its boromir related too finally on topic humour from me! finally actualy humour from me!
yes this is funny, thats cos i didnt write it

Lord Boromir, a native of Minas Tirith, dismissed the concerns, claiming, "Gondor has no actors. Gondor needs no actors."

But overall the mood was one of mild disgust. As Lord Aragorn put it to reporters, "The day may come when the Academy is able to find their ass with a flashlight. But this is not that day."

😆 😂 😆

In this one, Boromir can be discussed. If you' d like to discuss Wormtongue, then you can make another thread.

And guys, you really need to learn to stay on topic. Try to limit your off- topic-tendency. Save that for the First Annual Tig Party!

🙁 but i have a problem 🙁

*not a word from me* 😉

You guys will drive me nuts 😉
Let' s talk about your problem in the First Annual Tig Party 🙂

Hmm, what was this thread about ? Oh yes...Boromir...nearly forgot there with Sauron's problems and all ! 😂

Boy...he can take any thread off topic ( but then again so can I ; ) )

I liked the Boromir character...and if you get Kit in this thread...she will have plenty to say about it ! Yikes, even her sig is of the guy !

Anywho...who better to play Boromir than Sean Bean. I loved this guy in such films as Ronin and Patriot Games. I really thought he gave a good performace in the LOTR, and hearing what he had to deal with during production of the movie, with his fear of heights ... I say he gave it 110%, no doubt.

That's all I have to say about that

In FOTR, we see Boromir as proud, skeptical, and pragmatic. He is willing for the Sword that was broken to come to the aid of his people. At the Council of Elrond, Boromir is skeptical of Gandalf and the Elves, virtually all of his people are, as the Elves are skeptical of men, Dwarves of Elves, etc. Middle-earth is full of mistrust.

He is bold and arrogant, blowing the Horn of Gondor as they leave Rivendell, he is chastised but states that he will not go as a thief in the night. Even today we are taught that if you project confidence and self assurance when we walk alone through a parking lot at night, you will reduce risk of attack. If you act suspicious, you will be watched and followed. This is another thing he has been trained for, as a warrior and leader.

In Moria, it is Boromir who covers the party as they escape from the various chambers. He is the one who closes and holds the doors being them, the one who stands to fight until Gandalf tells them that swords are of no more use. Subtly, we are shown that he already has recognized that Aragorn must lead the group, he has accepted the role of final line of defense, as has been the Role of Gondor in the last years.

In the end, he tells Aragorn what he has done and asks forgiveness, stating that he did not understand, but now does, and he reports what he has seen to his commander, as a good soldier, and he asks Aragorn to save his people because he cannot. His final words are of his home and the people of his homeland. He is dutiful to the last.

Boromir's role in the Quest was vital. Without him and his fall, the Quest would have doubtless failed. Frodo would not have been able to make up his mind to go on alone when he did without Boromir's attack. A large party would not have been able to cross Mordor undetected. Without the breaking of the fellowship, the Rohirrim would not have won at Helm's deep, the Huorns and Ents would not have come to help and the Rohirrim would not have gone to Gondor's aid.

Strong-willed, dutiful, proud, arrogant, masterful, loyal, a good leader, a good soldier, I see him as all of these and more. A man with serious flaws but a good heart, not a saint, never a saint. He was a man of his time and place who had doubts, fears, and the weakness of them.

😠 he is not arrogant!

in the chapter the council of elrond he is very polite and not at all how he is portrayed in the films

in the films he was a kind of good cop bad cop character, this was so the audience didnt become too attached to him as they wouldnt take nicely to the death of a loved fellowship member
imagine if say...aragorn had died- suicides that night!

it would of been a ruddy shite movie if aragorn had died....crycrybaby

It' s an opinion like any other sauron.

Tolkien left a lot of room for interpretation in his Boromir character, and a lot of room for the imagination to create a character that would mean different things to different people. I think that he was afraid of having Boromir look too much the bully sometimes, but he did not want to make him look 'soft' either. If he softened him, Boromir would have become a sympathetic favorite and killing him off would idd have angered the readers. I don' t think that there is a wrong way or a right way to visualize Boromir. I do think that Peter Jackson has made him into a more sympathetic character, but Tolkien left lots of area for that to be done. All of us have visions of the characters that have, over the years, evolved. Not a one of us thinks the same way about them exactly as we did when we first met them. Some of them have softened in our minds, others have developed more of an edge.

no it wouldnt it would have been great
helms deep mens morale down-rohan falls
therefore nobody to come to gondors aid...well about 600 soldiers lol which isnt alot
nobody to get the dead army
therefore the corsairs will arrive at the fields of the pellenor
gondor falls

which places more responsibility on frodo to save middle earth, he is alone

with other opponents now defeated all saurons mind will be thinking of is the ring, the ring would be tormenting frodo more, the nazgul arent in battle so they are searching for the ring

wow.....better film that the originals 😛

😆

that sounds like a good movie.......band

yes storm but the film portrayed boromir very poorly in my opinion
for instance in the film boromir shouts and screams at frodo and pounces on him to take the ring
in the book they sit down, have a discussion about it and frodo accepts boromirs council...before seeing a glint in his eye 😛 in which he was alarmed and placed the ring on to avoid any danger,

also the other part of the film that gives boromir the bad guy look is frodo dropping the ring on caradhras, in the book, this does not happen, frodo dores not drop the ring nor does boromir pick it up

the council of elrond and rivendell scenes incite a bad feeling towards boromir, in the book he was much more subtle than to demand it be taken to gondor in fact in one quote he actually states that it would indeed be a bad idea, he does not snub aragorn in fact he tells him his return to gondor would be welcome

overall the movie did a bad job with boromir

they must of done something right tho to have all these fans of his ...... unless they are fans of the book....

rightyo i'm of to bed for now nighty....be back o tomoz when i'm at school...tudaloo

i don't like Boromir at all...
