I saw this earlier, l thought it was worth posting about. I did like the guy, and sean bean played him well. Its a shame the actor always seems to die. Thoughts?
Boromir's an awesome character. He has a great redemption arc and illustrates how powerfully the ring tempts even the most noble people.
reply
Sean Bean’s representation of Bomomir followed the book fairly accurately, I thought. He must have read LOTR, at least the first book and liked it because of the way he presented as Bomomir.
I thought he did a really good job in Game of Thrones. It is a shame that he does not get many more leading roles.
reply
He always seems to die. There is a website dedicated to all his deaths on movies and tv shows. And one for keeping him alive.
reply
Yeah, because he is never the lead actor. He deserves to have some more of that action in his career. He does seem to be doing a lot of work, though. I am surprised that he didn’t show up in the Harry Potter movies, almost every English actor was in them.
reply
He probably didnt want to participate.
reply
Why would that have been? Many of the English actors that had long-term parts in those movies came out of it wealthy and well-known around the world. It was a great opportunity to expand their repertoires. They might even been having a lot of fun with the characters.
reply
There were probably other projects he wanted to do. Not everyone wants to be part of the wizarding world. I guess they can collect even more people for the Beasts movies now. Maybe he will show up there?
reply
Could be. They roped in the pre-Heard Jonny Depp into the new series before the divorce. Too bad he didn’t have a sh*t-ton of Bitcoin on hand for that episode. They changed him out for Mads Madson (who is also pretty good).
I thought he was a great character, too. I felt he was a bit darker in the movie than the book. I heard he had to climb up the mountain for hours because he was afraid to fly in the helicopter.

Well said

Works like the Lord of the Rings are wasted on so many people. There are many lessons to learn from the story.
reply
Yes, they are. I thought the hobbit series was okay, if it had followed the book a bit more closely, it would have been more awesome.

Yeah, agreed. And the S1 Rings of Power was terrible. Couldn't even bring myself to watch the new season.
reply
I didnt even bother to watch it. Peter Jackson is going to make another one, out of something.
reply
10000% agree. I absolutely love his character so much and he like most characters only ever try to do whatever they feel is best.
reply
Yeah, his character was very well done. He does a lot of good work, that Sean Bean.
