ok, i knew i shouldn't have read this topic - i'm already teary-eyed thinking about the part of the movie.<P>to be honest, in all the times that i had read the books(>25) i never felt anything positive about Boromir. in fact, when aragorn sends his body down the river in a boat, i thought he was being generous in the kind things he said.<P>but, sean bean and PJ did an incredible job of bringing this character to life - making him a conflicted human, as we all are, who makes wrong choices from perceived right goals, and then has the grace to admit his mistake and seek forgiveness.<P>btw, i am a wholehearted sean bean fan and i was prepared to see him play boromir as a thoroughly nasty bad guy. but he brought such depth of character to the part that i was overwhelmed at his ability!
