Indeed. You get the sense that Boromir has been futilely defending Faramir to their dad all their lives. The books offer more explanations of Denethor’s dislike of Faramir; his mother died of illness shortly after he was born so Denethor blames her death on Faramir’s birth, and Faramir has also spent much time learning from Gandalf, whom Denethor distrusts and believe is plotting to overthrow him. Faramir is also more interested in books and music and simple things than being a warrior, which Denethor does not understand.

For Faramir, this moment was particularly gutting. Boromir was the only family he had that showed him any love, and this moment the last he would ever see of him, leaving Faramir to suffer the abuses of the Steward alone, with the lone show of love he'd ever see from his father being the last as his father's attempts to immolate the both of them, only ends with the Steward getting himself killed. But take heart my friends, for in the end, Faramir has a happy ending, marrying a good woman in Eowen of Rohan, and I gather, becoming a far greater father to his own children than his father ever was to him.

Scenes like these were absolutely integral to the movie’s story. Cut out, they removed so much needed exposition. Boromir was portrayed as antagonistic and duplicitous but these scenes show WHY he was so. With what we saw, Boromir was a sneaky and traitorous member of the Fellowship that only redeemed himself minutes before his death. We don’t see THIS Boromir: a man who protects and loves his little brother and who doesn’t want to challenge his domineering father. Like other commenters stated, as majestic and beautiful those scenery shots were, many of them could have been cut to a degree to add at least this short scene. It would have done much to show Boromir’s struggle and his humanity.

@pyktukasplays4945 2 жыл бұрын

Depends on how you see it for theatrical Boromir. He brings up the points on why he should be the one having the Ring and why it should be brought to Gondor (talks about that it is his people who keep the enemy at bay). Even while trying to take away Frodo's Ring for the last time he is only asking for the power to defend this people, so it isn't that much of a corrupted selfish goal. He was also shown to be quite compassionate and understanding, especially of grief. However I do agree that this expands on him more, especially the relationship between him and Faramir. However the movies do show Boromir's humanity in the theatrical versions. These scenes do more an expansion of his character and as such are much better left for the extended editions. The scenery shots are quite important for place establishment, they are part of what makes Middle Earth movies into Middle Earth movies. It can help with immersion.

Boromir was simply a great man who was easily corrupted by the power of the ring due to his main desire in life which is to protect Gondor and its people. He was never a sneaky or traitorous person, just the easiest victim in the fellowship due to him being a man. Once the ring stops its hold on him he is free to be himself again. Faramir was one of the few characters that the ring was not able to corrupt. Denethor chose the wrong son to carry out this mission. Though in Denethor's fairness he had already been compromised by using the Palantir.

@@britpackdog4545 Denethor, Faramir, and Boromir are some of the characters who take the most damage from the book to film adaptation tbh. Denethor goes from a noble, valiant, and near ideal warrior steward whose constant battles with Sauron through the palantir eventually warp his mind and drive him into depression and madness to a power hungry idiot who hates one of his kids. Faramir goes from almost a king among men to fairly normal guy with a cooler big brother. Boromir mostly suffers from a loss of context. He still remains a warrior concerned for the fate of his kingdom but unlike in the books where he has an actual plan, i.e. destroy the ring to defeat Sauron and restore the kingdom via Aragorn, he instead just wants to take the ring and somehow use it to defeat Sauron. Boromir becomes the better sibling whereas in the books he's very much a lesser to Faramir. He is stronger than Faramir in terms of brawn and a better warrior but it's really Faramir and Denethor who together have held off Mordor's advances. Boromir is mostly just a great fighter and a good captain.

Boromir is my favorite LOTR character and this scene really humanizes him. Some people who just saw the theatrical releases think he’s just a selfish ass who wanted the ring for himself when in reality he was just trying to protect his people and follow his fathers orders. He’s actually incredibly unselfish, he defends his brother in front of his father and his dying words were wanting to know if Merry and Pippin were safe while telling Aragorn he’s his king. I’m so glad Aragorn gave him words of peace before he passed because he was truly misunderstood and was the heart and soul of the Fellowship.

Indeed. The crucial details of their relationship are in this scene. What makes it special is Faramir had every reason to resent Boromir, but never did. He adored Boromir more than anything and looked up to him and idolized him, and it went both ways. Boromir always knew Faramir was special in his own way and never shared their father’s contempt for Faramir. He took it upon himself to be Faramir’s protector all their lives. His death meant the loss of the only person who ever made Faramir feel safe.

The bit that's easy to forget with Boromir is that he, like many others, are initially tempted to the ring out of a desire to do good. Very few people in the story genuinely understanding how supernaturally tempting the ring is, and that with enough time it will conquer absolutely anyone. I think in the books Gandalf says that even Sauron himself would've been incapable of bringing hurt to the ring (not of course that it would ever have been in his interest to do so, just as a hypothetical to demonstrate how overwhelming the allure of the ring is).

Especially not wanting to say his name or "Dad" like how Faramir says "he's here" instead of "Father" I just feel uncomfortable referring to him as my father.

This scene adds so much to Boromir's death. He left a place where he was hailed as a hero, but perhaps also the lone hope of a country trapped in the shadow of Mordor. And if that evil is unleashed in full, Gondor will receive its wrath first. The weight of the burden he carries is tremendous from that alone. Add to that a doting father of whom he is both wary and weary, and a brother whom he loves and has to leave with that same father. From all of that he comes to Rivendell, a stranger, and from a country that represents man more than any other. And remember, "Men are weak." They allowed the Enemy to live on through that weakness. Nobody trusts them, therefore nobody trusts Boromir. And as it turns out, he is weak indeed. The Ring plays upon his despair. Tempts him to bring the quest to ruin in its earliest days. And perhaps the one person in whom he might find hope, Aragorn, spurns him and Gondor entirely. And then his weakness causes his greatest failure, as he tries to take the Ring for himself. But then he sees his error in his moment of greatest failure, and rather than succumbing to that failure, he rises and defends the Fellowship, defends the friends of the one he tried to harm, and friends of his own whom he had grown close to during the journey. He takes three arrows for these friends, and then, as he lay dying, Aragorn honors him and gives him hope that perhaps Gondor might be saved after all. And whether Boromir realized it or not before he died, Aragorn's resolve to become that man, to become the King of Gondor, starts with honoring a man who showed the weakness he feared, and yet overcame it in the end. Boromir is, in a sense, a repentant version of Isildor. And in that, Boromir dies not in dishonor, but as the hero we saw in Faramir's memories.

While I love this scene and how it expands on both Boromir and Faramir, I do really dislike how they portray Denethor II as this petty, lowly and despicable man, as opposed to how he is in the books: a noble and intelligent man, ruling a Kingdom of men with expertise, who only became more bitter from the death of his wife, Sauron's looming threat, the hopelessness of any struggle, his usage of Gondor's Palantir to predict Sauron's movements (and he is noble and strong enough to resist corruption from the Palantir), Boromir's death and the loss of Osgiliath, the capital of Gondor. He only fell to madness after a very long siege (in which he organised the defenses of Minas Tirith expertly, ordered the Warning Beacons to be lit and sent the women, children and elderly to safety long before the siege) and the apparently mortal wounds Faramir sustained. He did not hate Faramir, either, only became angry at him for letting Frodo (and the Ring) go, and the loss of Boromir. Denethor II, like Boromir, represents how even great men can fail, Boromir from temptation, Denethor from despair, in contrast to the pure evil of Sauron and the search for power of Saruman. While the movie portrayal did Boromir (my favourite character) justice, Denethor's portrayal was worse than it could have been.

That's a great comment, I guess they didn't have enough time to fit the whole story of both Denethor and Farmir but I would have loved to see it. Also boromir and sam are my favorite characters

Gandalf is scathing of Denethor in the book. He points out as he reaches the outer wall of the pelennor fields that thet should have been reinforced long ago.

Denethor didn't resist corruption via the Palantir. What predictions of Sauron's movements Denethor thought he was achieving through it were only Sauron's own manipulations of Denethor. Denethor also made Gandalf unwelcome in Gondor from day one of his stewardship. How noble and intelligent can a man really be if he can't see the nobility and wisdom present in Gandalf?

@@CognizantCheddar There is not much difference between the denethor of books and movies, the main difference is in decision making.

I always loved this scene because it really gave context to Boromir and his actions in the first movie, as well as showing the loving relationship between the brothers.

The casting of this entire trilogy was gods damn impeccable. Boromir and Faramir look and act like true brothers, but they are also both the spitting image of their father.

I love this scene! It first shows despite how different Faramir and Boromir were, they did love each other as brothers. Secondly, how Denethor favored Boromir. Thirdly, the obligation that Denethor place on Boromir's shoulders.

All people from the cast here do an exceptional job, but John Noble is simply impeccable. What a majestic actor.

Ok, it has been said a lot how good these scene is already. But what a casting! They look like they are related! The film brothers have the same hair color, eye color, similar height and those noses. And their father also isn't looking like his wife visited a neighbour! that is just great🥰

I wish this scene was in the movie. It shows the pride and brotherhood Boromir and Faramir had, but ultimately showed that Faramir grew much more due to the standing he was placed in. Powerful stuff we never got to see until the extended

By watching these scenes later, you are wrought with the depth and the agony of Aragorn's final words. Upon Boromir's departure "Be at peace, son of Gondor." Boromir was sentenced to restlessness, he was a weary yet valiant soul as men are. In life he struggled to do his best, to protect his people to do what he believed was right. Yet in the end he realizes that he was a failure, he did not see, he tried to take the ring from Frodo. He realizes his own weakness, and so seeks redemption at the cost of his life. It is a perfect analogy for men Damned if you do, damned if you don't, for some of us the choices do not matter. Our fates are sealed, and there is only one rest for us, one peace. Death I yearn for the day inwhich I can lay and choke on this foul world's air as I struggle for existence. Gasping my last, dying for a purpose I pray in the name of my Master. To look up at someone, someone who was truly chosen, like Aragorn was. Truly chosen and meant for more in this life, and I can say. 'I would have followed you my brother, I would have gone two miles... if you had asked me to go one. And I would give you my coat if you asked for my cloak as well...' Then finally these dastardly lights can leave my eyes and I will be drained away like my blood from the struggles of the mortal world. I pray someone looks over me and says, 'Be at peace, son of the gentiles..."
