Thank you! I also think Book Boromir to be quite sympathetic and caring. It's all about how people read him, I suppose, but I definitely see a helping and caring Boromir in the book, and I know I'm quite out numbered here, but I don't like what Jackson did to Boromir's character and I don't think he "humanized" him because (in my opinion) book Boromir is already humanized. In fact, I would say Boromir is the most human out of all Tolkien's characters.
