Basically, heвЂ™s keeping the seat warm until the actual king (Aragorn, in this case) returns and is like an interim head coach if the вЂњinterimвЂќ tag never came off for hundreds of years. Denethor isnвЂ™t the King of Gondor: his actual rank is Steward. However, his celebration is undercut by the appearance of his father Denethor (John Noble) aka the ultimate middle manager. Alas, thatвЂ™s not going to happen partially due to BoromirвЂ™s father DenethorвЂ™s desire for power and a weapon to defend his country.Д«asically, BoromirвЂ™s whole motivation as a character in Fellowship of the Ring comes from a flashback scene in The Two Towers extended edition where he celebrates a great victory for Gondor, gives a short speech, and then breaks out the ale. Howard ShoreвЂ™s score soars during this scene, and for a second, it looks like we might get an Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) and Boromir team-up to save the day. However, you can definitely tell that Boromir cares deeply about his city as evidenced by his monologue to Aragorn in Lothlorien where he uses poetic language and describes Minas Tirith as the вЂњThe White Tower of Ecthelion, glimmering like a spike of pearl and silverвЂќ. BoromirвЂ™s constant mentions of Gondor and вЂњhis cityвЂќ could easily be substituted with вЂњthe projectвЂќ, вЂњthe numbersвЂќ, or insert office jargon here. So, I relate to BoromirвЂ™s struggles with balancing what his father Denethor (And, by extension, his home country, Gondor) want him to do, and what he personally wants to do with his life.

As IвЂ™ve gotten older, IвЂ™ve had to take on more responsibilities like a multi-faceted full time job, paying the bills, and relationships to name a few. However, IвЂ™ve started to connect with Boromir on a personal as well as intellectual level. TolkienвЂ™s fantasy epic as well as Jackson, Fran Walsh, and Philippa BoyensвЂ™ film adaptation, and how these works are in conversation with older myths, legends, and stories. He is a glowing example of the rich intertextuality of J.R.R. While studying texts like the Song of Roland, Beowulf, and DanteвЂ™s Inferno (Boromir is totally what medieval theologians would call вЂњa virtuous paganвЂќ.), I started to see Boromir as a more modern version of the tragic hero archetype, who is consumed by pride and greed, but ends up redeeming himself in the end through death. However, as IвЂ™ve gotten older, I started to connect with him as a flawed, tragic figure that ends up making a big sacrifice that sets up the hobbits, Merry (Dominic Monaghan) and Pippin (Billy Boyd), on their own heroвЂ™s journey. When I was younger, I thought he was the heel to AragornвЂ™s babyface and preferred his kinder, younger brother, Faramir (David Wenham), who is a wonderful character and may get an article of his own when the 20th anniversary of The Two Towers and The Return of the King rolls around. He joins the Fellowship of the Ring at Rivendell and is the only main cast member to die permanently. My relationship with a character that has changed the most is Boromir, who is played admirably by Sean Bean ( Game of Thrones, Goldeneye). Now, I understand the contrast between the idyllic, adorable life of the Hobbits with the darkness that pervades the rest of the film as Peter Jackson shifts the tone from light comedy to fantasy thriller, and how these scenes establish the intoxicating power of the Ring through its effects on Bilbo (Ian Holm), Gandalf (Ian McKellen), and Frodo. For example, when I was younger, I hated how вЂњslowвЂќ the scenes in The Shire were at the beginning of The Fellowship of the Ring, and would fast forward to when Frodo (Elijah Wood) and Sam (Sean Astin) began their journey.

One thing I love about going back and re-watching The Lord of the Rings films is seeing how my relationship with the characters and themes has evolved over the years. Along with Star Wars, The Chronicles of Narnia, and good olвЂ™ Redwall, it was my first fandom and is partially why IвЂ™m interested in genre fiction and, by extension, write for this website.

This was a glitch that not even the Prima strategy guide or could fix.ДЄs you can tell from this introductory paragraph, The Lord of the Rings has been a huge part of my life. There was also the Fellowship of the Ring video game for GameBoy Advance that had characters from the book, like Tom Bombadil, but would glitch out midway through the Mines of Moria.

Wow, I canвЂ™t believe itвЂ™s been 20 years since eight-year-old me read an 1,008 page fantasy novel called The Lord of the Rings(And The Hobbit too because itвЂ™s an actual childrenвЂ™s book.) just so I could be allowed to watch a fantasy movie called Fellowship of the Ring on VHS. PeopleвЂ™s History of the Marvel Universe.
