I love that Boromir goes from insisting that Gondor doesn’t need Aragorn as king at the council, to berating him for forsaking his duty to his people in this one. It shows the growing respect, as well as the turmoil and fear
He would do whataver's necessary to make things better, just wants something to give him strength to do his duty. One of the most brilliant ideas of Tolkien was showing, through Boromir, one does not have to have a false heart to fall under the power of the Ring. Boromir was desperate, in that desperation ,he lost his mind. Hope of prevailing with the Ring, that just made him lose his mind for a brief moment.
@@subutaynoyan5372 We also learn that Boromir was under instruction from his father Denethor to bring the ring back to Gondor. But yeah , a main theme of the books/movies is that having the ring in your near presence, let alone possession, makes you think that you have an infallible plan. unless you're a hobbit and way more stubborn
@Alexandru it is because Boromir is tempted by the ring power. He is passionated and desperate to save Gondor, his homeland and the ring played Boromir feelings in that.
beyond desperate. the party leader gandalf is dead, their super secret mission wasnt so secret after all. theres a skulking creature spying and following them around, sauron is closing in on gondor and the guy who is supposed to be, basically the emperor of the human race disowns and dismisses humans(YOUR city, not our city)
I know and I think it makes him the most relatable. He really wants to be a good person and serve Gondor and his father. He’s the example of what a perfect steward would be next to the perfect king in Aragorn. Unfortunately he’s seen so much and fought so hard against Mordor for all his life that he’s desperate to make it stop. He wants to help his people. Like the men of old he desires power above all else. Yes, power to help Gondor, but power nonetheless. The One Ring offers him that power, and it calls out to Boromir to save it from its fate in the hands of Frodo. Boromir resists but ultimately breaks to the will of the ring. As he dies, we see the real Boromir; a perfect steward pledging his allegiance to his perfect king.
I love how they Aragorn alludes to Gollum being a Stoor hobbit, as they were swamp folk who were "good watermen." It explains how he tracked them so well along the river.
Boromir was always the best for me, the whole thing about being deceived by the Ring made him more human, not evil. Also, he's probably the most realistic character of the whole Fellowship. His final minutes show everything you need to know - fucking legend!!!!

They simply dismissed him as being clueless, yet he was only trying to comprehend the depth of it all. No wonder he was overwhelmed. And yet he still seemed to have more faith in his people than the rest of them ever did to begin with.
Apart from the growth of the tragic character that is Boromir, here there is also a flaw on Aragorn.

@@thanoseid2883 My exact problem with Hollywood. Not everyone has to be forced to be good. If you read closely, Aragorn was by no means handed everything, he lived a very hard life with no certainty that he would succeed, yet knew who he was and what he needed to do and worked for it, even with many opportunities to not take the hard road. I guess people find it compelling to have to force good. I just don't.
Men's mortality is their strength. Men can overcome fear in a way that elves and dwarves never can. There is a line from Boromir in one of the LOTR video games that I kinda wish was in the movie as it sums it up very well: "When we die let it be as free men, not as slaves of Mordor." Men can not choose to live, they can only choose how they want to die. Also as a civilization men are actually immortal as they live on in the memories of others in a way that elves never can. It's why the Elven realms have stagnated slowly but consistently while the realms of men go through cycles of boom and bust but there is always hope for them.
This scene becomes even more heartbreaking for Boromir when you consider the TTT extended scene. Denethor will not listen when Boromir tries to tell him that Faramir is courageous and honorable…thus putting the burden of saving Gondor solely on Boromir’s shoulders. Then Aragorn will not listen when Boromir tries to tell him that the race of men is courageous and honorable…thus putting the burden of saving Gondor right back on Boromir’s shoulders. The pressure on him is immense. No one will even hear him out, much less help him. When Aragorn impatiently shrugs him off at 3:18 he’s just at a loss. And then Aragorn gut-punches him with “YOUR city.” I know these two scenes are film-only but they do a fantastic job of leading up to Amon Hen being Boromir’s breaking point.

It has been many ages, and yet we still wait for the fully uncut version of these masterpieces to be released. Why must Peter Jackson torture us so? Does he not believe we would endure a 7 hour film? Because I believe myself, along with many others would stay and go to the end...into the very fires of Mordor. We need not sleep, for we would tirelessly watch and rewatch the unedited journey.
I think that when they were in boats Aragorn, Legolas and Boromir could sense that there's danger in woods. Ring had started to have influence on Frodo at this point. He felt that he could do it alone but he obviously couldn't. He needed someone who would stop him in moments of madness. While he was under ring's influence he could have so easily give it to enemy, get himself killed and many other things. Ring was driving Boromir mad he was eager to give it to Gondor but he wasn't himself.
Ring do not make anyone to give it to enemy ,smeagle never gave ring to anyone. mostly people in vicinity of ring just want to possess the ring for themselves. When boromir get corrupted by ring's influence ,he wanted to use ring to fight against sauron Even sauruman wanted ring so he can overpower sauron . Frudo never wanted to give ring to enemy or for the matter to anyone ,he just wanted to keep the ring for himself before gollum chew off his finger .
@@karanparmar4754 Smeagol had the ring while he was alone in tunnels of the Misty Mountains while Sauron was not in power. Sauron's power is able to manipulate the user to give itself to a person who would present it to Sauron, or put it in the right circumstances. Frodo also was not overcome by the ring long enough to have fallen into giving it to Sauron. He fell finally to desire, but had no time to have his will taken from him.
@@katherinewilson1853 Then what was the moment just later in the movie where Frodo went up to the top of Aman Het, put the ring on, and saw Sauron face to face? Or on the plains of Gorgoroth in Mordor where Frodo was transfixed under the gaze of Sauron? Weren't those examples of the Ring drawing Frodo towards Sauron? Just curious; I'm always down for learning more Tolkein.
***** I guess he was leaving it for a big reveal during the Black Marshes scene. The thinking behind it was that the audience would probably be like "oh shit they're back and they've got that"
Still, that part didn't really do anything for the plot... It would have been wayy cooler if they'd showed off badass Leggy instead of just leaving him as eye candy.... Don't mind me too much: I'm just voicing my opinion/ranting a little.
I think its sad how Aragorn grew to hate his own people, regarding them as weak, and put the Elves on a higher pedestal than they frankly deserved. It's often pointed out that the only reason the Elves of the later Ages were seen as perfect beings was because all the rotten apples either got themselves killed in the First Age or fled to Valinor across the sea after the War of Wrath. The ones who remained then spent thousands of years mellowing out. Even Galadriel was a bit of a bitch in the beginning, only coming to Middle Earth so she could rule a realm of her own.
@@Wanderer628 He didnt grow hate of any kind, he just distrust Denethor because he knew him since his youth, when he was serving Steward Ecthelion, Denethors father.
Mainly for pacing and time to get the film under 3 hours. I quite liked the ‘Extended Edition’ though, it’s probably the best out of the ones for the trilogy with the least amount of significant changes, but so much more detail added!
@@concars1234 agree, Two Towers EE is quite good also (although the Merry and Pippin forest water scene where they muck around is a bit questionable as to whether it adds anything). Return of The King was my least favourite of the Extended releases as some of the changes were actually detrimental to the film (the extended Army of the Dead scenes being the most notable as they sort of ruin the suspense as to whether Aragorn was able to convince them to fulfil their oath to Gondor).
Clips from the original trilogy are popping up on YT so I have to watch. I remember first watching these films in theater as a teenager and knowing these were truly epic. The style of each shot has not aged at all. A timeless cinematic masterpiece! Is there any other film as beautiful looking as these films? I cannot think of any.
nahhh.. Dude was trying to fish him coming to Gondor when he has the upper hand to take the ring. He is as greedy as any man who wants the power of the ring and Aragorn knew better not to trust him nor his father
@@Bullet-Tooth-Tony- fr man. He only accepted Aragorn as his king on his death bed. Typical men behaviour. He potrays men's behaviour at its finest in this.
@@Amr_D Seriously you had to implant this topic here? You are taking advantage of a scene so you can implant a narrative that is no part of this. Shameless is what I call that behavior.
The scene where Boromir sees Gollum, and tries to get Aragorn to go to Minas Tirith was cut from the theatrical version, and that pisses me off. They cut out way too many scenes that flesh Boromir out.
It's a difficult balance to make. Ultimately, the footage still exists, so it's not that bad. I would have liked if they fleshed out more of the characters, like Legolas and Gimli. But ultimately PJ was making a film for mainstream audiences, so I understand why it was done.
It’s because Frodo feels it’s his burden alone that no one else can carry or understand. He loves Sam as we all do, but just that he didn’t want to wear Sam down with the perilous task of destroying The Ring. Sam though is a loyal friend right till the end of the quest, and didn’t give up, it’s why his speech at the end of The Two Towers is one of the all time best!
he didnt want Sam to carry the burden of the ring since it was already taking a tole on Frodo the last thing Frodo wanted was to let it effect any of his friends especially after seeing what it could do to Boromir.
“I promised Gandalf that I would.” I find it sweet that Sam constantly says this whenever he shows concern about Frodo. We all know perfectly well that promise or no promise, he will gladly do anything for Frodo, even go to his own death. It’s like he’s too shy to admit just how much he cares for Frodo so he uses Gandalf’s promise as an excuse. But Frodo clearly sees right through it, like we do. I think that’s beautiful.
Boromir was a such good character. Saddly, who never read the books or watch de extended version can see this. Boromir and Faramir suffer a lot with cinema cut.
Aragon in the Book: "How my heart yearns for Minas Anor (Minas Tirith) and the walls of my own city." Aragon in the Movie: "I would not lead the Ring within a hundred leagues of your city (also Minas Tirith)." ummmmm what lol....
The film introduces internal conflict for Aragorn regarding his hesitancy to accept his position as King of Men. Which is frankly more interesting than the books where he is really a superman
The books got almost all the characters true hearts and motivations wrong. It was super sad for a hard core Tolkien lover. The books were a huge part of my late middle school and high school reading. I loved reading and all kinds of books before reading TLOTRs, but reading the trilogy cemented a deep and abiding love of actual paper books and reading. In the digital age fewer and fewer people actually read paper books now but there is something about a 400 page paper book that is so much better than an Ipad or Kindle or whatever. The paper and binding and ink weave together this smell that is unique and amazing. And then the weight of the book and actually turning the pages and getting ink on your fingers if it's bran new. I love all that. Anyways. I was always disappointed in the movies vs the books. Especially "The Return Of The King." There were SOOOOO MANY more amazing, strong, and heroic figures in the book vs the movie. And Aragorn's ride thru the "Path Of The Dead"? In the books he had most of his brothers of the Dunedain with him and Gimli And Legolas, and Elronds twin sons, Elladan and Elrohir, also rode with Aragorn over the Paths Of The Dead." It would have been sooooo much better if they had made that true to the books. And Gondors actual arms was a LOT larger in the books than movies, and there were some VERY strong and brave men amongst them that helped Gandalf a great deal. The book said something like "and wherever they went mens hearts where lifted and the shadows passed and they were no longer afraid, but when the moved on the shadow slowly returned and they were afraid again."
Boromir, only member of the fellowship that I think is a real human being. With all his faults, doubts, desire and failures. Boromir is the one true human
@@raspberryflash583No, he doesn't. The Dunedain aren't Elvish in nature, they are descended from the line of Numenor, and thus are given longer lives than normal men. However Aragorn has no Elvish blood in his veins.
I wrote before that after Boromir was shown the faith of Gondor, which made him realize that his father and himself aren't fit to rule (hence why he said he sees no hope eventhough Galadriel told him there is still hope), and which made him start to respect Aragorn and admit that he is the savior.. He shows in this scene that he blames the long absence of the true ruler for the downfall of his kind (mankind) and he urgently wants to turn that around. He shows he has his heart in the right place but that he's also oblivious of the weak nature of mankind.. Something Aragorn knows all to well as his heir, Isildur, took the ring when he became king, instead of destroying it.
Lord of the Rings reigns supreme. The trilogy is to movies what Michael Jackson’s Thriller is to music!!! Out of 800 award nominations, they won 475!!!! Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean, Marvel Cinematic Universe, Star Wars, Transformers, and other movies made after it will never reach the achievements that Lord of the Rings has earned. Especially not Twilight (but then again, anything’s better than Twilight).
Aragorn: right let’s take the ring to your city where you can confiscate the ring by force and lead your warriors to the slaughter and deliver the ring forever into the hands of Sauron…
Every single actor in this scene did an EPIC job. Wow, just wow. What amazing acting. Fast forward to today, looking at the pathetic TV series, it’s sad.
"Gondor has no king, Gondor needs no king"......The fact that Boromir goes from that to embracing Aaragon as his King.....absolutely amazing. I wish we could of seen King Elessar and Boromir together😭😭😭😭
Crazy how Sam wasn’t corrupted even the smallest ounce by the ring, being right next to it for so long, and then even carrying it for a day on top of that.
You can't help me Sam.not this time.Saddest statement ever,nobody knows what pain he's got inside.It is hard to admit but Frodo is greatest character of whole movie,Someone who can not fight ,but bigger then all those great wariors next to him
Boromir here feels desperate - thats why he is clinging to Aragorn. He knows that his will to resist the ring is failing because he wants to use it for good. He thinks this is the only way to save Gondor - yet he begs Aragorn to come to Minas Tirith because there is a part of him that wants Aragorn to save them so he doesn't have to use the Ring.
He wouldn't take the ring to Denethor. He would keep it for himself. Remember, the ring has the power to corrupt. Even Frodo couldn't destroy the ring In the end. It was left to Gollum to bite Frodo's finger off and fall in the lava.
@G E T R E K T And Denethor thought that by using the ring he would be abel to control Sauron and defeat him but reality he would either end as a Nazgul or Like Gollum
He knew that as he approached Mordor the power of the ring increased and that soon he would need to leave society and go alone. That's why when they disembark in the forest he disappears and Boromir goes after him
The dwarves should have been able to resist the one ring better then hobbits. That's when the 7 rings to the dwarf lords didn't fuck them up like the 9 rings to men. They literally made of stone
Aragorn is very different in the books. He wants to get back to Minas Tirith and rally his own people as fast as he can without compromising the quest.
@@saar144 They made Faramir more complex in the movie. In the book he didn't think twice about letting Frodo go in his quest, in the movie he was more conflicted which was a good thing.
@@SHVideografie "more conflicted" =/= "more complex", nor is it automatically or even a majority of the time 'a good thing'. good characters are not inherently worse or less interesting than 'conflicted' characters, and any storyteller saying otherwise is admitting he is a hack.
@Luc Germain I disagree. To me it seemed like the screenwriters were either being lazy using the ‘conflict’ trope, arrogant to think the way Tolkien wrote his characters wasn’t compelling enough for the big screen and that they can di better, or both.
@@SHVideografie You don't understand the source material whatsoever. Faramir has a "glint" in his eyes when he sees the Ring and is momentarily tempted, but just like Gandalf and Galadriel and (in the movie) Aragorn, Faramir rejects that temptation. Movie!Faramir's arc doesn't work at all in the film because there's 0 development. In the book, Faramir spends the entire time getting to know Frodo. They forge a genuine friendship by the end of Frodo's stay in Henneth Annûn, and so Faramir's decision to let him go is based on trust. Frodo has earned Faramir's trust. In the movie, they have 0 positive interactions. Faramir ties Frodo and Sam up, doesn't engage with them, and refuses to get to know Frodo on a personal level at all. Furthermore, movie!Faramir sees Frodo almost give the Ring to a Nazgûl, which should incentivize Faramir to not let this total stranger go into the Enemy's land. Instead, movie!Faramir's "arc" just... happens. There's no explanation or build-up. He simply changes his mind for no reason and lets Frodo (a total stranger) go because the plot needs him to. This is bad writing. A way to bridge the gap between the movie and book would be to actually show that Faramir is conflicted. Have him get to know and talk with Frodo on their way to Osgiliath and show Faramir start to like and respect him. Faramir would then be torn between Frodo, his new friend he has respect for, and Denethor, his distant father he wants to please. That would be infinitely better, and it would be a whole lot more faithful to Faramir's characterization in the book. Peter Jackson never explains why Faramir has any change of heart. He doesn't know Frodo in the movie, and he has no reason to trust him at all. He simply changes his mind because the plot needs him to. Peter Jackson never takes the time to explain why or how Faramir grows. He simply does because the narrative needs him to. That's not a good A-to-B arc.
There's actually a mistake in there too. Legolas looks on his left, to the east, while he should be looking on his right, because the urukhai were on the western bank, since they follow the river to the south. It may be a small error, or that shot was made for the orc archers attack scene at the eastern bank (which never made the movie due to flooding in New Zealand)
Since this was the Uruks' first time leaving Isengard, do you think Saruman used his magic to ensure that they knew where to go? I would ask the same question for when he sent his army to Helm's Deep.
The Anduin is not the great river. New Zealand is actually a bit short of very broad rivers. Tolkien tells us that Sirion is the great river. But actually we have a much greater river - the Amazon! It drains myriads of hectares of rainforest.
G. Thomás Hart Anduin literally means Great River or Long River in Sindarin, so...yeah its the great river. The Amazon is really huge but that has nothing to do with Middle Earth. Sirion was a large river but not as often reffered to as great river, and at the end of the first age it ceased to exist so Anduin is the true great river.
I love that Boromir goes from insisting that Gondor doesn’t need Aragorn as king at the council, to berating him for forsaking his duty to his people in this one. It shows the growing respect, as well as the turmoil and fear
He would do whataver's necessary to make things better, just wants something to give him strength to do his duty. One of the most brilliant ideas of Tolkien was showing, through Boromir, one does not have to have a false heart to fall under the power of the Ring.

I think that when they were in boats Aragorn, Legolas and Boromir could sense that there's danger in woods. Ring had started to have influence on Frodo at this point. He felt that he could do it alone but he obviously couldn't. He needed someone who would stop him in moments of madness. While he was under ring's influence he could have so easily give it to enemy, get himself killed and many other things. Ring was driving Boromir mad he was eager to give it to Gondor but he wasn't himself.

Ring do not make anyone to give it to enemy ,smeagle never gave ring to anyone. mostly people in vicinity of ring just want to possess the ring for themselves.
When boromir get corrupted by ring's influence ,he wanted to use ring to fight against sauron
Even sauruman wanted ring so he can overpower sauron .
Frudo never wanted to give ring to enemy or for the matter to anyone ,he just wanted to keep the ring for himself before gollum chew off his finger .
@@karanparmar4754 Smeagol had the ring while he was alone in tunnels of the Misty Mountains while Sauron was not in power. Sauron's power is able to manipulate the user to give itself to a person who would present it to Sauron, or put it in the right circumstances. Frodo also was not overcome by the ring long enough to have fallen into giving it to Sauron. He fell finally to desire, but had no time to have his will taken from him.
Legolas definitely sensed danger I think In the books he made brief eye to eye contact with lurts but he wasn't sure if he actually saw him
@@katherinewilson1853 Then what was the moment just later in the movie where Frodo went up to the top of Aman Het, put the ring on, and saw Sauron face to face? Or on the plains of Gorgoroth in Mordor where Frodo was transfixed under the gaze of Sauron? Weren't those examples of the Ring drawing Frodo towards Sauron? Just curious; I'm always down for learning more Tolkein.
I can't believe that they left out the part were Legolas Shot down a freaking Nagul.... Well the flying beast that was carrying a Nazgul anyway....
***** I guess he was leaving it for a big reveal during the Black Marshes scene. The thinking behind it was that the audience would probably be like "oh shit they're back and they've got that"
Still, that part didn't really do anything for the plot... It would have been wayy cooler if they'd showed off badass Leggy instead of just leaving him as eye candy.... Don't mind me too much: I'm just voicing my opinion/ranting a little.
SkyAngel0Kerian and I was just pointing out a possible reason why he didn't include it.
You have a point...
WHAT???? :O
"I will not lead the ring within 10 leagues of your city" powerful and shows the distrust thst Aragorn had for other men
"a hundred leagues"
I think its sad how Aragorn grew to hate his own people, regarding them as weak, and put the Elves on a higher pedestal than they frankly deserved. It's often pointed out that the only reason the Elves of the later Ages were seen as perfect beings was because all the rotten apples either got themselves killed in the First Age or fled to Valinor across the sea after the War of Wrath. The ones who remained then spent thousands of years mellowing out. Even Galadriel was a bit of a bitch in the beginning, only coming to Middle Earth so she could rule a realm of her own.
@@Wanderer628 He didnt grow hate of any kind, he just distrust Denethor because he knew him since his youth, when he was serving Steward Ecthelion, Denethors father.
1 League = 3.4 Miles
@@Wanderer628 Well, the elves raised Aragorn and they are in part his lineage. I can see why he's a little loathe to take up his human side.
Why was this scene cut? I liked it, and it shows a little more of Boromir.
4 letters: time
Mainly for pacing and time to get the film under 3 hours.
I quite liked the ‘Extended Edition’ though, it’s probably the best out of the ones for the trilogy with the least amount of significant changes, but so much more detail added!
@@andrewburgemeister6684 the extended tw0 towers is way better also IMO, they deleted quality scenes
@@concars1234 agree, Two Towers EE is quite good also (although the Merry and Pippin forest water scene where they muck around is a bit questionable as to whether it adds anything).
Return of The King was my least favourite of the Extended releases as some of the changes were actually detrimental to the film (the extended Army of the Dead scenes being the most notable as they sort of ruin the suspense as to whether Aragorn was able to convince them to fulfil their oath to Gondor).
Why it's cut...? So people buy movie again (extended version) "We're in the money"
I gotta admit this (even without extend) is one he'll of a scene omfg

@@tommythetrain1945 Yeah!!
0:37 that music with the shots is so amazing :’)
Few of us are lucky to have a great friend like Sam in our lives

That scene from 0:02-0:04 is breathtaking!
100% Pure New Zealand/Middle Earth!!
every inch of earth before industrialization.
amazing acting by sean bean, i love how his voice sound kinda afraid but also angry
Clips from the original trilogy are popping up on YT so I have to watch. I remember first watching these films in theater as a teenager and knowing these were truly epic. The style of each shot has not aged at all. A timeless cinematic masterpiece!
Is there any other film as beautiful looking as these films? I cannot think of any.
Nothing yet
Matrix or Leone Westerns spring to mind, but ofc different styles.
Boromir sort of more or less accepted Aragorn as heir by urging him to go to Gondor and that he's scared of accepting his heritage.
nahhh.. Dude was trying to fish him coming to Gondor when he has the upper hand to take the ring. He is as greedy as any man who wants the power of the ring and Aragorn knew better not to trust him nor his father
@@Amr_D Yeah aragorn could see through it and had good judgement
@@Bullet-Tooth-Tony- fr man. He only accepted Aragorn as his king on his death bed. Typical men behaviour. He potrays men's behaviour at its finest in this.

@@Amr_D
Seriously you had to implant this topic here? You are taking advantage of a scene so you can implant a narrative that is no part of this. Shameless is what I call that behavior.
Sam is the broest of all bros. What a fuckin' legend.
The scene where Boromir sees Gollum, and tries to get Aragorn to go to Minas Tirith was cut from the theatrical version, and that pisses me off. They cut out way too many scenes that flesh Boromir out.
It's a difficult balance to make. Ultimately, the footage still exists, so it's not that bad. I would have liked if they fleshed out more of the characters, like Legolas and Gimli. But ultimately PJ was making a film for mainstream audiences, so I understand why it was done.
I've got the extended version of the DVD but still have never seen that scene before! Maybe it was just on blu-ray.
After watching the extended version, the regular version became unwatchable for me because I always want more of this
"You can't help me sam. Not this time"
That is just down right cruel :(
Get some sleep
It’s because Frodo feels it’s his burden alone that no one else can carry or understand. He loves Sam as we all do, but just that he didn’t want to wear Sam down with the perilous task of destroying The Ring.
Sam though is a loyal friend right till the end of the quest, and didn’t give up, it’s why his speech at the end of The Two Towers is one of the all time best!
he didnt want Sam to carry the burden of the ring since it was already taking a tole on Frodo the last thing Frodo wanted was to let it effect any of his friends especially after seeing what it could do to Boromir.
when boromir and aragorn were arguing, the way viggo was pronouncing the whispered words reminded me of him playing lucifer in prophecy.
La première fois que j'ai vu ce film je devais avoir sept ou huit ans. J'en ai bientôt 22, et ça restera toujours mon préféré.
I wish I had as much support as frodo on my lifelong journey. N I pray for all of u as well💯💪🙏✝️
This entire series is such a great work of art - will always be my favorite movie and imho the best movie(s) I’ve ever seen
can't believe they cut this. for one thing, it gives boromir a reason to be in the script!!!!
Hate how a lot of these videos were taken down by RUclipss copyright sharks
Yeah
Boromir's speech here made him so much human... T_T
Powerful scene
“I promised Gandalf that I would.” I find it sweet that Sam constantly says this whenever he shows concern about Frodo. We all know perfectly well that promise or no promise, he will gladly do anything for Frodo, even go to his own death. It’s like he’s too shy to admit just how much he cares for Frodo so he uses Gandalf’s promise as an excuse. But Frodo clearly sees right through it, like we do. I think that’s beautiful.
Lol 9 dislikes... Nazguls?
Emilia Marek scratch that, 9 nazguls, sauron and the balrog.
22 now... A few orcs joined :)
@@tindomul8977 and... they have a cave troll.
Yunno I wonder if one of the reasons Boromir wanted to go to Gondor was to see Faramir one last time, and to introduce him to Aragorn.
02:59 Me when Peter Jackson added Elves at Helm's Deep and Oathbreakers at the Pelennor Fields.
Boromir was a such good character. Saddly, who never read the books or watch de extended version can see this. Boromir and Faramir suffer a lot with cinema cut.
This convo for me at the end is really the start of what made Aragorn consider doing his duty and accepting his place of who he is really.
Aragon in the Book: "How my heart yearns for Minas Anor (Minas Tirith) and the walls of my own city."
Aragon in the Movie: "I would not lead the Ring within a hundred leagues of your city (also Minas Tirith)."
ummmmm what lol....
The film introduces internal conflict for Aragorn regarding his hesitancy to accept his position as King of Men. Which is frankly more interesting than the books where he is really a superman
@@codyvandal2860 oooooo that's a hot take.
@@kiwicoproductions2828 to be clear I love the books but I think not all the changes in the film were bad
The books got almost all the characters true hearts and motivations wrong. It was super sad for a hard core Tolkien lover. The books were a huge part of my late middle school and high school reading. I loved reading and all kinds of books before reading TLOTRs, but reading the trilogy cemented a deep and abiding love of actual paper books and reading. In the digital age fewer and fewer people actually read paper books now but there is something about a 400 page paper book that is so much better than an Ipad or Kindle or whatever. The paper and binding and ink weave together this smell that is unique and amazing. And then the weight of the book and actually turning the pages and getting ink on your fingers if it's bran new. I love all that. Anyways. I was always disappointed in the movies vs the books. Especially "The Return Of The King." There were SOOOOO MANY more amazing, strong, and heroic figures in the book vs the movie. And Aragorn's ride thru the "Path Of The Dead"? In the books he had most of his brothers of the Dunedain with him and Gimli And Legolas, and Elronds twin sons, Elladan and Elrohir, also rode with Aragorn over the Paths Of The Dead." It would have been sooooo much better if they had made that true to the books. And Gondors actual arms was a LOT larger in the books than movies, and there were some VERY strong and brave men amongst them that helped Gandalf a great deal. The book said something like "and wherever they went mens hearts where lifted and the shadows passed and they were no longer afraid, but when the moved on the shadow slowly returned and they were afraid again."
Boromir, only member of the fellowship that I think is a real human being. With all his faults, doubts, desire and failures. Boromir is the one true human
Aragorn actually has Elven blood, so that’s accurate
@@raspberryflash583So does Boromir. He wasn’t raised by Elves like Aragorn was, but both are of the Dunedain.
Oh cool@@TheMan05555
@@raspberryflash583No, he doesn't. The Dunedain aren't Elvish in nature, they are descended from the line of Numenor, and thus are given longer lives than normal men.
However Aragorn has no Elvish blood in his veins.
The beat from uruk-hai's theme was the same beat the trolls played during their march on Minas Tirith just slower.
I wrote before that after Boromir was shown the faith of Gondor, which made him realize that his father and himself aren't fit to rule (hence why he said he sees no hope eventhough Galadriel told him there is still hope), and which made him start to respect Aragorn and admit that he is the savior.. He shows in this scene that he blames the long absence of the true ruler for the downfall of his kind (mankind) and he urgently wants to turn that around. He shows he has his heart in the right place but that he's also oblivious of the weak nature of mankind.. Something Aragorn knows all to well as his heir, Isildur, took the ring when he became king, instead of destroying it.
Lord of the Rings reigns supreme. The trilogy is to movies what Michael Jackson’s Thriller is to music!!! Out of 800 award nominations, they won 475!!!! Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean, Marvel Cinematic Universe, Star Wars, Transformers, and other movies made after it will never reach the achievements that Lord of the Rings has earned. Especially not Twilight (but then again, anything’s better than Twilight).
Leave twilight out of this🤬
God this takes me back to more easier days
Are there anyone who think the river is fucking awesome?
That Gollum log scene reminds me of the one in the animated film
Aragorn: right let’s take the ring to your city where you can confiscate the ring by force and lead your warriors to the slaughter and deliver the ring forever into the hands of Sauron…
Every single actor in this scene did an EPIC job. Wow, just wow. What amazing acting.
Fast forward to today, looking at the pathetic TV series, it’s sad.
Absolute perfect casting for every part, and the actors delivered. One of the best ensembles for a movie of all time.
I wonder how different Boromir would’ve been if he’d met Gollum and seen what the Ring can do to somebody
Probably the same as Faramir when he met Gollum.
100 leagues? Damn that’s far it’s 556 km, Aragorn really doesn’t trust Men
Funny thing is Im pretttyyy sure that they are already within a 100 leagues of Gondor as they talked.
Sam is such a good friend.
this movie is so remenscent
i wish we the fans of LOTR couldve seen more of Lurtz and the UrukHai in action ):
Max Oropeza maxorpeza
You probably don't wish that actually. A lot of fans already complain about The Hobbit being filled with loads of extra material not in the book.
less is more, it was a perfect amount in my opinion
"You can't help me, Sam. Not this time."
Oh, he is don't know. ;)
"Gondor has no king, Gondor needs no king"......The fact that Boromir goes from that to embracing Aaragon as his King.....absolutely amazing. I wish we could of seen King Elessar and Boromir together😭😭😭😭
Aragorn has a point but it was nice to see Boromir's brother prove him wrong
Crazy how Sam wasn’t corrupted even the smallest ounce by the ring, being right next to it for so long, and then even carrying it for a day on top of that.
Hobbits is one the most mentally resilient folks in the Middle earth.
he is in the books
Boromir is one of my favourites
2:24
If you only knew, Frodo.
They shouldn't have cut this scene it gives Boromir's character such light and arc which makes his death even more tragic.
You can't help me Sam.not this time.Saddest statement ever,nobody knows what pain he's got inside.It is hard to admit but Frodo is greatest character of whole movie,Someone who can not fight ,but bigger then all those great wariors next to him
Merry: How many did you eat?
Pippin: Four.
(FARTS)
How can people hate this movie?
If a spectre of Howard Shore and a quarter of his horn section followed me daily, every day would be spur the most poignant moment of my life
Do you think Legolas and Lurtz saw each other through the trees?
Possibly, Uruks used to be Elves just disformed into these violent beasts so I'm assuming their senses are still intact
Ah. THAT River.
2:58 You notice Aragorn's hair is different than in the rest of the video?😉
Best movie
now we know why boromir was pissed at aragorn
One simply does not watch the Lord of the Rings trilogy without watching the uncut versions.
I watch the theatrical versions, and pretty simply too
Frodo: Dorothy Gale
Sam: Toto
The Fellowship: Dorothy's friends
Saruman: Wicked Witch
Uruk Hai: Flying Monkeys
XD
Good one
Boromir here feels desperate - thats why he is clinging to Aragorn. He knows that his will to resist the ring is failing because he wants to use it for good. He thinks this is the only way to save Gondor - yet he begs Aragorn to come to Minas Tirith because there is a part of him that wants Aragorn to save them so he doesn't have to use the Ring.
man Aragorn knows that as soon they take the Ring to Gondor Boromir will get them captured and Take the ring to His father
Eric Monaco Ericmonaoo
He wouldn't take the ring to Denethor. He would keep it for himself. Remember, the ring has the power to corrupt. Even Frodo couldn't destroy the ring In the end. It was left to Gollum to bite Frodo's finger off and fall in the lava.
@G E T R E K T And Denethor thought that by using the ring he would be abel to control Sauron and defeat him but reality he would either end as a Nazgul or Like Gollum
0:30 Frodo looks so tired already...
He knew that as he approached Mordor the power of the ring increased and that soon he would need to leave society and go alone. That's why when they disembark in the forest he disappears and Boromir goes after him
Do you think Legolas and Lurtz could see each other through the trees?
Here legolas just felt their presence, they did not see each other
The dwarves should have been able to resist the one ring better then hobbits. That's when the 7 rings to the dwarf lords didn't fuck them up like the 9 rings to men. They literally made of stone
0:57 That scene reminds me of Apocalylto movie. Anyone who had seen the movie will understand.
Mel Gibson's
Aragorn is very different in the books. He wants to get back to Minas Tirith and rally his own people as fast as he can without compromising the quest.
The movies took liberties with many characters, most notably the butchery of Faramir
@@saar144 They made Faramir more complex in the movie. In the book he didn't think twice about letting Frodo go in his quest, in the movie he was more conflicted which was a good thing.
@@SHVideografie "more conflicted" =/= "more complex", nor is it automatically or even a majority of the time 'a good thing'. good characters are not inherently worse or less interesting than 'conflicted' characters, and any storyteller saying otherwise is admitting he is a hack.
@Luc Germain I disagree. To me it seemed like the screenwriters were either being lazy using the ‘conflict’ trope, arrogant to think the way Tolkien wrote his characters wasn’t compelling enough for the big screen and that they can di better, or both.
@@SHVideografie You don't understand the source material whatsoever. Faramir has a "glint" in his eyes when he sees the Ring and is momentarily tempted, but just like Gandalf and Galadriel and (in the movie) Aragorn, Faramir rejects that temptation.
Movie!Faramir's arc doesn't work at all in the film because there's 0 development. In the book, Faramir spends the entire time getting to know Frodo. They forge a genuine friendship by the end of Frodo's stay in Henneth Annûn, and so Faramir's decision to let him go is based on trust. Frodo has earned Faramir's trust. In the movie, they have 0 positive interactions. Faramir ties Frodo and Sam up, doesn't engage with them, and refuses to get to know Frodo on a personal level at all. Furthermore, movie!Faramir sees Frodo almost give the Ring to a Nazgûl, which should incentivize Faramir to not let this total stranger go into the Enemy's land. Instead, movie!Faramir's "arc" just... happens. There's no explanation or build-up. He simply changes his mind for no reason and lets Frodo (a total stranger) go because the plot needs him to. This is bad writing. A way to bridge the gap between the movie and book would be to actually show that Faramir is conflicted. Have him get to know and talk with Frodo on their way to Osgiliath and show Faramir start to like and respect him. Faramir would then be torn between Frodo, his new friend he has respect for, and Denethor, his distant father he wants to please. That would be infinitely better, and it would be a whole lot more faithful to Faramir's characterization in the book.
Peter Jackson never explains why Faramir has any change of heart. He doesn't know Frodo in the movie, and he has no reason to trust him at all. He simply changes his mind because the plot needs him to. Peter Jackson never takes the time to explain why or how Faramir grows. He simply does because the narrative needs him to. That's not a good A-to-B arc.
Did they actually see eachother at 1:00 ?
Darth Revan
Ah thanks
Existing Name yeah I think Tolkien's elves have powerful hearing and sight.
There's actually a mistake in there too. Legolas looks on his left, to the east, while he should be looking on his right, because the urukhai were on the western bank, since they follow the river to the south. It may be a small error, or that shot was made for the orc archers attack scene at the eastern bank (which never made the movie due to flooding in New Zealand)

Boromir was a good man
The river Anduin.
Sam is so great.
I would love to see an alternate vision where saruman actually tries to use the urukhai to stand against sauron
Since this was the Uruks' first time leaving Isengard, do you think Saruman used his magic to ensure that they knew where to go? I would ask the same question for when he sent his army to Helm's Deep.
Who would in a fight, the Dothraki vs the Uruk Hai?
The Anduin is not the great river. New Zealand is actually a bit short of very broad rivers. Tolkien tells us that Sirion is the great river. But actually we have a much greater river - the Amazon! It drains myriads of hectares of rainforest.
G. Thomás Hart Anduin literally means Great River or Long River in Sindarin, so...yeah its the great river. The Amazon is really huge but that has nothing to do with Middle Earth. Sirion was a large river but not as often reffered to as great river, and at the end of the first age it ceased to exist so Anduin is the true great river.
I like the idea how smegol keep following them.but do you think he knows the way to the elven forest.
Was Boromirs plan really to take the tiny army from Minis Tirith and charge into Mordor?
