The writers have been quoted as saying that they improved on the death scene of Boromir. I'm sorry that I don't actually have a source for that to report, but I have heard <B>and</B> believe it. Like I said, Boyens just kind of radiates that feeling when describing the evolution of <I>Gollum's Song</I> on the Two Towers extended edition.<P>I don't deny that there were some improvements over the book, but I think that the writers could often have shown a bit more humility and respect to the source material. Obviously there would have been no movie without it. They all (especially Peter Jackson) ended up knowing the books and appendices <B>extremely</B> well, but still managed to be able to cut out key passages, concepts and character traits. Unfortunate.
