<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>I'm surprised at you people - I personally think Boromir was one of the few characters who were portrayed extremely well in the movie.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Moi? Oh yes, I am a firm believer in "Beanomir!" In fact, Sean Bean improves upon Tolkien's original IMO, bringing merely implied characteristics (and those related to the reader through others' eyes, at that!) and making them intrinsic to Boromir. And, as I have said in other threads, Sean B. is rather easy to look at too! I've never seen him in anything else that I know of, though--I recall that it is said of his words in Rivendell about the Shards of Narsil ("still sharp!") that they were a nod to his Sharpe character.<P>Cheers,<BR>Lyta<p>[ 12:31 PM January 17, 2004: Message edited by: Lyta_Underhill ]
