Yes, I love the look on Gandalf's face when Boromir speaks up. "[sigh] He is talking again!" hehehe

But interestingly enough, I think this was an adept translation by Jackson of Tolkien's vision. Boromir does speak up too soon, too often, and with too much self-importance. Are you still without your books? - tell me if you want quotes, but I think Tolkien was definately telling us not to like Boromir very much from the start.

I know what you're referring to, and I agree. Jackson did have to show that Boromir is not to be trusted, and he did that well. It just seems like Boromir talks more in the movie because there's less other stuff going on.

You mean this look?

Hehehe...

I love all of that non-verbal stuff in the council in the movie too--everyone did a fabulous job of carrying on an unspoken conversation throughout the scene....
