Thanks for your insights into the character of Boromir. Personally I didn't care for Tolkien's version of Boromir, but after seeing Jackson's version I like him a whole lot better. In fact he is one of my favorites now.

I appreciate you giving us your thoughts on him.

I'm glad you brought up the differences in the Jackson and Tolkien Boromir. I've been thinking about that too. I haven't read the Fellowship in many years, but I came upon these thoughts while reading the Return of the King again the other evening - specifically, where the men of Gondor react to 'the little ones'. I think it is more of Jackson's (and the others) great incorporation of other parts of the books into the whole works -- like the character of Boromir, in order to show up close and personal the dire conditions they have lived under for a long time. Masterful! I can't wait to see the finished product.
