Boromir's death - book or movie? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I enjoyed the movie death of Boromir more also. The character of Boromir seemed better developed in the movie, and more likeable. (IMO) I loved and missed the book's lamantful singing though. What do you call that mournful lamenting and singing of praise and great deeds after a warrior has died? I'm sure there's a word for that, but it escapes me. The singing of Boromir's bravery was a wonderful Legolas moment (and Aragorn too, I can't remember...did Gimli sing?) that I missed in the movies. Legolas had so few moments! (other than bow action)<p>[ September 15, 2003: Message edited by: Liriodendron ]
