Not the person you're asking but I think Master and Commander is great, and it's a very manly movie. These Navy soldiers sail into the unknown, because they love their country, and so they're willing to die at sea for it. I think when humans have a collective love for something (like their country), they can accomplish great feats.
I'm here, but I wasn't actually in the thread and I was on the front page. I also don't think there are any bots on Cinemaphile, and you shouldn't either. I mean, look at the reply times of the first and second reply to your post. The first was a whole 10 minutes and mine is 20 minutes after you posted. Why would a bot take that long to post? It wouldn't.
Anyway, there's my attempt at reassuring you that Cinemaphile is very stupid humans and not bots.
The ring would have made him evil. I'm surprised you don't know unless you haven't seen the movies. Everyone (even powerful people like Gandalf and Galadriel) refuses to touch it. Boromir held it for a moment and wanted to keep it.
Taking the ring would have been theft, which is an evil act, which means he was already corrupted. I'm guessing you don't believe in anything if you think stealing is fine.
boromir was just so pure, he knew that the ring belonged to its rightful owner
and he needed to be put down to maintain the status quo
indeed, that's what tolkien meant with that character
he was too pure a man to exist among such cruel fricks (the fellowship) and he would NEVER be twisted to evil's whims
truly, they should have entrusted the ring to boromir alone

The ring uses a person's wants and desires against them. Boromir above all else wanted to save it's people so the ring used that to corrupt him at a moment of weakness, which was redeemed later.
>So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides that of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring, in which case you were also meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought.
Basically in the Council of Elrond (which was not organized by anyone; everyone, Boromir, the Elves, the Dwarves and indeed the Hobbits just happened to go to Elrond at the same time to ask for counsel due to fate), they are saying that pretty much there's no alternative but the fool's hope. And everyone fell quiet when the time to choose a bearer came, because they realized that it was an impossible task. But when Bilbo (and later Frodo) volunteer, which is implied to be because of the ring's hold on them, Elrond realizes that it is fate that's driving this mission, and to fate he leaves it.
I rewatched it last night
I don't like how Arwen replaces Glorfindel, the scene is better in the book
I like the changes they make with Boromir's death scene
glorfindel isn't needed when gandalf serves both roles. I mean you can't have both an overpowered elf and a wizard, same reason why they omitted bombadil, he doesn't even confront sauron. It would have made sense to include him for a rescue mission like if frodo got kidnapped and held in a dungeon somewhere by the nazgul, he seems more like a character that belongs soley in the silmarillion or the second age, his powers are wasted in the third age.
>My first act as King... Will be to commit a war crime and make clear that envoys of any nature, including peace negotiators, will be slaughtered on sight
Castle doctrine. Lots of Mordor was actually lawful Gondorian land, like the Black Gates, Minas Morgul/Ithil or Cirith Ungol. He was just dealing with some murderous squatters.
>for Petey’s sake
Wait who’s Petey?
Petey Munchbag, the dwarf with the hammer don't you remember
Was he the one that killed Sauron?
No that was Gandalf's father, i'm talking about the dwarf that sleept betweeen Frodo and Sam
No that was Sourmans father Bane.

Fricking OP can't even meme right. What a loser.
>they were once men for frick's sake

Boromir is the heart of the Fellowship

>Character is boring
>Name is Boreomir
Bravo Hackson
Bad take anon.
Interesting, but I have to ask your opinions on master and commander
Not the person you're asking but I think Master and Commander is great, and it's a very manly movie.

good thing he died DISGRACED LIKE A LITTLE b***h then, aye?
zero redemption
aragon spat in his face right before the light left that betrayer's eyes
>Pity stayed Bilbo's hand.
Who is this Pity who has all this influence?
>BY NIGHTFALL THIS BOARD WILL BE CRAWLING WITH TROONS
>this scene starts
I sleep until the next movie comes on
Wrong you wake up right when they leave the elves place
>he sleeps through the Argonath scene
What a pleb.
proof a man of passion can derail an entire enterprise
>character merely wants to borrow the ring
>call him borrowmere
bravo GRRM
i kneel
pfff hehe
lel
who the frick was petey? pippin?
>He is the man who works for Sauron
>call him Sauronman

Osama Bing Chilling Joe Biden Wake up
I think we should start turning all Sean Bean threads into Sharpe threads. We need more Sharpe threads on this board.
We need MOAR Sharpe references.
>Obedia as Sauron
>General Wellington as Gandalf
>Patrick as Sam
we need to do better lads
WHERE IS THE MINES OF MOIRA POSTER!!!!
>gf cried when goose AND boromir died
is she the one, bros?
If you didn't get emotional when boromir died you don't have a soul. So yeah having a girl that actually appreciates manly sacrifice is a good thing.
a balrog of morgoth
what did you say
THEY'RE TAKING THE HOBBITS TO ISENGARD
Come nightfall this part of Gaza will be crawling with Jihadi's.
Gandalf's fireworks
why ddi frondo even want the ring anyway, surely boromir would have made better use of it?
The ring would have made him evil. I'm surprised you don't know unless you haven't seen the movies. Everyone (even powerful people like Gandalf and Galadriel) refuses to touch it. Boromir held it for a moment and wanted to keep it.
Boromir knew it was his duty to take the ring, he wasn't weak enough to get instantly corrupted by it.
>Boromir knew it was his duty to take the ring
Taking the ring would have been theft, which is an evil act, which means he was already corrupted. I'm guessing you don't believe in anything if you think stealing is fine.
Sauron is the original owner though, it was stolen from him, shouldn't it be given back to him?
boromir was just so pure, he knew that the ring belonged to its rightful owner
and he needed to be put down to maintain the status quo
indeed, that's what tolkien meant with that character

he was corrupted without even carrying it yet
He wasn't corrupted, he was just desperate enough to latch on to anything that would save his people.
if you don't think he was corrupted, you must not think much of his strength of character
This. His desire to protect his people clouded his judgment. He felt the weight of his responsibility to his people.
What?
The ring uses a person's wants and desires against them. Boromir above all else wanted to save it's people so the ring used that to corrupt him at a moment of weakness, which was redeemed later.

why didn't elrond go with them?
It was meant to be a stealthy mission which is why Glorfindel, who is even stronger and less burdened than Elrond, did not accompany them.
Test
if the ring was so strong how come golem kept it so long and so did bilbo baggins too? boromir was corrupted by aragons sword first and foremost
Why don't women understand LOTR?
bruh learn to take proper screenshots
My gf loves the films
She might love them, but she still doesn't understand them.
Perpetual infantility
why didnt gandalf teleport frodo into the magma
Why did the 10th Chinese member of the fellowship Pi Ti not appear in any of the scenes?
Boromir is the only character that shows any empathy to the Hobbits in the film.
This.
But also this

but frondo did get kidnapped and held in a dungeon, and il bombillido did rescue him, but they didn't have time to include all that
It was a good way to introduce Arwen and actually have her do something, and it's a nicely shot scene

>I would have followed you my brother. My captain. My king.
I'm a serial offender of making low quality shitposts in LotR threads but then I see this shit and I automatically tear up
Why did he do it bros
Yes, there is weakness. There is frailty. But there is courage also, and honor to be found in Men. But you will not see that.
>My first act as King... Will be to commit a war crime and make clear that envoys of any nature, including peace negotiators, will be slaughtered on sight
What did he mean by this?
He knows rohan will veto any resolution that condemns his war crimes. It's realpolitik
Castle doctrine. Lots of Mordor was actually lawful Gondorian land, like the Black Gates, Minas Morgul/Ithil or Cirith Ungol. He was just dealing with some murderous squatters.
*plops down in chair*
WE NEED TO FIND A BONFIRE TO SAVE AT, ARAGORN!
The ring uses Boromir's goodness to corrupt him.
so much deja vu is aligning today, i think i might finally die
wish me luck guys
Does me calling you a homosexual cause a deja vu for you too?
maybe?
i've certainly been there once or twice before, but it's pretty muddled
anyway, god bless
