One of the most common misconceptions in the films is that Boromir is jsut kind of a jerk, but if you notice there's a LOT on his shoulders AND he's being pulled by the power of the Ring. Once Frodo took away the influence of the Ring on the Fellowship, Boromir spent his last momoents being an absolutely heroic badass, and for me as well as those who read the book, that's who he is. He died with honor, but that wasnt too much of a stretch to imagine that was always who he was in the first place. It's the Ring's fault, it preys on the spirit when its weak, and it took advantage of the pressure Boromir was under -he's got Gondor to worry about, the will of his father, he actually didn't want the Ring .... but when he saw it for the first time, It picked up on his negativity SO FAST and it said "Oh, yeah Im gonna go to work on this big boy, I'll be on his finger in no time flat!" The Ring does that to jsut about everyone but the strongest of beings - its temptation to use it when you're weak, it MAKES you desire it, makes you want it, and few have the strength to resist it like GAndalf, Galadriel, and Aragorn, and they never even carried it or wielded it like Frodo for a great amount of time. I really sympathize with Boromir, especially when he was defending Merry and Pippin. "I shamed myself trying to attack Frodo for that damned ring....but Im not gonna be the same with Merry and Pippin, either these Orcs are gonna die, or IM taking as many as I can with me!" Boromir was brave and an example of the nobility and strength that still exists in the race of Men.

The extended scene depiction of Boromir isn't supported by the books. The Books directly suggest that Boromir was more like his father, and Faramir was more of a throwback to the time of the Kings, in many ways more like Aragorn. And in the movie, they make Faramir more like Boromir than he was. It's actually one of the more puzzling deviations from the books. Perhaps it was done to better draw out the danger of the Ring and add some more drama to Faramir "showing his true colors". But the extended cut works that deviation pretty hard.

I absolutely agree with you! That's why I think they should have explained a bit more about his character and his past than what they did

The extended editions are garbage anyway, and not the correct way to watch Lord of the Rings.
