It triggers me that people could ever think of him as a villain. Yes he fell quickly to the rings corruption but not out of malice or desire for power for himself, he'd spent his entire adult life fighting Mordor alongside his brother with no hope of victory. The desire to protect his people drove him mad with desperation. Boromir is the most human character in the story.
True thats why boromir my favourite character than aragorn
Wait people think he was a villain?
@@Multicharachter I see videos filled with comments saying he was an arsehole and other such insults until his redemption when that's BS.
Arthas Menethil, from Warcraft, always reminds me of Boromir. Both were beloved champions of their people... Their only desire was to protect them but fate was not kind to neither of them... Such a tragedy...
Agreed!
one of the most realistic characters, with his downs and pros, yet with honest intentions
Olivera Ned Stark
I agree. Such a sympathetic character.
Yeah, he represents common humanity. Many flaws, always struggling to do better. I really like the character arc, hero of his people, carrying their faith, failing to resist temptation, the regret, the attempt to redemption, death with honor, inspiring the future king of Gondor.
petoz2 you are very wrong my friend just wrong
petoz2 what movies do you like then?
"The mightiest man may be slain by one arrow, and Boromir was pierced by many" - Pippin
Boromir has always been my favourite character in the fellowship.
Gondor
@@shbsuri Same here. To me he seemed to be the most human character, no pun intended. He went through what I think a real person would go through in extremely difficult times. He made mistakes but took responsibility for them.
Movie name plz
@@ijasijas8828 lol
"I would have followed you my brother, my captain, my king "
Damn those lines still give me shivers. True son of gondor right there.
Interestingly enough, Tolkein has stated (I forget exactly where) that he actually most likely would not have had he lived, due to his pride and his loyalty to his father.
Spencer Grady but it didn’t look like he really like his father that much.
@@flugame8439 he had a very large amount of pride and loyalty for his father and Gondor, and more specifically his family being the line of Stewards. In his mind, they had led and protected Gondor for so long that there was no need for a king, as the line of Stewards was also descended from Numenor, though not nearly as pure as Elendil's line. So while Boromir came to respect and maybe even consider Aragorn a friend, he eventually would have disagreed with some of his policies or his way of ruling.
@@spencergrady4575 why would you belive such stupid thing,if you ask me he was someone who love Gondor true,he NEEDED to belive Stewards were strong to save his people and he was loyal to his father but at the end he was true man,everything how it went down at the end he understand his wrong doing.Someone who got pride and loyalty will not go againts the one who comes from lines of kings its beyond illogical.
@@gospaironija2762 lol calm your tits holy crap. This was stated by Tolkein in one of his excerpts, don't get mad at me.
I love how Aragorn took his bracers and wore them for the rest of the series too - to take a little piece of him with him
Yes, it was a nice touch. It was Viggo's idea, if I'm not mistaken.
They had a +5 against Orcs man, of course he took them!
@@DanielCollins85 😂 And resistance to arrow damage.
It was supposed to signify Aragron's promise to Boromir, that he would return to their people one day.
I’ve never noticed this and now feel quite silly
Isildur: Is corrupted by the ring and dies with 3 arrows to the back after trying to claim it.
Boromir: Is corrupted by the ring before overcoming it and dies with 3 arrows to the chest defending it.
Being overcome by evil or overcoming evil, it's the same in our lives
@@andrewhodyss9092 does it make us evil ?
@@quickquickdraw1581
For me, no
To others perhaps
No matter which we have the choice which
The only difference is that one did it for his greed while the other did it for the welfare of his people
@@voltza030rk4 The ring corrupts by appealing to the deepest of desires, noble or ill. This makes Boromir's fall all the more tragic, for he spoke true in his desire for the strength to defend his people.
Boromir in the books, Moria chapter, blew the horn of Gondor and made the Balrog hesitate for a moment.
I haven't read the books (buhuh!) Could someone explain to me why the Horn of Gondor would change the mind of a Balrog, even just for a second?
John Poppers i think he is joking to show how Boromir was a badass in the books but in the movies he feels more like a villain/weakling especially if you don’t watch the extended versions
@@fabien.d6640 i recommend the Phil Dragash theatrical audiobook for an amazing experience.
@@fabien.d6640 Actually, it's in the Bridge of Khazad-dûm chapter.
"The dark figure streaming with fire raced towards them. The orcs yelled and poured over the stone gangways. Then Boromir raised his horn and blew. Loud the challenge rang and bellowed, like the shout of many throats under the cavernous roof. For a moment the Orcs quailed and the firey shadow halted. Then the echos died as suddenly as a flame blown out by a dark wind, and the enemy advanced again."
The balrog was just startled by a loud sound coming from an unknown source that isn't supposed to be in Moria.
@@ManiacalClone I'm sure balrog knew the what horn of gondor is.
Boromir represents the weakness that's in Men that Aragorn has to beware of, but he also represents the nobility that makes Men worthy of not giving up on.
I heard a great one "Boromir is what Men are, Aragorn is what Men must be."
@@TheRuddster95 I’d disagree with that quote. As much as I love Aragorn. He gave up on hope on his own race, Boromir on the other hand have fought an evil that has faced his home for many years and his kin before him faced the same evil. All while Aragorn turned his back on them.
Even though Boromir got corrupted by the ring. He never turned on his people for his own wishes. Aragorn only left because of his kin who took the ring, not understanding that the reason Sauron lost it for many years was because of his kin.
Well said. My kids after watching Fellowship were like "Boromir was a baddie" and i said "Nay, he was just a Man".
"Yes, there is weakness, there is frailty, but there is courage also, and honor to be found in Men" -Boromir
he pretty much foreshadows his own character arc with these lines
@@__mindflayer__ He will remember it before the end.
In the books. Bormir stood with Gandalf against the Balrog!
well i missed that then...
"With a bound the Balrog leaped full upon the bridge. Its whip whirled and hissed.
'He cannot stand alone! ' cried Aragorn suddenly and ran back along the bridge. ' Elendil! ' he shouted. 'I am with you, Gandalf!'
`Gondor! ' cried Boromir and leaped after him."
Boromir and aragorn
Ayy thanks for the spoiler mate
@@MrPablosek books been out since the 1500's lad.
How can you not love Boromir
It's impossible.
ONE and ONLY. Rest in Peace....Son of Gondor.
I want to like this comment but it’s at its eleventy first like so how could I
One does not simply not like Boromir
@@theblaze5530 there is bravery there that does not sleep.. The very man you see is riddled with nobility and good intentions..not with ten thousand dislikes could you hate this man..it is folly.
tau rauross best comment I have ever seen anywhere
"Yes, there is weakness. There is frailty. But there is courage also, and honor to be found in Men"
Boromir died at the Gates of Argonath, the very doorway of Gondor.
Died defending the meek as well just like how Gondorians of Old protected the weak from Sauron. died like a True Steward of Gondor.
Glad to see people still intrested in the best trilogy ever made :')
Always!!
LOTR.IS.LEGENDARY.AND.TIMELESS.
I WILL ALWAYS LOVE LOTR

“harry potter is much better” - this is how you recognize a bad taste nerd virgin
They just played fellowship in theatres the other day and it still hits as hard the 40th time as it did the first. Greatest trilogy ever made.
Made with love. Love can do wonderful things...
Yakov Sanctius there is nothing more heart warming then watching how much they loved making these films, I could also watch the behind the scenes just as much.
They played it theaters !? Where ?
@@voni5770 It was just my local theater, you'll just have to be lucky I guess. Our theater is called Cineplex.
i just did an extended edition and cried like every time the shire theme played... these movies are A MASTERPIECE.
Boromir was one of the youngest members of the fellowship--younger than Frodo and barely older than the other hobbits. He had a special comradery towards them, like an older brother. Perhaps he was thinking of his own little brother back home, still fighting to protect everything they knew and lived.
Boromir's love and faith in Gondor led to his downfall. Like Frodo's love for the shire, Gondor was always on Boromir's mind. Especially after leaving Lothlorien, he gets increasingly agitated as the others refuse to go anywhere near Gondor, as their lack of trust feels like a slap in the face to all that his people have sacrificed to keep them safe. Ironically, he himself is slow to recognize the contributions of the Dunedain. The ring works on Boromir and his doubts about a quest that seemed doomed from the beginning. He grows angry that in the off-chance that this incredibly dangerous mission is a success, his people will be the sacrificial lamb to Mordor in the meantime.
Those fears and his relative youth are what make him so easily tempted by the ring--and that to me is the tragedy of Boromir--it knew how good he was, and how to twist that goodness into temptation.
I've been scrolling for legit like 5 minutes reading all these great captions, but mN this one takes the cake. This is a true insight and understanding into the malice of the ring and into its attack on Boromir. Ty for taking the time to write this. I appreciate it greatly. Boromir is one of my favorite characters, and his death and struggle move me very deeply.
The best analysis of Boromir and his story I've had the pleasure of reading
Good points. Aragorn was 120 years old at this point? So easily 4x as old as Boromir.
Exactly why in retrospect he says, "Forgive me, I did not see." (In the film). In the moment of his death, and valiant defense of Merry and Pippin (The little ones), he has some clarity. The ring has no hold on someone who is about to die, maybe as they will never be of use.
You either die a villain or live long enough to see yourself become a hero again
Isn't that the opposing what the saying was?
I know it's meant to be funny, but the way you played this quote really hit home. Boromir is one of those examples that shows that it's NEVER too late to right a wrong.
@@ElessarMMA What did he do that was wrong? Be human? He slew about 100 orcs all coming for the hobbits. He stood in their way - Alone. He paid for his weakness with his life.
@@Zerinth He made the mistake of giving in to the powers of The One, which, to state it ironically, only makes him human. He righted that wrong by doing what you just described though, he fought courageously and died on his feet against all odds, like a true warrior would.
@@ElessarMMA I dont think you can call Boromir giving in to the powers of the one ring *his mistake*...given that every single other character in Middle Earth would also make this mistake (with sole exception to Tom Bombadil) Sauron attacked Boromir continually (via the ring) thinking he was the weakest link...but imo Sauron was wrong and Boromir was actually the strongest link in the fellowship chain. Critical tactical error imo. How do you get the Ranger to become a king when he has doubts himself? You get a so-called weaker character to go through the fire and end up sacrificing themselves for the sake of the hobbits, Gondor, and Middle Earth. All Aragorn can do is try to live up to Boromir's sacrifice = which he does.
"Our people..." how Sean Bean delivers that one line is so emotional and moving to me
It's a realization that if anyone could reunite the divided kingdoms of men, it was Aragorn.
I hate when people say all the characters in LOTR are black and white . Boromir is one of the most complex fantasy characters I have ever seen
Saruman and Galadriel too.
One of them pass the test (G) while the other turned against the White Council and betrayed his former allies.
Are we all going to forget Gollum? He's by far among the most complicated characters in fantasy in general with a huge personality disorder.
People who say that are used to cannon fodder sitcom dramas that spoon feed them garbage character development and plot. They don't know their ass from their elbow.
Your not alone.
And Theoden! Amazing characters
As a kid I thought Borimir was a selfish "bad" man. A villain almost. But as an adult I see he was a noble man willing to do what ever it took to protect his people. Cutting his most important scenes did him no justice.
I have the same opinion, its a pitty,the scene between Boromir,Faramir and Denethor was cut. It shows his good side and everything what he did, it was just for his people and he wanted his father to be proud of him. He didnt want to dissapoint anybody. He was such a great man 👍🔝😢💜
This is why the extended cut should be the only version of the films people should watch
Agreed, after seeing the extended cuts and how much insight it shows for Boromir and Faramir, it is the only version I can ever watch. I am glad to have experienced the theatrical cut, and then rediscover the extended cut and bring a new and richer experience of the films
Sean Beans best death of all
Boromir was a true captain. Out of all men without destiny. Without a purpose. He resisted the ring at the very end. Living a life in fear of it from what his fathers desire for it. He chose to do what was right. To sacrifice his life as the true man of Gondor. But the journey doesn't end for him. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it. White shores, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise. Boromir the man of Gondor rests with his people.
Actually, Gandalf doesn't know what the path of death for men is, since he has a different afterlife than Pippin and Boromir.
@@hierony5471 comforting words for a hobbit in fear for his life and others.
@@enegmatixerebro Indeed. One of most beautiful scenes of the film. :)
Not his best death. Ned starks death made the game of thrones story kick off
@@bryan557 so true, it was the most crucial event in GoT
It’s so beautiful how The completion of Boromir’s character arc is the catalyst for the start of Aragorn’s character arc
Hearing the horn of Gondor roar, in the background, as Boromir proclaims "never again shall the enemy take our lands" is a testimony to his integrity.
😞
Only in his final moments did he realize the pale light lingering in the West was Aragorn (and the men of the west) and not the ring.
Damnit Boromir, if only you could have restrained yourself for 2 more movies :'(
If only he kept hope! He had lost all hope of Men and of Kings. I blame his dad!!!!
@@SailorPhantom Why? His father did everything he could to defend Gondor.
Aragorn was mostly in the North, not in the west. The light could also stand for Gondor or the Uttermost West and Valar.
@@tarmairon431 the west is used to refer to all the lands of men west of the Misty Mountains as they originally came from the east and the east is deemed to be a darker place that more readily conforms to Sauron's power. It's both literally referring to the western lands and to lands settled by the survivors of Numenor and of the Edain/Dunedain (men of the west). So yes, Aragorn is, in essence, "the West."
@@dtice69 "The west" also refers to Rohan and Gondor. I'm just saying, that it is not clear, that the light in the west is Aragorn and I also don't think Boromir interpreted it as the One Ring.
In his last moment, after being driven mad by the power that corrupts even the most holy of men, he breaks free of that chain of greed, and became a man.
He has his flaw, as any other man, but in the end, he prove himself being a warrior of light.
A True *Son of Gondor.*
“My brother, my captain, my king.” 😭
It's raining
I really like this, it captures the mixed nature of Boromir's time on middle earth. He's got many incredible capacities, he's a superb warrior, an inspiration for his men, courageous in the face of overwhelming odds and yet even this man was deranged by the magic of the ring. It truly reveals the lingering malicious presence of Sauron in the ring that such a titan of Gondor was bent to its will.
Thank you!:)
Well said💪
Boromir was easily corrupted BECAUSE of the man he was, he cared about Gondor more than anything else and in the ring he saw a chance to save his people. Obviously this makes him an easy target for the ring.
@@spencersmith4373 I'd say his father more corrupted him with the idea that the ring could be potentially be wielded by a man
@@Rock_Shady
Maybe, but it is quite clear from the books that the ring's influence is most strong on people who are themselves powerful and ambitious. Boromir was everything we see in a classical hero and ambitious not for himself, but for his people. It doesn't mean it's a character flaw, it just means it is a characteristic of his character that made him more susceptible to the ring's influence.
he couldn't see the hope, still kept figthing.
"I would have followed you my Brother, Captain, King. "
I swear this line bring me to tears. Just imagine Boromir fighting alongside his people once more. One of the bravest men in all of Middle-Earth. He fought bravely. Kept his honor. Be at peace, Son of Gondor.
Aragorn and Boromir, two faces of Professor Tolkien's emotional genius. Boromir, even during his last moment was true to his oath. His words reflect so I presume
My Brother--Oath of Blood
My Captain--Oath of allegiance
My King--Oath of duty and Respect
Our people...
1M VIEWS! That’s how we show respect to our boy Boromir!!
@Morinitio and?
We...the people!
@Morinitio you're either thick, a troll or uneducated. Whichever it is you make a fool of yourself. The kingdom of Gondor was founded by the numenorians to which they are both descendents of. Nothing racist about it
@Morinitio fuck u. Go watch fkin Netflix witcher. They have bunch of black guys there. And shiting on kanon with all this SJW
@Morinitio fuck u. Go watch fkin Netflix witcher. They have bunch of black guys there. And shiting on kanon with all this SJW
Boromir had the saddest death in any movie I have ever seen, Lord of the rings forever
Great acting, great character, Sean Bean is the perfect actor for dramatic medieval warriors!
Beautiful work my friend!
Thank you mate!:)
Not just medieval he was great in sharpe
You are our hero Boromir.
No matter what kind of life one has lived, no matter the mistakes they've made, dying fighting for Freedom, King and Fatherland will always be the most memorable gesture one can make. RIP Boromir. Amen!
Look to the statue behind him in the last scene, I love the fact that he is fighting for the last time under the sight of an old numenorean king, one of his ancestor.
They say you can still hear the sound of his horn from time to time if you're crazy enough to fish near the Rauros falls
"They took the little ones! Frodo, where's Frodo?"
Hits me everytime, on the brink of death, immediately his focus is still on protecting the hobbits...he’s my favorite LoTR character
I love how he confesses his sin to Aragorn and Aragorn doesn’t tell anyone that he fell to temptation. Just a little reminder that Tolkien was a devout Catholic. 😀
@@robertbusek30 Tolkien is one of the wisest Catholics I've ever seen. As a Catholic, the LOTR inspires me in a way that no other form of non-religous media can
A man of honour and valour who fought against the corruption of the ring to which lesser men would have succumbed
No, more than that, a frail man of great character who fell to the ring, but by honor and a true heart, rose again from that fall.
That is the lesson of Boromir, falling is just part of human nature, but it is equally human to stand again.
Facts
Boromir fell.... because his heart was too pure. One of absolute most human characters in all of literature.
Acting on another level. Sean Bean and Vigo Mortensen's portrayal of Boromir's distrusts of the ranger, and Aragorn's reluctance are truly breathtaking. Superb.
So glad these movies still get recognition even after a decade. 😁😀
almost two
These movies will always get the recognition they deserve because they are not soulless cash grabs like the current Star Wars.
@@SungurEge Preach dude.
@@SungurEge true. :'(
@@wolfborntv maybe I should edit. Lol
Favourite character in the books and films
Yeah ....
Boromir is the best character in LOTR.
Why? Because Boromir is the personification of mankind as we are. We are not angelic creatures like elves, fantastical like dwarves, nor the long lived, blessed Dunedain. We as men are brave and strong at our best, but liable to temptation, doubt and jealousy. Boromir at his best is man as we should be, but even he fails. He falls to temptation, fails to protect the hobbits, just as we all fail God, ourselves, and those around us. But Boromir's story does not end in disgrace, but redemption. He confessed his sins before the end, and even in falling to temptation, returned to claim back his honor. Like St. Dismas, he shows that there is that greatness in penitence and redemption, that all our sins can be redeemed by word and deed. His is the story of men, and I think then he is the most human of all the characters and interesting in terms of development.
"I am a Christian," Tolkien wrote, "and indeed a Roman Catholic, so that I do not expect 'history' to be anything but a 'long defeat' - though it contains (and in a legend may contain more clearly and movingly) some samples or glimpses of final victory."
In Boromir no doubt, and in the fall of the Arnorian kingdoms and the slow decay of Gondor, Tolkien envisioned the same long defeat, and the necessary duty in the face of the fallen world to fight for what is Good and Just. Therein he articulated the same hopeless despair, loss and dogged persistence. And in Boromir, Gondor and the reunified kingdom, we get those same glimpses of God's final victory on earth, of heroic sacrifice and the victory brought by it.
He is a dunedain and has longer life, not like Aragorn but
This🙏
very well said
This is the thing in Lord of the Rings that makes you feel everything so vividly. That sense of small, distant hope within bleak, persistent hopelessness. And yet, there is still some good left in this world, and it's WORTH FIGHTING FOR. Even worth dying for. And the day may comes when courage forsakes us and we break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day! BY ALL THAT YOU HOLD DEAR IN THIS WORLD, I BID YOU STAND MEN OF THE WEST! 😭😭😭
Thank you!
Это... шедевр. Тот случай когда ни капли не стыдно всплакнуть, тем более над любимым персонажем.
Очередной повод пересмотреть великую трилогию.
Boromir was my 2nd favourite after Aragorn. Just imagine if he didn t die here, and fight with his people at Minas T during the last moovie...
I would have liked that he is a true soldier and My favorite lothr caracter RIP My brothers and king
I always thought that imagine how awesome it would have been but alas a good story isnt good without a few tragic deaths of Virtuous Warriors.
@@blackpilloverdose1013 yeah it s true. But in the first movie we already have gandalf's death(not really). It would be amazing to see Boromir during the battle of Minas thirith
That's what he was hoping for..The tower guard shall take up the call..The Lords of Gondor have returned!!!
@G E T R E K T 905 "...our people"
My favourite character ever, this was a real tear jerker for me. I’ll argue till hell freezes over that Boromir wasn’t a villian. His love for his people corrupted him to take the ring. He was a hero, and in his last moments he displayed his true self. Boromir the protector, because that’s what he did.
People who say Boromir is a villain are crazy. He had weakness and was a flawed character, but he always wanted to protect people and he died a mighty hero.
As an adult I would say boromir is my favourite character.
At first I thought he was stupid and annoying, especially in contrast to aragon.
But now I can see, understand, and relate to him as a man.
His skill with the sword when fighting the hord of Uruk was amazing too!!
This poor man died protecting Gondor as well as the North. #thenorthremembers
Boromir is by gar the most loveable and honest character, especially in the movies. I mean, Look how much He put the safety of merry and Pippin over his own. He called out for merry when sarumans crebain searched for them, He protected them with his life and the first thing He told Aragorn after the fight Was that they took the little ones.
Favourite LotR character 💖💖💖
One of the best character story arches ever. A very real, caring, loving character. Admitted his mistake and went down fighting like a legend. Killing dozens by himself. He's just an epic character. A few moments of weakness.... just as everyone has, but he recognized his mistake and confronted it, confronted his fear, remembered his failure, and stood true to his oath. What a great character.
I never understood why this scene of Boromir in Minas Tirith before the council of a Elrond was cut from the film version that went to the Cinema.
So powerful and relevant to the story.
I just discovered it many years afterwards when watched the extended version.
Hi
I see this 1st time in my life. What the heck
🌟 *Son of Gondor!*
Brothers to the very end.
Nice name
King Aragorn II Shouldn’t your name be Elessar, since you now wear the crown.
@@argon2423 His real name is still Aragorn II Telcontar. Elessar ("Elfstone") is more of an epithet. It was prophezied to one day be his name, but it was in the end given to him by the people of Gondor, when they didn't yet know his real name because he was among them incognito, and so they called him Elfstone because of the Elven jewel he wore.
Anna Marianne Ahh I just assumed that once he became king his proper name was Elessar. Cheers for the clarification.
@@argon2423 You know what, I started to have self-doubt and checked my facts. Turns out I remembered it wrong. Elessar Telcontar was indeed his official regnal name used in later historical records. Aragorn is still his "real name", but in the same way as Joseph Ratzinger is the real name of pope Benedictus XVI, or Karol Wojtyla was the real name of pope John Paul II. Should never have doubted you, my lord.
Most of characters were finished once they got their hand on the ring but boromir withstood the urge and came back to his senses, which is what makes him a unique figure in the story.
The last words said to Boromir. "Be at peace, son of Gondor." He was a true son of Gondor. Even when corrupted by the ring he wasn't doing it for personal power, but for the betterment of his people.
Remember guys, Boromir is litteraly the only real human of the fellowship, and with all is responsability and weakness is able to resist and then achive redemptions versus the call from the ring,
Isildur fall in about half day.
"This city was once the jewel of our kingdom! A place of light, and beauty, and music. And so it shall be once more! Let the armies of Mordor know this: Never again, will the land of my people fall into enemy hands!
For Gondor! FOR GONDOR!
For Gondor! FOR GONDOR!
For Gondor! FOR GONDOR!
"They will look for him from the White Tower, but he will not return from mountain or from sea."
"Through Rohan over fen and field where the long grass grows
The West Wind comes walking, and about the walls it goes.
'What news from the West, O wandering wind, do you bring to me tonight?
Have you seen Boromir the Tall by moon or by starlight?'
'I saw him walk over seven streams, over waters wide and grey;
I saw him walk in empty lands, until he passed away
Into the shadows of the North. I saw him then no more.
The North Wind may have heard the horn of the son of Denethor.'
'O Boromir! From the high walls westward I looked afar,
But you came not from the empty lands where no men are.'"
"From the mouth of the Sea the South Wind flies, over sandhills and stones;
The wailing of the gulls it bears, and at the gate it moans.
'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.'
'Ask not of me where he doth dwell - so many bones there lie
On the white shores and the dark shores under the stormy sky;
So many have passed down Anduin to find the flowing Sea.
Ask of the North Wind news of them the North Wind sends to me!'
'O Boromir! Beyond the gate the seaward road runs south,
But you came not with the wailing gulls from the grey sea's mouth.'"
"From the gate of Kings the North Wind rides, and past the roaring falls;
And clear and cold about the tower its loud horn calls.
'What news from the North, O mighty wind, do you bring to me today?
What news of Boromir the Bold? For he is long away.'
'Beneath Amon Hen I heard his cry. There many foes he fought.
His cloven shield, his broken sword, they to the water brought.
His head so proud, his face so fair, his limbs they laid to rest;
And Rauros, golden Rauros-falls, bore him upon its breast.'
'O Boromir! The Tower of Guard shall ever northward gaze
To Rauros, golden Rauros-falls, until the end of days.'"
-The Lord of the Rings pg. 543-544; The Departure of Boromir
"You left the East wind to me....
But I will say naught of it."
James Valle very nice thank you
If you haven't already, i recommend listening to Lament for Boromir by Clamavi de Profundis. Most of the lyrics are from this paragraph.
@@whatspoppinsam I already have, and it was beautiful.
@@whatspoppinsam I second the recommend, and also a recommend Adele McAllister. She's done a lot of Tolkien's poems to song, and has quite a lovely voice. I particularly like the Lay of Nimrodel and I Sand of Leaves by her from the books, and Mar Vanwa Tyalieva that Tolkien wrote independantly.
I used to hate Boromir when I was younger, but now I think he's one of the most realistic and human characters out of all three movies. And a total badass
Imagine the morale boost during the battle of Minas Tirith if the Gondorians would have seen Aragorn and their captain arriving.
“I read Tolkien to my children, so they will know that Boromir is real.”
People always talk about Helm's Deep, but Boromir's last stand is fantastic. It's so heartpounding and I love that he was able to redeem himself before meeting his end.
Ironically that's why Gandalf chose Frodo to bear the ring. Only someone who didn't imagine how they could use it could've carried it so long. The natural leaders, people like Boromir, Aragorn, Gandalf, Elrond, Galadriel, Theoden, Saruman, Thranduil, Denethor... they all would have been, or were, tempted by the knowledge that with it, they could rise to power and with that power perhaps defeat Sauron and rule. And then shape the world as they wished to - who knows? What made Gandalf and Galadriel the best of them was the knowledge that even though they might wish to do good with the Ring, they would have ultimately been corrupted; and thus they did what Boromir could not do and refused it.
Boromir...OUTSTANDING played by sean Bean! I couldn`t imagine a better Boromir. Every time I watch the scene when he dies my heart breaks.
I would have followed you my brother, my captain, my king .
A tragic hero and a misunderstood man. His heart was in the right place. He acknowledged Aragorn as his king in his final moments which I find incredibly beautiful.
"I would have followed you, my brother... my captain... my king."
"Be at peace, Son of Gondor."
An interesting fact I never knew is that oaths hold a tremendous power in LOTR stories. That when the army of the dead was cursed by Isildur I it had such a huge effect only because they broke their oaths. That's why Faramir is so shocked to hear that his brother would break his oath and knowing his character realizes what the ring would do to him and/or his father.
One of the most underrated, overlooked hero's of the story and trilogy.
He just wanted to protect his people, man I love this video
Thank you!:)
Boromir will forever be one of my favorite characters of all time and a man to be respected. All he wanted was the strength to protect his people and end the war that threatened his home. He was a good and strong man but the ring was cunning. It took his desire for strength and corrupted it so that it drove Boromir to try and take the ring by force. Still, it did not completely consume him. he recognized his failing and fought to protect those in front of him, not Frodo who he betrayed or even someone of importance(as of yet in the story), but two simple hobbits. Ultimately it was in vain. He died and Merry and Pippin were taken and yet he took back his honor. He redeemed his betrayal. He became once again a good man because redemption is not earned through accomplishments, but by intentions.
Let the armies of Mordor know this! Never again, will the lands of my people fall into enemy hands!
If people want to see the true essence of who Boromir was as a person, before the ring corrupted his desire to do good and protect his people, then the scene with Merry and Pippin where he spars with them is everything. The way he laughs with them when they get one over on him, not a single sign of damaged ego or malice, just pure joy and amusement. That was what was at the heart of Boromir as a man.
I always liked Boromir, he is one of my favourite LotR characters. Love him. ❤
The older I get the more I feel like Boromir. So very human and prone to weakness
"In that moment his courage shone through
and his love conquered his greed,
and his heart conquered his fear."
We didn't see Boromir during a long time, in the movies, but enough to consider him as a leader, a warrior and the unforgettable Son of Gondor. Rest in Peace and.......FOR GONDOR!
Theoden and Boromir will forever be the most underrated characters in the trilogy
Boromir is a great example of man. One of the best written characters in the novels.
I don’t know why some people hate on Boromir like he’s honestly one of my favourite characters
Imagine being Boromir, all life, campaigns against the forces of sauron, they were defending middle-earth long before all others were bothered to do so, and his father, a man of anbition that was resented because gondor had to deal with all that alone, Boromir grew up in that, so the fact that in the end he saw Aragorn as a man that he would follow, that he would even call him king (this would certainly be considered as treason by his father and he knew that) shows the presence and command that Aragorn imposed, every one here that had to work a lot to a boss that didn't give a shit can relate to that. He just knew right and then that it was the right thing, his brother Faramir did too, only their father never could. A terrible father of two great sons.
Boromir is literally my favorite character because he is the most relatable. The desire to protect your people, your family, no matter the cost. You would use any sort of power to do it, even if it meant using the one ring.
Jesus this shit got me crying in work. Amazing work
He was not a villain. He was the best of us.
Boromir thought that the The One Ring was the last, pale light that still lingered in the West. In his final moments, he saw that it was really Aragorn, and died after swearing fealty to him.
He is perhaps the most controversial, but real human character in the book. I liked him a lot, but what Sean Bean did is : he made Boromir my favorite character in the movie. I literally cried when he died... And I love his character now!
In tears...
A Legend of Gondor dear to the hearts of all Free Peoples everywhere.
'Boromir, the Tower of Guard shall ever northward gaze, to Rauros golden Rauros Falls, until the end of days...'
Thanks
Absolutely fantastic tribute. You were able to perfectly display all the nuances and depth of this fantastic character. Not ashamed to admit it made me weepy. Fantastic video.
Thank you so much!:)
The fellowship is a small adventure where each member gets a moment to sing the praises of their people. Gimli takes the lead in Moria (But it was dead). Legolas in Lorien (But it was dying). But despite all his pleadings, Boromir never had the opportunity to take the fellowship to his home in Gondor. By the end of the short-lived fellowship in Amon Hen we realize, that instead Boromir had brought Gondor with him. It's only fitting that the fellowship finally reunited in Gondor, the one place Boromir never had a chance to show. And unlike all the other locales, it was the one with the brightest prospects of the future. The dawn of the age of men.
"Oh Boromir, the tower guard shall ever northward gaze
To Rauros, golden Rauros falls, untill the end of days"
Through Rohan, over fen and fields
Where the long grass grows....
Boromir is my favorite character. To me personally he's the most relatable of the fellowship. Great video! I'm looking forward to seeing what Amazon will do with their series
Thank you!:)
Are they?
Amazon will kill this series like they always do. If they don't go full blown woke in this I will be very surprised
"I would have followed you my brother.. My captain...my king"
I find it interesting that my three favourite characters are all the race of Men: Aragorn, Boromir, and Faramir. Aragorn, what all men should strive to be. Boromir, how great men fall. Faramir, how great men rise.
Rest in peace Son of Gondor
One of the most valiant warriors
Of the white tower.
Son of Gondor, a tale so grand,
Boromir, noble, tragic man.
From common roots his dreams took flight,
Not for pride, but love’s pure light.
For Gondor’s sake, and brother dear,
He strove to banish every fear.
With Sword of Kings, his fingers bled,
By fate’s cruel hand his path was led.
A broken blade, a shattered dream,
He cast aside with silent scream.
Unworthy, thought he, to be king,
For fear he could not mend the ring.
The Ring of Power, he did crave,
For home and honor, he would brave.
Yet Aragorn, the rightful heir,
Denied him thus, deepening despair.
To Frodo, small, the burden fell,
The man fraught with fear, did swell.
He felt the fellowship’s distrust,
Though he fought with might and just.
He could not see their hearts so true,
In their midst, a bond that grew.
Defending friends, he met his end,
By arrows struck, his shame to rend.
In dying breath, he saw at last,
The greatness in his life had passed.
Not in father’s will or crown,
But in the love of friends he had found.
A final act, a noble stand,
To safeguard all he held in hand.
A protector, kingly, in his way,
His sacrifice brought light to day.
Though death did claim him, veil so grim,
His deeds lived on, in hearts of kin.
Head so proud, his face so fair,
No strength left, for the son to share.
All Boromir's sufferings, patriotism, weakness, doubts, courage and leadership make him a tragic hero, one of the most human of the lord of the rings. It is sad to think that he could not see his sacrifices paid off at the end of everything, it would have been nice to see him alongside Aragorn, until the end. His titanic death does him more justice than any crown.
Be at peace,Son of Gondor!
Sean Bean just exudes this inner Nobility and Honor.... with a struggle within of his duty and doing whats right... thats why he was PERFECT for this role and the one as Ned Stark.....
Boromir was always my favorite character. His inner conflict made him interesting, compared to other members of the fellowship. His redemption was perfect.
Son of Gondor 😔
And one of Gondor's bravest ..
Happy birthday
I nearly cried on the instant when he was hit with arrows and you know a man doesn't cry.
"Even now there is Hope left"
One of Aragorns names was the Elvish word for 'Hope'.
His hope was with him all the time, I think he realised this at the end.
And that name is Estel.
Man when you saw his true story in the return of the king, you knew he was actually a hero.
I havent watched Game of Thrones when i saw what injustice happened to him in first few episodes, couldnt stand seeing son of Gondor dying again especially the way he did. But these are the movies of all movies. Will never stop watching !
