*TTT and ROTK- Boromir (Sean Bean)

[Knight of Gondor]

I really liked Sean Bean's performance, and I think the portrayal of Boromir was satisfactory. Boromir was whole-heartedly devoted to Gondor, and that's pretty much all his heart was set on...until the Ring began to take hold. While valiant, he was overconfidant, quite prideful, and it got the best of him. (Someone I heard observed that Boromir left his shield behind to persue Frodo...symbolic of letting down his guard on his pride, and it also could have provided extra defense from arrows)<P>And you all...would you watch language? Thanks to moderators for putting the bad-word blockers in. That kind of talk is for the orcs.<P>It does seem like Boromir shouldn't be of the mind that Gondor needs no king, though...but perhaps this was because Boromir saw no great leader in Aragorn. And when his heart was changed, he confessed Aragorn as his captain and king.
