Like what elrond said "men are weak, easily corrupted" 🦉

I mean, the fact that Boromir is even able to give the ring back to Frodo at all shows his inner strength. People like Isildur and Sméagol were ensnared immediately. I love that Boromir is mostly a strong, heroic and well-intentioned guy. It makes the Ring even more insidious. The Ring can turn any hero into villain.

The greater and mightier the individual, the more tempted they are. Nobody could resist the Ring if they were to hold it. Not Gandalf, not Galadriel, not Elrond, not Aragorn. Boromir could barely resist its power for a few moments. In the end, only the hobbits could contend with the Ring's power as they were neither great nor mighty.

In Isildur's defense, he didn't really understand that the Ring was a horcrux. He had just watched his father die, and wanted to keep it as a trophy of war. He was also in the place where the power of the Ring was at its strongest. Frodo went all the way there with the INTENTION of destroying it, but it was still too much for him. We really can't fault Isildur.

To be fair Isildur was on his way to rivendell to see elrond to ask how the fuck to get the ring away from him before he got ambushed by orcs. So I'd say all men have some type of inner strength. But good point!

+Adam Dean Shafi......so my theory has always been that the characters of boromir and faramir have a very interesting relation to Aragorn that often goes un-talked about. i think the 2 brothers are each supposed to represent 2 strong, but incomplete soldiers of Gondor. Boromir has exceptional fighting skills but lacks strong wisdom, thus more easily corrupted by the ring. Faramir is not the best fighter but he shows strong wisdom and inner-strength resisting the temptation of the ring. If you put together the best qualities of each brother (who alone are incomplete), you essentially end up with Aragorn, the perfect soldier/king of Gondor.

+Adam Dean Shafi One other thing they don't mention about Boromir is that he is under a lot of stress because his father, Denethor is starting to go crazy. We get a hint of that when he talks to Aragorn in Rivendell. He knows there's something wrong with his father and that the burden of defending Gondor will soon pass entirely to him. Another thing they didn't have time to explain is that Denethor has one of the palantirs and he has been using it to try to find out what Sauron is planning. They're not just Middle-Earth webcams, they also connect people mentally. Sauron isn't able to control Denethor directly, the way he did with Pippin, but he CAN use the palantir to show Denethor only what he wants him to see. All Denethor is allowed to see are the vast armies that Sauron has lined up against him and these sessions with the palantir eventually drive him to despair and madness.

No doubt Gandalf was internally screaming when Frodo decided that they'd go through the mines.

But I say: let a ploughman plough, but choose an otter for swimming and for running over grass and leaf, or over snow - an Elf.' With that he sprang forth nimbly, and then Frodo noticed as if for the first time, though he had long known it, that the Elf had no boots, but wore only light shoes, as he always did, and his feet made little imprints in the snow. 'Farewell! he said to Gandalf. 'I go to find the Sun!'" I just thought he sounded so cocky yet cute.

I do also think he was a man under immense pressure because apart from Aragorn and Gandalf, he’s the only one who’s experiencing first hand what Gondor is up against and how they’re losing far more often then they were winning

It's interesting how he tries to push the responsibility of making that call (and all that he knows wll follow) to Frodo, even though Frodo isn't in the position to make an informed decision, other than to make a naive call based on his friends' best suggestions. But Gandalf is unable to make the call that will doom everyone and probably himself if his fears become reality. But he doesn't speak a word about them (even though if he did Frodo would likely change his decision); he knows it's inevitable but still holds on to a false hope that it may not happen himself.

It's actually Gandalf who wanted to go through the mines (having himself traversed through while searching for Thrain's ring) and Aragorn who had doubts. Boromir straight up didn't want to go and wanted to get the party to take a different road by trying get Frodo's opinion, at which the latter said something to the effect of "I don't like the sounds of the mines, but I trust Gandalf's judgement".

It also shows how powerful the one ring is to mortal man, in the extended version, you can see Boromir is a great leader and have good soul, but easily corrupted by the ring. Although he regrets it very fast after the effect of the ring wears off when Frodo ran away from him

It is said that Saruman's greatest power was his voice. It is also implied in the book that Carahdras was borderline sentinet and malicious. Here I see it more of Saruman coaxing the mountain to wake up, almost like a summoning ritual while the mountain itself is distorting the weather.

Voices being the source of power in Middle Earth isn't unusual. The greatest of the Eldar, the Noldorin lords who fought in the first age, could work powerful magic with their voices in songs and chants. Sauron and Fingon fought each other in this way. Also, Gandalf used a Word of Power in the books to try and seal the Balrog in the burial chamber of Balin. Didn't work, but breaking it caved in that chamber forcing the Balrog to take the long way round. Shoot, the creation of Arda was originally founded in the Ainulindale: the Music of the Ainur, a song sung by the angelic Ainur before the creation of the world that told the story of what would become Ea, the universe Middle Earth takes place in. As for his envy, Gandalf was the "youngest" of the Istari and second greatest. However, he always received the greater respect from the Elves and was given Narya, one of the Three Rings, by Cirdan of the Grey Havens. This especially bothered Saruman who felt that as the chief Istari, he should have the greater power. It is implied he even looked into trying to fashion his own Ring of Power for some time before realizing the One could still be found. Basically, Saruman valued his place of prominence far too much and always feared he would lose it.

This was a moment in the movie (probably not the first, but definitely a major one) where I cringed at the stupid choices Peter Jackson made with the movie, having Saruman as the source of the snowstorm. Why would he want the fellowship to go through Moria???

@deci2723

Жыл бұрын

@@robo8155 It was mentioned that the weather wasn't natural, even though there is no Saruman perspective in fellowship. Forcing them to go through Moria gives Saruman time to send a task force, the very one that ambushes the fellowship when they're trying to chose which way to go at the end of the first book. Nobody had any idea that the Durins Bane was a Balrog, so the scene makes actually less sense becouse Saruman would never risk a Balrog getting the ring, and for some reason he knows its a Balrog in the movies.

This movie is 3 hours of perfection

That shot at 0:20. Amazing filmmaking. The perspective casts the ring as larger than everyone else in the shot, as if their efforts are futile in comparison to the will of the Ring (which contrasts beautifully with Boromir's upcoming line, "...over so small a thing."). This perspective also highlights the figurative "distance" between Boromir and Aragorn/Frodo in this moment of temptation. All of this is framed by the distant mountains. Say what you will about the Peter Jackson films, but this is stellar directing.

@vol94

Жыл бұрын

It's not the perspective, they made a large model of the ring, as large as a cake. You can see it in the behind the scenes.

Aragorn is aspirational but Boromir keeps it real. Best character in this first book

People talk shit about Legolas jumping up from falling stones and don't realize he's an elf, who can walk lightly on surfaces, as shown here where everyone is walking through the snow while Legolas walks on it.

This scene captures the beauty of New Zealand's Southern Alps.

Legolas just casually walking on the snow without breaking it

Saruman: "Cuiva nwalca Carnirasse; nai yarvaxea rasselya!" (Quenya for: Wake up cruel Redhorn! May your horn be bloodstained!) Gandalf: "Losto Caradhras, sedho, hodo, nuitho i 'ruith!" (Sindarin for: Sleep, Caradhras, be still, lie still, hold your wrath!)

The book's painting of these scenes (slightly different as they were) was incredibly powerful. Tolkien truly had an "emotionally, spiritually present" way of wordcrafting. But what PJ, NLC, the cast, the composer, and crew did was nothing short of celestial perfection in LIFTING the already anointed work from the pages and bringing it to LIFE. Legendary work. It will last 120+ years into the future, too. 🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨

I love how when Boromir rubs Frodo's head Frodo just reacts like "Guy, I'm not a child. I'm short because I'm a halfling. I'm LITERALLY TEN YEARS OLDER THAN YOU."

Don't forget Boromir was instructed by Denethor to bring the one ring back. He was incredibly strong willed but just as conflicted.

the close up of the ring was actually a giant version. the visual effects of these movies were amazing.

When Gandalf says “No!” to Aragorn over turning back, it terrified me. Gandalf honestly believed facing this snow storm and getting almost killed over it was better than putting your chances on winning over a Balrog. Gandalf is not a coward, he is just very cautious.

Boromir: flawed, tempted, corrupted, sacrificed and redeemed. I love this character, kudos to the writer, director and Sean Bean.

i still cant believe that they went to a remote mountain just to film this. This was where Sean Bean's fear of helicopter rides was cemented.

The quiet youth choir theme that plays while Boromir is holding the Ring is in Elvish, the words literally meaning to use the Ring is a valiant thing, granting victory and strength.

I like how they show Legolas being able to walk over the snow

Not a villain but just a man who wants to protect his people at all cost! You fought bravely - be at peace son of gondor

Happy 20th Year Anniversary 🎂 ! The Fellowship of The Ring Original Release: 12/19/2001

It is a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt over so small a thing.

Imagine whilst Gandalf stood there reminiscing and taking all that time, one of them threw a snowball at him. “Wake up! Which way we goin??”

Aragorn releasing his grip on his sword when Boromir hands over the ring is such a nice touch. It is a subtle yet powerful way to show the urgency of their quest, as well as showing the integrity of Aragorn's character. He is not quick to engage in violence but is not afraid to either.

Very subtle thing but I'm sure Christopher Lee had his line of "Where then will you go?" redubbed to sound more like an amused question instead of a condemnation. As if he's genuinely curious what his former friend will do. Nice touch.

Gandalf: "It's Sârumân". The way it was delivered

Boromir is my favourite LOTR character.

2:47 When you exgirlfriend is summoning all kind of destruction in your life

Aragorn is such a fucking badass, I love how it shows him gripping his sword afterwards as if to need to do some serious shit.

It’s interesting how Aragorn talks to bromoir in this scene. He will do what he needs to do in the end, if that means fighting boromir he would but you can tell in his voice he’s trying to keep him from being tempted

Boromir patting Frodo on the head, forgetting that Frodo is actually 10 years older than he is.
