i absolutely love how frodo says. “you are not yourself” knowing boromirs true nature is good. the evil here is all the ring, i hate that thing. poor boromir…

Boromir's "transformation" in this scene is SO well done. He starts with genuine concern, moving to sympathy, moving to a desperate desire to protect his people, to a vicious desire to take the ring so quickly, but somehow so naturally. Talk about the road to hell paved in good intentions.

Love Sean Bean's acting here, he really sells the rage and desperation and then the agonizing guilt and shame.

As a kid, I hated Boromir because I thought he was evil from the start. But when I got older, I realized how wrong I was. He was never evil, he was just taken advantage of by the Ring and it fueled his insecurities and he gave into temptation. He was desperate to save his country because they were literally on Mordor's doorstep and Denethor put all the responsibility on him and the pressure was too much for him. I kept forgetting that the Ring is an actual sentient being that easily tempts people in turmoil. The Ring knew how to exploit him and it almost won but thankfully Boromir's true will realized what he was doing. I only wish Frodo knew that he didn't mean to attack him.

The "Frodo, Im sorry!" Breaks my heart, poor Boromir didn't want to do any of that.

Poor Boromir, to him, he wanted the ring for good, but in reality was being corrupted by it. Then redeems himself defending the Hobbits, and killing a fuck ton of Uruk-Hai while riddled with arrows. Sean Bean is a boss

The way he says Frodo when he realises what he's done is heartbreaking

Really like the touch of the ruined statue in this scene. I think it parallels Boromir's breakdown and the decayed state of Gondor. And if nothing else it makes the scene look even better.

The problem with having a big heart like Boromir's is that with all that love and desire to do good comes an unspeakable, crippling fear of failure and loss. The ring seized on that. It tore at his insecurities and anxieties until it was like a gaping, painful wound in his chest. The pain was so great that, like a wild animal, he lashed out to drive it away. Only when Boromir came back to his senses did he realize just what he had done, and that his fear had been made manifest by nothing else but his own actions. *Chef's kiss* what a movie

"I ask only for the strength TO DEFEND MY PEOPLE!" I absolutely LOVE how Sean Bean delivers this line, even when he is being corrupted by the Ring he is STILL thinking of others, and upon realizing what he had done, Boromir is genuinely distressed and ashamed of his own actions, and him shouting "FRODO! I'M SORRY!" is genuinely heartbreaking, but before he even has a chance to reconcile with Frodo, he's already in another perilous situation protecting 'the little ones', even as he is shot by three arrows, he continues to fight, protecting Mary & Pippin knowing fully well that this would be his last stand. While Boromir may have faltered, temporarily corrupted by the Ring's temptation, he dies a hero, protecting his Hobbit friends, and finally accepting Aragorn as "My brother... my captain... my king".

Boromir is hands down my favourite character. Hes just a man who wants what's best for his people. A character with such a big heart. When Gandalf fell in Moria, it was him who was comforting the hobbits.

Boromir to me is the best written and most interesting character of the movies. A figure of the tragic hero. A troubled mind. Not to mention brilliantly portrayed by Sean Bean

And this is the last time Frodo and Boromir met..

*I only ask for the strength to defend my people!*

When I was very young, this scene made no sense to me, and Boromier’s mental breakdown left me shook. Even without fully understanding the dialogue, you still feel Frodo’s anxiety through the screen.

Sean Bean played this scene as Boromir right as in the books. Emotions, expressions, intent everything. He will always be a great actor .

"Do you know what makes a good Uruk?" "The ability to fire three arrows in under a minute!"

If you listen carefully when boromir is saying give it to me you can hear Sauron’s voice in the background music, also after he falls you can hear a “gollum”

You know, as a kid I never really liked Boromir? I was sad when he died and I understood that he had "redeemed" himself somehow with his protection of the hobbits, but he was still the "bad guy" of the heroes, right? It's only when I grew up that I understood and realized that Boromir is one of the best characters. We all like to think we'd be like Aragorn and Gandalf, wise and humble, rejecting the ring because we know better. But I think we're most like Boromir. We'd think we could handle the ring and destroy ourselves. He's such a sad and well-written character with a noble heart.

"curse you and all the halfings!" And in the end he died trying to protect two of them.

The way he delivers "and you will beg for death before the end" is awesome. Sean Bean is a great actor

I don't think Amazon can make a masterpiece like these movies

"It should be mine, give it to me." Boromir said calmly.

Shows the power of the ring quite well in this scene. Boromir does want strength and power but with the intention of protecting his people. His actual ambition is good. So the ring uses that to call to Boromir, not unlike a demon presenting itself as an angel, promising what you most desire to hook you, then taken control of you. The cruelty of this ring is chilling. It uses you against you, then corrupts you to its own end. It costs Boromir his life, but he dies with honor. He was never the bad guy. He was just a man.

Boromir screaming for Frodo while hes in the wraith world is such a badass soundscape

Very sad Boromir was wasted so early and his brother was introduced so late. They both have good qualities and a very sad father.

What a performance by Sean Bean

him whispering What have I done made me fall in love with Boromir and realize the rings influence dropping off as Frodo left his vicinity. epic

Starting at 0:46 you can hear soft bass thrumming in the background. The same kind of thrumming whenever the ring is shown. It becomes louder the more aggressive Boromir becomes. Genius sound design to signal the keen eared viewer that the ring is corrupting Boromir.

I'll never stop loving this trilogy

I just want to say; Boromir had more pure intentions than Galadriel. He desired the ring to help his people. Galadriel desired to be a dark queen that people loved. Boromir was more noble in his heart than the oldest and wisest elf.

The color grading in the first movie was so good, just look at the color in this scene

Sean Bean was robbed. He deserved an Oscar nomination just as much as Ian McKellen did.

Something I greatly appreciate about Jackson's film is how he shows the development of Boromir's fear and desperation throughout the journey. I know it wasn't Tolkein's intention, but I feel like the books they cast Boromir in a bright light of pig-headed arrogance, and we didn't see a lot of his more noble virtues until the end.

Seeing a grown man devolve to that kind of cry, that inner child, overwhelmed, desperate hiccupping cry. That is agony.

Can we take a minute to appreciate the set designers and carpenters who made all the backdrops and props? I know intellectually that "stone" head is probably plaster or styrofoam faux-finished to look the way it did but it really looks like weathered stone that's been there for hundreds of years. All for something with maybe five seconds of screen time.

His greatest fear was realized: that he wasn't as strong as his father said he was

He actually wasn’t wrong…. Frodo indeed brought the ring to Sauron’s doorstep and eventually betrayed the mission of the Fellowship when he finally succumbed to the ring…..

One cool thing I noticed in this scene that people don’t talk about enough is the fact that as soon as Frodo leaves and the ring is no longer near Boromir, that’s when he starts to see what happened and starts to regret what he said to Frodo, which helps show that Boromir was being corrupted by the ring.

Wow Sean Bean nailed this performance I was impressed.

Never wanted anything for himself. He just wanted means to end what Gondor was facing. But, being too sure of his cause, was his ruin. He just thought keeping Gondor gave him justification and the Ring used that notion against him, driving him mad

Some of the best acting in the whole trilogy here. Sean Bean was perfect for Boromir.

Boromir is such an amazing character and Sean Bean such an amazing actor.

Notice he makes a "gollum" noise just before realizing that he has been defeated by the ring.

I now realize, so amazingly, WHY I loved LOTR/It’s the Word brought to life!! WOW!!!💙🕊️💙✝️💙✡️💙

Poor Boromir.🥺

Maybe its only me as a Tolkien fan but I think that even if I watched this movie 25 times (I watched it maybe 13 times over the years) it will never get boring just becouse I know the story, it will always make me think and feel a better way. And everytime I saw Sam closing the yellow door at the end I felt that I just saw a masterpiece one of the greatest the cinematography ever done - thats always my general feeling at the end of this film. :)

I haven't rewatched this scene for a long time and damn- I forgot how full of emotions it is, LOTR was truly a masterpiece

I've always loved Frodo's facial expressions in this scene. I'm fascinated by it.

20yrs on and the Fellowship is still my fav out of the three.

Boromir is possessed by the ring in this scene with those sound effects like its whispers to him. 1:33 1:47 1:52

Notice when the ring is out of his sight and he falls to the ground, his true self suddenly reveals itself

2:21 You know, if Gollum hadn't intervened Boromir really isn't wrong here...

I consider this the third and final motivation for Frodo to complete his quest throughout the next two films. 1. Seeing what it did to Bilbo in Rivendell. 2. Seeing the Scouring of The Shire in Galadriel’s mirror. 3. This scene, showing Frodo that even the strongest man of honour can be twisted by the rings corruption.

Ngl, boromirs death was an iconic scene, but imagine boromir in the next two movies. Imagine boromir fighting alongside Aragorn at the black gate, at helms deep, of course it had to happen so that faramir could be introduced in the way he was, and to continue the fall of denethor but man

How am I JUST now hearing that deep growl as he commands "Give me the ring" at 0:52 . Wow.

no way amazon can make such a good heartfelt scene like this

Still till now the best movie ever 😍😍

2:45 best part of the whole scene

Then he redeems himself by defending his companions with all his might and strenght. He gave a middle-finger to Sauron. Humans are beautiful creatures.

Damn I feel bad for Boromir here, and the whole fellowship actually.

Everyone, it seems to the possessor, must have a burden they carry, sometimes all the way thru life. It is unbearable at times and we must cast it off, only to have to pick it up again. Then there are those who try to convince us we don't need to torture ourselves with it. But it isn't our choice, really. ~~~~~~ May it be an evening star Shines down upon you May it be when darkness falls Your heart will be true You walk a lonely road Oh! How far you are from home Mornië utúlië (Darkness has come) Believe and you will find your way

"Jon, give me the Ring!" "Who's Jo..." "WINTER IS COMING, GODDAMMIT!"

2:35 Boromir says, "Gollum." After he falls.

2:23 ironically Frodo almost did that if it weren't for Gollum

"What chance do you think you have?" Love that line. Genuine concern, also an barely veiled threat.

If you listen closely you can hear the rings voice tempting him

Sean Bean would have made such an amazing Arthas in these years.... Also the "FRODO I'M SORRY!" at 2:57 cracks me up every time ;D

When he realized he was influenced by the ring, and the shame of what he said and did. Sean Bean is such a great actor.

Sean Bean was superb in this scene.

I love reading the books and I noticed reading recently in the book, in the council of Elrond when Frodo brought forth the ring, I believe the ring immediately began to effect Boromir because like in the films he's the first person to speak during it's reveal and then in the book he goes on to deliver a brilliant speech, standing tall and proud about his people but wants Gondor to take possession of it for protection or use it as a weapon. Sean Bean did a excellent job as Boromir.

Boromir❤

Give me the ring, Boromir asked calmly.

Boromir deserved better.

The anguish in Boromir's voice when he yells that he's sorry. Poor guy.

Can anyone else hear Saurons voice when he says “give me the ring” at 2:10?

When I was I kid, I HATED Boramir. Now, I understood him

Love music in this scene“One Ring „ theme !

“Frodo! I’m sorry!” 😢😔

Anyone heard the 'Gollum' sound at 2:35?

The physical sets and props--incluing the "bigatures" that were actually built and filmed--are a huge part of the reason this trilogy holds up as well as it does. There's not as much CGI use as you might think in this trilogy, which is why it still looks good.

I like to think that upon arriving in the Halls of Mandos or wherever it is Men go upon death that the Valar Nienna intervened on Boromir's behalf and showed him pity. In his desperation he was willing to do anything to save Gondor. The road to hell they say is paved with good intentions kind of thing. The Ring did not prey upon any evil in Boromir for I don't believe there was any. It played upon his desperation and desire to help. Boromir was a good and gentle man who cared deeply for the Hobbits and his sense of honor bound him to the Fellowship. He was after all the nephew of Prince Imrahil who was Dúnedain and had lineage back to the Elves. Yes, I do indeed hope that Boromir was given mercy and pity.

Boromir wasn’t wrong when he said he said Frodo would betray them in the end. It’s only because of Frodo sparing and cursing Gollum that the ring was ultimately destroyed.

I've rewatched the entire series 10 times through and that's only since the end of February and march isn't even half over.

Yes but it shows how strong aragorn is that he resisted the influence of the one ring despite being offered it.

My grandparents use to life in the countryside, with a river flowing throw the garden and woods and stuff across the other side. I read so much of the book outside in little hidden away places imagining it was so many of the different places in the films. This one in particular.

Everybody here offers Boromir the forgiveness he deserved for falling to the Ring, and yet still so many do not offer Frodo the same forgiveness, and he’s the one who carried it for 6 straight months around his neck all the way into Mordor itself BEFORE he fell to its power … whereas Boromir fell after only being around it on the road for 1 month, and in the book he never even touched it.

In the book, this scene is quite a bit longer with more dialogue. You can see Boromir slowly transform from a well-meaning warrior who just wants to protect his people into something almost like the Serpent in the Garden of Eden. He continues trying to reason with Frodo and answers every objection Frodo gives, but Frodo still won't go with him or give him the Ring. Then Boromir changes completely and goes into the classic, "It really should be mine anyway, you just got lucky to have it, it really belongs to me" sort of thing. This is when Frodo finally puts it on and disappears, then Boromir falls down and finally comes back to his senses. What's even more tragic though is that in the book, Boromir returns to the company and Aragorn immediately asks if he's seen Frodo. Boromir says, "Yes and no," and goes on to say that he and Frodo were talking and then he got angry with Frodo and he disappeared. Aragorn looks at him sternly and says, "Is that all you have to say?" And Boromir says, "Yes. I will say no more yet." And Boromir sits down and puts his head in his hands in grief. Aragorn tries to get the Fellowship to organize a search, but everybody panics and starts running off. Legolas and Gimli run off together, Merry and Pippen run off together, Sam goes off alone, and finally Aragorn has to shake Boromir out of it and says, "Boromir! I do not know what part you have played in this mischief, but help now! Go after those two young hobbit, and guard them at the least, even if you cannot find Frodo." Aragorn tracks Frodo to Amon Hen but finds no trace of him there. That's when Aragorn hears the Horn of Gondor and runs to find Boromir near-death, pierced by many arrows, and sitting up against a big tree. At least 20 dead orcs are laying around him. Boromir confesses that he tried to take the Ring from Frodo and apologizes and said he has paid the price, also telling Aragorn that the two hobbits were bound but still alive. Aragorn encourages Boromir and tells him that he is a conqueror and that few men have ever gained such a victory over an enemy. Boromir pleads with Aragorn to go to Minis Tirith and save his people. Aragorn tries to ask Boromir which way the orcs took the hobbits, but Boromir dies. Legolas and Gimli arrive just as Boromir passes away. This is also when they first discover that someone is breeding a powerful, bigger version of orc (the Uruk-Hai) as many of the orc bodies are larger, almost man-like. They conclude that it must be Saruman as the orcs have an "S elf-rune" emblazoned on them. Gimli at first thinks it is "S for Sauron" but Aragorn and Legolas know that Sauron doesn't use that name and doesn't use Elf runes either. This is one of the only times in the books where Aragorn shows any kind of wavering or uncertainty. He feels as though he has failed and the Fellowship is lost without Gandalf. He's not even certain whether to go search for Frodo or follow the trail of the orcs who took Merry and Pippen. It's a tough couple of chapters for Aragorn.

0:16 After all fights, Boromir's shield looks like brand new

*The whole ensuing debacle is a failure (learning experience) of Aragorn's leadership.* He is used to leading teams of Rangers, who are totally self-sufficient in their survival/tactical skills. He didn't enforce the buddy system (not a joke, they do this in the military for a reason). He let Frodo, the most important and vulnerable team member wander off. He let Boromir wander off, too, which is an impending danger to Frodo. Aragorn twice before witnessed Boromir almost grab the ring (Council of Elrond and on Caradhras). He should have known better. He should have delegated the task of unloading the canoes and kept Sam on Frodo-guard.

1:57 When another customer takes the last packet of toilet paper for themselves and they don't understand you've been wiping your ass with 600 grit sandpaper for weeks.

Sean Bean really showed his range as an actor, going through so many different emotions all at once as desperation overtook Boromir and shame overtook him as he realized he was wrong to try to take the ring from Frodo.

This scene is like Shakespeare.

"you will betray us - you will give the ring to Sauron" 2 movies later standing in Mt Doom "the ring is mine..."

Sean Bean, attore superlativo, eccezionale !!!!!!

I'm still shocked how I remembered Boromir from my first watch: antagonistic a*hole who just wants the ring. When I finally watched the extended version he became my favorite character because of how human he is Yes, I may have been young when i watched fellowship the first time, but i always had a soft spot for this type of character. I even if I wouln't have remembered the whole movie, i would have remembered his character-type! At least i found out why it was the way it was: i saw a pretty strange television cut, that just threw many scenes that showed his motivations and feelings. him and aragorn in lothlorien? gone. Him teaching the hobbits? gone. him trying to keep gimli from running back into the mines? you guessed it: gone. Seemed this version put some scenes from the extended version back in, but got rid of some of the theatrical cut .-.

nobody but frodo could've gotten the ring that far, the balance of small ambition to mental strength was just right in him, boromir was too ambitious and the ring could attack him easily, and sam would've been slightly too weak, nobody in middle earth was a better fit than frodo.

1:58 to 2:10 Of the four times Frodo used the Ring, I think this is the only one that made sense. I wish he'd used it (even briefly) in Balin's tomb in Moria.That was as good of a time as any, since there were so many Orcs and Goblins.

The thing you have to remember is the ring is what is causing this. Boromir was corrupted by the ring and his actions are being driven by its presence. He’s being driven literally mad by it and has no will to resist. Most don’t which is why the ring is so evil.

Awwwww he's so small
