Yes! Thank you HC! I'm happy to read positive thoughts about one of my favorite movie scenes. I always wonder why Boromir appears so "hasty" after cutting his finger. It seems as if he is embarrassed that Aragorn saw it happen. In that extended edition scene, I am always touched by the "tenderness" in Boromir's voice ("Friend") when he first speaks to Aragorn. The actors are wonderful. Why doesn't Aragorn warm up more? What's he thinking here? Gosh, I love the bit of emphasis on the humans in this movie! The Council of Elrond was..er...pretty empty (awful ) but then scenes like this (IMO) are quite touching! <p>[ April 27, 2003: Message edited by: Liriodendron ]
