“The mightiest man may be slain with one arrow and Boromir was pierced by many” - Pippin
Dude, spoiler.
I thought Boromir survived afterwards? So in the book he was dead for real...
@@subliminalfalllenangel2108 He still dies in the movies. He's Sean Bean, and Sean Bean always dies.
@@matthewdykeman8149 yup 👍👍👍
Boromir was badass
“I would have followed you my brother, my captain, my king”
"Be at peace, son of Gondor."
This line greatly summed up the character of Boromir. Noble at heart, son of Gondor.
This was one reason why the original trilogy was so good. It had lines like this that makes you think Tolkien wrote it- but he didn't.
People always forget that Boromir pretty much walked to Rivendel. And that, my friends, is badass.
Sure, but Frodo simply walked into mordor.
Just like how Sean Bean walked to set in full armor instead of riding in a helicopter with the rest of the crew.
Whenever I rewatch Fellowship, part of me always holds out hope that the three hunters arrive to help before Boromir takes the first arrow knowing full well that he'll die anyway. His death breaks my heart every single time, but at least he goes down like a badass
Same! I go through it every time.. What a great movie also because of this.
When I first watched as a boy he was my favorite with his shield an pessimist demeanor. It was my favorite character I was so upset as a kid when he was killed . I had his action figure . I really watched hoping they would come save him in time :( . As a 11 year old I definitely teared as each arrow hit him. Such an amazing tale.
He was the og badass
Sean Bean really gave justice to this character. His potrayal of valor, honor, fear, greed, anger and redemption is all so great.
Die defending your hobbit friends after being pierced by many arrows? Now that's soldiering!
Now, I don't cry or tear up very often during films, but man....Boromir's death scene nearly gets me every time. The books, even moreso.
I hear ya!
@@captainofnumenor8221 Aye, that line, delivered by Sean Bean. Such a great actor.
When I was young, I loved characters like Aragorn and Legolas, and wanted to be them. As I grew old, I realized that I was more like Boromir, and Theoden. 2 great men, yet very flawed, and their good deeds redeem them.
Boromir is one of my favorite characters in the entire saga. While a flawed hero, he was still a hero. Strong, stubborn, determined. Classic hero archetype.
Not flawed! Human.
Boromir was the best, his death was moving.
The character that I wish lived to see in Return of the King
Faramir is consolation for me.
Weirdly I feel Boromirs death is one thing the movie does much better than the book (it is obviously still awesome in the book) but Aragorn being more unsure of his place in the world and Boromirs final words being a driving force for him in his quest add so much more to Aragorns journey. a man as great as Boromir sees him as his leader and that told Aragorn much that he needed to know about himself. Aragorn being much more self assured in the book makes it a little less heart wrenching although still very much so
Lol, nonsense. Book death is way better. Book Boromir is better
@@ForageGardener ummm sorry I disagree? I think they are both great
I love in the movies how Aragorn takes and wears Boromir's bracers and wears them for the rest of the time. When you seen Aragorn laying on the dais after he passes away, he is still wearing those same bracers. Very nice touch.
I feel in the movies we dont see much of his greatness only that last fight but in the books it is very clearly seen and the lament really makes you feel sad for boromir as you can see the grief of Denethor. The books made me respect Boromir more.
@@neeladrirao9055 I think Denethor as a character is unequivocally better In the book. As for boromir I think some of the parts of the books where they are plowing the snow is great and boromir seems more present in Moria but ultimately I think Boromirs death (for me) is more emotional in the movie because he doesn’t yield to Aragorn right away. Aragorn’s arc being slightly altered is what made Boromirs death hit hard for me in the movie not so much to do with the things Boromirs does besides the final fight. Which I also think is better in the movie and is kind of told in passing or through recounting in the book it (but still very poignant) we are in that moment more in the movie than book to me
"My father is a noble man, but his rule is failing. And our people loose faith. He looks to me to make things right, and I would do it. And I would see the glory of Gondor restored." Boromir, Son of Denethor, 26th Steward of Gondor. Boromir was a good man.🌄🛡️🗡️🥀
I read this, an in my mind there was the sound of that lone French horn playing the melody of Gondor
Boromir & Faramir are two of my favorite characters in all of LOTR. Boromir's smile as he dies and the "funeral" scene in the books get me every time.
"Thus, he is left to make the rest of his journey on foot."
Boromir in the movies: *Rides in majestically on horseback*
Boromir's arc in The Fellowship of the Ring is a great introduction to the dire straits that Gondor is in. He is the embodiment of a country that is running out of rope and is willing to take drastic measures in order to survive regardless of the risks.
He also symbolises/demonstrates that the people of Gondor have become more warrior-like and how much the knowledge of Númenor has lost influence. The Gondorians of the late Third Age are not longer able to construct monumental buildings like their ancestors and they regard the elves with distrust and fear rather than with admiration and companionship like in the days of the last alliance. There are still remains of the old ways here and there (seen among Faramir's company), but the majority of the people are not that different from other men. Well, Tolkien wrote that this is an inevitable process - the gifted land was taken away and since then, its influence has dwindled slowly but constantly.
I've always wondered what the Kingdom of Gondor would look like had Boromir stayed true and not fallen to the ring.
Aragorn as king with Boromir as one of his chief lieutenants. The line of the King with the full backing of the stewards, it would've been amazing.
One of the top, utter best characters of the trilogy. "What news from the South, O sighing wind, do you bring to me at eve, where now is Boromir the Fair, he tarries and I grieve"
Boromir is one of my favourite Tolkein characters. Such a complex and subtle character, wonderfully written by Tolkein and exceptionally portrayed by Sean Bean.
I always cry at Borimir's death scene every single time I re-read or watch. Such a wonderful heroic character. I admire him so much! ❤️🖖
I always like to think Aragorn commissioned a statue of boromir in minas tirith when he became king.
Aragorn was a just man, so I'm sure he did.
I believe the tower guards always look to the towards the direction in which his boat sailed in honor of him.
the death of bormir in the movies is even better than in the books cause it gives aragorn the reason to finally stop being the ranger and avoid his duties to become the king. way better than give him a sword in rivendell and " heres the sword u are king now". makes Aragorn feel responsable for bormor death and even more important gives boromir peace cause he realizes his ppl wich is the only thign he cared about in the end will be taken care of. Deep love for Peter Jackson
Finally my favourite Hero. The warden of The white Tower! Thank u my friend!!!
Yes I've been waiting for this one for a while Boromir is one of my favorite characters he is just a great example of humanity how it can be corrupted but repent and do great things honestly one of my favorite characters
Boromir is unfortunately such an underrated character to many who've just seen the films. There's so much passion and grief behind his character that his death is so much more tragic!
Great video on my favorite character in the trilogy. Keep it up!
Agreed with all of this!
I used to be a member of the Fellowship like you, but then I took an arrow in the everywhere.
I remember first watching the fellowship and not liking Boromir but as I learned more and watched the extended versions I can now confirm he has become one of my favorite’s because of his “failed hero” story arc. He is a tragic yet beautiful story of how even the purest of men can be corrupted by the ambition to do good but can still repent before the end
first watch it when i was 15, i kinda hate him,
now I'm 33, and boromir and faramir becomes my favorite character
Boromir has been my favorite LOTR character ever since I was a little kid. I used to pretend I was him while running through the woods whacking trees with my stick sword.
Boromir is a well written character. In a book series of practically perfect people, Boromir is a fully human character.
Boromir is probably one of my very favorite humans in LOTR. Loved how Sean Bean portrayed him in the movies, as well. Even thinking about his fall as you discussed it here made me cry a lot. Well done!
thanks a lot. Boromir is my most favorite LOTR character.
Perfect timing with this vid, i just got THE HORN OF GONDOR and it’s sick!!
I wish he survived! My favourite character, only one who believed Rohan was not selling horses to Mordor and who was not scared of the balrog
I don't know why, but I had a feeling that a Boromir video was coming today!
" Boromir opened his eyes and strove to speak. At last slow words came. ‘I tried to take the Ring from Frodo,’ he said. ‘I am sorry. I have paid.’ His glance strayed to his fallen enemies, twenty at least lay there. ‘They have gone: the Halflings: the Orcs have taken them. I think they are not dead. Orcs bound them.’ He paused and his eyes closed wearily. After a moment he spoke again.‘ Farewell, Aragorn! Go to Minas Tirith and save my people! I have failed....."
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK MELLON! Boromir was a force to be reckoned with.
P.s. I cried while writing those words. I'm a fool for Boromir dammit.
You are no fool!
This is crazy !!! As a new subscriber I searched and was surprised to see no Boromir story……. DEFINITELY a great start to my morning. Shout out to you 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you for this one, Boromir is one of my favourites, and I think is the most tragic tale in the trilogy. Can't wait for the next one!
Denethor was a good man broken by Sauron. He was mad by the end, but his death was a tragedy NOT justice. I was not happy with how he was handled in the films.
0:25 lol, this outfit of Denethor looks rather like a dress from Western Movie than a Gondorian dresd 😂
The most underrated character in the LOTR trilogy
My favorite character in the Fellowship of the Ring!
Do a video of the men of dale and laketown
I listen to lament for borimir nearly everyday while im at work and though its very sad it does uplift my spirits to continue my shift as if i were one of the men from the high walls of minas tirith.
Well I didn't expect to start my Saturday with a solid cry, but Boromir's story will do that to ya
I gotta say he makes some good points re the ring to Frodo (up until he gets fresh and puts hands on a hobbit). Them Wizards & Elfs aint living in Mordors backyard gettin regularly shelled on both sides by some supreme evil non human entity on one side and crazy Apache-style horseridin/War Elephant havin Haldrians on the other. Let the Dude try out that ring mayne!!
Such a tragic character. At least he went out like a true badass!
Perfect timing for the new Lotro expansion! They should pay you for this.
Expansion? Lawd dem rangs? That's not lotr anymore its a disgusting perversion of his work
@@teacopem I think you’ll find that the developers and player base are all people who really do care about preserving Tolkien’s Legendarium. It’s just about the most accurate game you could get. Clearly you didn’t spend enough time on it.
My favorite parts in the episodes „The Complete Travels Of …“ are the ones which take place before the events of The Lords Of The Rings.
One does not simply make a video about Boromir, without the "One does not simply" meme in the comments!👌
YES! Been waiting for a video on Boromir for a long time. Please make one on the languages of Middle-earth!
I feel that one thing Baronir had against him was that he only saw the Ring as a weapon, like a sword or axe. The idea that it would have a will of its own and an ability to influence those around it was alien to him.
Some talk about what might have happened had he lived, but fate had only given him a few things to do. Once he had done those things, he was written out of the story.
Man.... I really, really loved this coverage. Just so grateful for all your content on this channel, but especially character life story and travels like these and all the others. Thank you!!
What a fantastic reading. I know the story well, but was still on edge as you recanted it herein. Thank you for creating these wonderfully crafted summaries that reignite the fire of passion we all have for their stories.
you made me cry... the connection between the brother so strong and amazing
LETS GOOOOOOO BORORMIR VIDEO!!!
Babe wake up, Nerd of the Rings just dropped
Amazing character and backstory. Well presented!
My absolute favourite character, and one of the best in LOTR. A flawed, yet complicated, character who redeems himself in the end by paying the ultimate sacrifice. For Boromir!!
You did such an amazing job with this video. I would love it so much to hear you do audiobook versions of all of Tolkiens writings. You do such a good job with the voices and conveying the emotion as well. Thank you so much for the video it was great!
One of my favourite characters. So glad you listened to my suggestion. Maybe you could do a character tier list. I would like to see your opinions on them all!
PS: Sean Bean goated actor
"I would have followed you to the end. My brother, my Captain, my King.'
I love your content and how you fill out the story.
Would love to see a "What If Boromir" got the ring episode.
It occurs to me that if the Lords of Gondor know who Elrond is and where be dwells, wouldn't they also be aware that he is the brother of Elros, the first King of Numenor? You would imagine that Elrond would be revered by the people of Gondor
Either that point holds no weight in Minas Tirith or some had forgotten him.
Boromir particularly wasn’t as interested in lore as Faramir.
Them knowing who he is and who his relations are are two different things. Those lords might just know that Elrond is some old Elf lord in Imladris who's been there since forever- without knowing he's the brother of their kingdom's founder.
"He was a soldier of Gondor! Honor him."
.... Wait. Wrong movie.
😄
lots of love from India ❤
When I read The Lord of the Rings for the first time I did not like Boromir, maybe I did not understood the character. Now, after having read and reread the book many times, I ‘m older and wiser and I finally appreciate Boromir as the most human character Fellowship .
Awesome video bro!
One word for Boromir: Legend!
days are never better when they start with a nerd of the rings video 👍👍👍
It's easy to fall into the trap of judging Boromir for being entrapped by the lure of the ring, when actually it's more of a miracle that Faramir didn't.
which is one major plot-hole that Peter Jackson fixed (which some fans hate). Come on, that bit of serious inconsistency should have never slipped past Tolkien.
@@MarvinT0606 What plot hole do you refer to?
@@midimusicforever Faramir being immune to the temptation of the Ring (in the books). Every other man who held it was tempted in some degree- except Faramir. The movies cleared it up by making *every man* susceptible to the Ring's influence- some resisting it better than others.
@@MarvinT0606 Where in the books did it say that he was immune? Sounds more like you reading something into it that wasn't there.
@@midimusicforever when him and the Ithilien Rangers caught Frodo and Sam. He rejected the Ring's influence on him too easily
Of the Fellowship, Boromir is the most human--he is deeply flawed, prideful, and hopeful for tomorrow, yet carrying the weight of duty to an authority that has clearly lost its way.
Boromir may have fallen at Amon Hen, but he was the beginning of Gondor's redemption and acceptance of the return of the king.
Fantastic video as always!
Could you do a video comparing Sauron and morgoth as dark lords and who had a better go at it
I’m fine. I’m not crying. Nope. Not crying. I’m bawling… Nothing moves me like Boromir’s story, either books or films, and this telling got me as well.
Nomatter what bozza did he kept his honour with that awesome final scene.
The first thing he said to Aragorn with his dying breaths were worrying about the little ones and admitting guilt, right after fighting hundreds of orca to protect them.
There’s no deed that would not be forgiven after such shows of selflessness and bravery.
It always makes me tear up
Hey! I love what you are doing making Tolkiens great works more understandable for all of us and giving us a deeper insight to his characters like Boromir and Celeborn last week, made we wander about Lorien and its history as well?
Boromir the fav son of denethor. Also loved by his men . Brilliant video. We always appreciate your hard work and dedication towards these videos. Love from Sri Lankan fan.
Man, I absolutely love these types of videos.
Great video, looking forward to the ROP entire season review 😀 next week perhaps...
FINALLY a synopsis of Boromir! Thank you!!
Yeah my mans finally got his video!
When Aragorn found him, he was sitting with his back against a huge tree, pierced by many black feathered arrows. Around him, spread in a circle, lay at least 20 orcs. He was a true warrior but lost the battle against fighting the temptation of the Ring. But he was a real badass...
Great map transition with the clouds.
Boromir - bigest warrior of Gondor revered even between orcs.
Oh man I gotta comment, Boromir is the dawg, he fought so many orcs and fought till the very end, all alone.
Excelente conteúdo, parabéns!!
I love your “what if” videos as it is fun to discuss scenarios. What about making a “what if” video regarding Feramir going to Rivendell instead of Boromir?
Awesome video!
For me, Boromir was proof that even the best and most honorable of Men, were no match for the power of the One.
Great video!
RIP Boromir.
Alas for Boromir! He was undone by his desperation to save his people.
Many have said it and I will too: You should voice an audio book!
I cried during this part in the book, years later I sobbed during this part in the movie. Of the many sacrifices the people of middle Earth made to help the hobbits in their journey, this man's was the greatest.
Excellent, as always. I don't believe there isn't any character you haven't done a complete journey on.
I would love to see you run a "the one ring" rpg game. Just got my ruins of the lost realm book and thought it would be so cool to see someone run it, with has as much knowledge about Lord of the rings as you do
Great job as always! I have an idea for a video that I have yet to see any other videos on the internet about. Please do a video on Elrond's healing abilities. There's not too much information in the cannon. What is the exact extent of his healing skills? Does he use "magic", herbal remedies, or a mix of the two? And Glorfindel is seen in the books using a healing warmth when putting his hand on Frodo's shoulder when he first finds him. Some fanfiction writers speculate that Elrond had this ability as well. Also, there's speculation that his ring might have either enhanced his natural abilities, or been the direct source of some of his healing abilities. Your thoughts? This could make for an interesting video.
Awesome job as always~ 👏
Quite coincidentally, I hear that a part of Boromir's journey to Imladris is coming soon to LOTRO with the Before The Shadow mini expansion. :D
Yes you finally listened to me on video topic ideas! Now finish up the fellowship with a video on Frodo and a FULL video on Aragorn!
I love Boromir as a character. Jackson's movies are wonderful, but I didn't have enough information to appreciate Boromir until I read the books. He's the only truly human member of the fellowship, and it shows beautifully.
The problem with the crossings at Tharbad being destroyed is: how did Lotho Sackville Baggins know how to trade Longbottom leaf with Saruman without trade stations all the way between the Shire and Isengard? I think Tolkien made some thought errors here.
