Boromir: He is much better portrayed in the movie than in the book. The book Boromir is a proud, almost arrogant man, proud of his lineage and his home. He thinks of his line, the Stewards, as true rulers, in place of an absentee king who'll never come back. But he is also hasty and above discretion. When the Company leaves Rivendell, Boromir decides to blow his horn for all the valley to hear, be it friend or foe. He also does some rather foolish things like throw rocks into the Moria water (which was done by the hobbits in the movie). PJ did a great job in extracting the human side of Boromir and downplaying his faults, making him more sympathetic. Both are not evil men, just made the wrong choices.
