Re

I never got too emotional during this scene when I was a kid but the older I get the more it makes me sad. I think it's because it's sad on multiple levels; it's not just a friend dying, he also thinks he failed so it's tragic for him, but then he realizes he redeemed himself.
And he feels better knowing Aragorn knows that.
Then it's sad again knowing the wasted potential when he says, "I would have followed you." He would have made a great Steward under King Elessar.
But overall I guess it's bittersweet. He died but he died a hero, and that's all he wanted.

>yaaaaas
Fuck off back to Twitter you faggot

>yaaaas

Its sad knowing that these movies will never be topped. Especially fotr

some people are also very stupid

I'm hiding from the porn and gore spammer in this thread

Boromir comes off as a prick in first viewing to almost everybody. You learn to love him on repeated viewings when you get the nuances of his character and know his backstory from the two later films.

I'm amazed Jackson, the man who did The Hobbit, was capable of such subtleties.

i just realised the hobbit trilogy was double the budget of lotr and some.what went wrong.

This is are bag end

same

...

It is also the moment Aragorn realise his destiny and he no longer runs away from it.
So Boromirs death is sad but it also gives Aragorn the push into accepting his fate as a king.

Us on the right

nice

I'm kind of miffed that the scenes with him and Faramir in Osgiliath were cut, it seemed like a crucial little bit of character development that was plucked out for no reason, and would've made both of their temptations by the Ring more impactful I think, because they demonstrate how far a noble and likable captain to his men could fall.

>Aragorn realise his destiny

Aragorn pretty much understood his destiny for a long time before the lotr even started.
But he tought he would fall to the ring's power like the ones before him.

Especially considering Faramir is never tempted by the ring in the book and that scene would make more sense of why he is tempted in the movie.

Need more time for epic battle scenes like Legolas killing a fucking Oliphant and shiieeet.
Faramir being tempted in the movies is one of the few changes that I wholeheartedly support. The story was just better this way.

There are several moments in the movie where Aragorn is shown trying to escape from being a king.

Boromirs death is him accepting what he must become.

Was he autistic

ITT: NERDS

This. Boromir basically let Aragorn know that he should become the king with the line ".. My captain.. my king"

WHERE ARE THE PEOPLE OF COLOR

WHERE ARE THE WOMEN

FUCK THIS RACIST SEXIST TRANSPHOBIC TRASH.

I disagree. It's an ok change but Jackson, Boyens and Walsh misses the point of the characters that are not tempted by the ring in the book.

They thought it would be confusing if so many characters are not tempted by it and that it would confuse viewers.

>PPPBBBBFFFFFTTTTT!!!!

Funnily enough there are lots of strong and well written women characters in the lord of the rings.As for the colour thing it's English and European mythology

>not being a nerd

>funnily

It's why the scene is not only sad but touching. Boromir dies knowing he is pardoned for his cowardice by his king. He can go to the afterlife with pride.

That is incredibly unnecessary for any medium. No one cares to go into that much depth unless they were an autist

>You will never fuck your great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great aunt

T-this...very sad.

Isn't it great^62 cousin?

When I watched it as a kid, I did cry to this and gandalf

Yeah but the lord of the rings wouldnt have been written the same if not for the work Tolkien put into the world as a whole.Naturally people find it interesting

member when diversity quotas didnt exist and you were legally allowed to make a movie without at least 33% blacks 33% jews 33% women and 1% white men

some people use racist loopholes like having half black half jew women to make more room for white men but they are getting better at closing the loop holes

Ill take your word for it lol

The lore is too deep senpai

Get out of hereeeeeeeeee you tumblrrite/reddit shoooooooooooo

the books were never the end goal

well, if your goal was to write 3 books with a large universe, this becomes superficial. But tolkien was out to write some sort of epic saga, the lord of the rings was only one story among many in this saga. Ha was a english professor and had a hard on for these sort of things.

Nerd question

What line does faramir and boromir decened from and why were there family in line as stewards?

Truly the inferior sex.

dunno lol

I refuse to believe that beta descended from THE MOST alpha man in middle earth history. No. Not having it

its called WORLDBUILDING you don't have to care about it. not everything is made for you to enjoy.

What's your
Best cast?

Worst case?

Favorite scene?

Favourite music?

Middle earthfu?

Didn't Eowyn marry Aragorn in the books?

>Middle earthfu?
Eowyn

for a second I thought that was Rick kissing Daryl from The Walking Dead.

No.

The whole Arwen has to leave middle earth bit is not in the books either.

>watching the walking pleb

Huh? I thought it was supposed to signify the uniting of the kingdoms of men that they got married?

Faramir and Eowyn get married, so sort of.

>misses the point of the characters that are not tempted by the ring

What is that point exactly?

:^)

Fucking shit, I think I'm going crazy. Or I'm making up stories of what people have told me in the past in my head...

I could have sworn someone told me they were mad that the movies changed a bunch of shit from the books, one being that Aargorn was supposed to marry Eowyn for the aforementioned reasons and the Faramir thing was just shoehorned in so people could have their happy ending moment with Aragorn and Arwen, which was pushed a lot more in the movies than the books.

What the fuck.

Thanks OP. Wasn't sure what I wanted to watch tonight.
But the first film is perfect for such a cold, rainy night.

Was there any definitive answer on why the Hobbit trilogy is such unwatchable garbage?

Just research it. There's a wiki that breaks down every nuance and syntactical meaning Tolkein put into creating the languages. I'm sure it has a pretty detailed family tree as well.

Of course. Peter Jackson is a faggot that wanted to capitalize and make as much money as possible on a single book story by expanding it in to 3 movies to fulfill his ego of recreating the LOTR success.

I think the two biggest factors are
1.hackson couldn't be bothered getting down and dirty again and putting the work in.same as George lucas
2.should never have been a trilogy

Do you know the meme about Sauron being completely evil and not having any motivation for being evil that some people post?

Well its the opposite of that.
In the book, Sam delivers a line about Faramir that properly describes his character.

> 'Ah well, sir,' said Sam, 'you said my master had an elvish air; and that was good and true. But I can say this: you have an air too, sir, that reminds me of, of--well, Gandalf, of wizards.'

Earlier Elrond comments how men have failed and Faramir is the proof that this is not the case. As he replies to Sam

> 'Maybe,' said Faramir. 'Maybe you discern from far away the air of Númenor. Good night!'"

No joke guys, this is the only scene in any movie that makes me cry. I mean bawl like a child. The long, drawn out final stand of Boromir, the way he gets back up after taking two black arrows to the gut, all the emotions running through the scene-failure, redemption, regret, honour, brotherhood, regal devotion. It just gets me every time.

The biggest reason is the studio already spent a couple years of preproduction with Guillermo Del Taco, he ended up leaving and Peter Jackson came in. But instead of picking up where Del Taco left off, Jackson wanted to do it his way but on basically the same time table.

Thats how I feel browsing the catalogue

Huh, interesting. Thanks brah

Why is Saurons evil then?

Melkor touched him as a child

youtube.com/watch?v=NyeTaXv6o4Y

I don't get it what does that have to do with sauron

Here is another piece

As a kid I thought the same thing, and his heroic death confused me, in my eyes he had redeemed himself a bit like that, but he had acted like an ass for the rest of the film, and wanted to steal the ring so kid-me didn't get it.
Now I realize how dumb I was, Boromir was best boy. He just wanted to protect his people, and the ring managed to get a hold of him, briefly, but he managed to snap out of it after Frodo fled.
He truly did nothing wrong, not even memeing.

Faramir and Boromir were the heirs to the Stewardship of Gondor. The Stewards are descended from Hùrin (not the hurin you think of). Basically they are a high noble family of Gondor. Hùrin was chosen by king Minardil to be a steward, and that title was passed through generations, down to Denethor.

Not sure about this, but I think Aragorn preserves the title of Steward once he is crowned, and hands it to Faramir. Howerver, I also remember Faramir becoming the lord of some other gondorian city... gotta reread RotK appendices.

Hollywood is some what to blame ,for how they've characterised and dumb downed bad guys.

Jackson is one of the best directors ever, if the Jewish overlords give him enough time and money.

There's two hurins.god damn it Tolkien..

This is one of the most truthful and up front answers I've seen on Sup Forums in a long time.

There many occurences of people with the same names throughout the ages, especially in Gondor's history.

Gondorians seems to like the old stories and decide to name their children after heroes of the First Age.

One example, Faramir and Eowyn had a son, and that child had a son of his own called Barahir. Barahir was the human who saved the life of Finrod in battle, Galadriel's older brother and Lord of Nargothrond at the time. Finrod gave him the ring with 2 snakes, and it was then called Ring of Barahir. It became an heirloom of the House of Beor and was passed down to Aragorn over the millenias.

Goddamn, the books THEMSELVES are "unnecessary" it's goddamn entertainment, the man just wanted to build an entire world through which he could tell fantastical stories, of course it's fucking unnecessary. What the fuck are you even saying? "putting effort in things that aren't necessary makes you autistic"?

Stewards were a title before the last king of gondor before aragorn so it's not that weird that he preserved the title.

The title wasn't hereditary at first.
