ninlaith has just left Hobbiton.
Boromir, I absolutlely agree. That was such a riveting moment. If there was no movie and everyone only saw that little piece I think everyone would understand the kind of friendship they had and the point Tolkien was trying to convey. Another part of the movie that I thought told of true friendship was when Pippin had to leave Merry. I know I already posted that but the actors hit it right on. Just the expressions on both of their faces were so heartfelt and genuine like they were actually Pippin and Merry leaving each other. It's so inspiring. I think Tolkien wanted to help people respect the kind of friendship held between an Officer and a Solider. That it does not have to be just Master and Slave if the Master is the right person. It goes much deeper than that.
