Soldier, amusing since Beans role as Richard Sharpe spawned the enduring meme _"thats soldiering"_
Making a sharpe referance, now thats soldiering.
@@Hippo_Hegemony Naturally on seeing Sean Bean I made the reference, that's my style sir.
This is why I love EFAP. Such an excellent group that is able to help qualify why we feel certain things when we see stories like this. Maulers thoughts on Boromir as a character, along with Fringy, Wolf, Drinker, etc, help me learn so much more about film and stories in general. Absolutely love it gents.
9:00 I'm not sure Aragorn (movie version) would have accepted his role as kind without Boromir's sacrifice, and thus not have gotten the dead to join him
Sam's my favourite but the Boromir/Faramir bro's are a close second & a big part of the reason The Two Towers is my favourite film of all the times
I remember leaving the theater in 2001 and arguing with all my friends at how amazing Boromir was. Everyone else thought he was a baddy. He was a true hero.
Sean Bean. Just... Sean Bean.
I need to see the video of wolf forcing jay to watch the movies
That Chad Bean jaw
BOROMIR! BOROMIR! BOROMIR! BOROMIR!
And yeah, by the time Fellowship comes around, Boromir's seen more shit and fought more battles than anyone else save for Legolas. He was already worn down significantly.
@slawaboga1433 Yeah, but Aragorn is stinky. So there!
That rant Mauler, I love that ish🔥🔥🔥
This might be blasphemous, but I’m not much into Fantasy and LOTR. However, Boromir is my favorite part of this trilogy. He’s such a great character and window into human nature.
Regarding Boromir or Faramir going to the Council, in the book, it's pretty clear that the Powers That Be intended for Faramir to go. Faramir had a dream several times with a prophecy telling him to go looking for the Ring and the rightful king of Gondor in Rivendell, and his efforts to tell Denethor about it fell on deaf ears. Finally, whoever was sending Faramir the dreams gave up and sent the dream to Boromir, and when he told Denethor, he was allowed to go. Boromir had an adventure of his own getting to Rivendell, but he won through. Basically Boromir went to Rivendell because the Valar went to Gondor asking "Can Faramir come out and play?" and Denethor refused to let him. So it just might be that things would have gone better if Faramir had been allowed to go, as per the original plan. OTOH, his conversion, and presumptive survival, would not have swayed Denethor much. Faramir letting the Ring be sent to destruction in Mordor, or acknowledging Aragorn as the rightful king, would not have had much impact on Denethor, and only confirmed his worst suspicions about the "wizard's pupil" his son had become. And if Boromir snatched up Frodo, Sam and Gollum in the wilderness of Ithilien, IDK that he would have let them go as Faramir did.
Also, at the Council, the thought was floated that Rohan might be in league with Sauron and providing his armies (and the Ringwraiths) with horses, and Boromir shut that down straight off, saying no way the Rohirrim would ever serve Sauron or give their horses to an evil master.
Short man is still 20 minutes good stuff man
David Wenham was Harold Meacham, The Obadiah Stane of Danny Rand aka Iron Fist Netflix 2017
And he did extremely well in that role.
@@RenegadeVile i had high hopes of season 1
It’s really sad how much they screwed up with a legit cool character like Iron Fist only to push Shang Chi. Because only Asians can do martial arts according to the big brain not-racists.
@@acedetective7280 yeah its all fell very accurately in terms of Dei for Marvel Studios
@@hkaayaakuu I'm one of those weirdos who enjoyed both seasons of Iron Fist. I wanted to see what was going to happen in Season 3. IT's certainly far from the best of the Netflix shows, but it's not as boring as Jessica Jones, at least. The biggest issue with Season 1 was just how little fighting there was for the majority of it. IT needed an additional antagonist for the early parts of the season. Some lackey of some sort.
Denathor didn’t just lose a son, Faramir lost a brother, the chief familial support he had.
Denethor eating like a pig is a huge point.
He is eating off a pewter plate, pewter reacts to the acid in tomatoes breaking down in to lead.
His eating is giving him lead poisoning, which makes you go mad!
Boromir had the best accent too. It sounded more Medieval.
Sean beans real sheffield accent . Yorkshireman through n through
Boromir and Faramir work so well because of how human they are. Aragorn is closer to John Heroman, and basically a superhuman in the LotR setting, but those two encapsulate so much of the common man fighting this seemingly unstoppable darkness. Their combined story being a more classic tragedy.
Boromir obviously standing out the most, especially due to how well characterized he is. He genuinely cares for the hobbits, and while his "antagonism" and inevitable fall is displayed pretty clearly, it's given context to make you understand why. All to end in a heroic, but still tragic, sacrifice that also helps push Aragorn's character forward as well.
Really, I think a lot of it also just goes to Sean Bean as an actor. My mind always goes to him voicing Martin Septim in Oblivion. While the main quest is pretty basic, Martin was always a highlight for me due to how well his VA work is done.
Our favorite bois❤
EFAP: LOTR is the only movies to ever exist
“They took the little ones!”
Dude that shit fucks me up every time for sure. RIP a true hero.
Boromir is the best character in the history of characters. Anyone who thinks otherwise is wrong.
Boromir is fighting for his country and people; anyone can identify with that. And Faramir is my 2nd favorite character after Frodo.
I adore Faramir in the Books!
Boromir😭
I have serious issues with the LotR films but SeanBean is just superb.
Boromir is a man pushed to his breaking point. And at that moment, he makes the wrong decision. And literally does EVERYTHING in his power to take it back.
Faramir is Boromir the White, Boromir as he Should Have Been.
😅I saw someone defend the Numenor armor on twitter the other day, feel like I've seen it all
what does 'moulds' (sp?) mean at 2:45?
Malds, from the verb to mald; malding is bring mad and balding lol GenZ slang
Twitch speak. Because articulating complex thoughts with multiple words for clarity takes too long apparently.
@@JTViper ohhhh haha thanks man
My first and second favourite characters, annoys me how people see Boromir as a bad guy and I'd like Faramir to be more akin to the book - I've come to understand the decision for the films; still don't think some of it was entirely good or necessary.
Boro mir funny
Who else didn't skip the ads so Mooples can get some extra dosh. Great work on the whole trilogy!
Fellowship is the only good LOTR movie. You can't change my mind.
Sean Bean's death scene chokes me up every time. I felt nothing watching the other two movies.
Yeah, they couldve spent less time on Legolas and Gimli and more on characterizing the others. I felt nothing for Arewyn or Frodo. Idk why.
I would agree that it's the only one that could be considered a masterpiece, but the only good one? I think these movies have way more flaws then are generally acknowledged but even I have to admit that the worst LOTR movie is still a pretty good movie.
I love men, especially these two.
Especially hobbits, I've heard...
Name checks out
