Man you don't know how much I LOVE Boromir. When he road up in the movie I poked my sister in the ribs nad said, "Look it's the B-Man!!!" [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Aside from his many great qualities which you guys have expanded on he exemplifies the theme of forgivness and redemption that permeates Tolkien's work. The B-Man is TOO COOL. [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]
Hey i've got a theory. Do you think that Boromir sort of thought of himself as Pippin and Merry's protector. The movie and the book show this in detail, He rode in the same boat as Pippin and Merry, he asked Aragorn to give them a moment to grieve. In the movie he practiced with them and carried them over the gulf during the bridge collapse.Hmmm, what do you think. Anywho his death scene is almost unmatched in all of Middle-Earth. Almost. Anyway you slice it the B-Man went down HARDCORE!!!
