[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Knight of Gondor, I'm not sure I agree that the book fails to show Boromir's heroism. There is a line, for example, which tells of the numerous slain Orcs around him.<P>But I could not agree more about Howard Shore's sublime music.<P>I think when comparing the film and the book, you have to take into account your own imagination. My imagination, for example, runs wild at some points in the book, yet not so much at others. Boromir's death scene was one of the best parts of the movie for me, perhaps because I didn't have a particularly strong vision of it from the book.<P>However, I wouldn't say either one was better, just very different in terms of emphasis.
