Boromir's end - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Lord Syslox of Emyn Beverli · 01-22-2002, 11:44 PM

I felt sorry for Boromir, the moment I saw him, on screen. The way the director (Peter Jackson, i believe), portrayed his last battle was quite moving. I believe it more than makes up for his temptation for the Ring (which is understandable).<P>I had never liked Boromir in the books, starting from his arrogance at the council of Elrond where he wanted the Ring to be used as aweapon. Having his last battle played out on the screen gave me a different view of him and I believe what Aragorn says to him is true: "You have not lost your honour."<P>Any comments?
