tpg Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 OK, this has been bothering me... I just watched FOTR today and am probably gonna watch Two Towers here in a while, but ok... In FOTR, Boromir dies... he gets shot 3 times with arrows by Orc... correct? And they set him afloat in a canoe with his sword and he goes over the waterfall. Correct? I keep asking if I am correct because I may have the wrong person... OK... So if he dies... how the heck does he come back in the 2nd and 3rd movies? Hopefully someone can enlighten me here...

I actually didn't like FOTR that much, I thought it was kind of slow. I really like TTT but I think the third part is the best. It's kind of funny because usually I find myself liking 2nd and 3rd parts less and less. Umm...he died and he doesn't come back. Where did you get that he comes back?

fabulousfrankie Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 Maybe you're confusing him with Aragon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m00n Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 Boromir does not come back. He has a brother Faramir or something like that though who you meet in the 2 and is also in 3. There is also a third brother, can't remember his name right off the to of my head though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GooseChaser Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 In TTT, there a scene where Faramir remembers finding Boromir dead in a canoe, but Boromir goes over the waterfall in FoTR, so...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpg Posted December 26, 2003 Author Share Posted December 26, 2003 Ok... I don't know... I thought I remembered seeing him in the 2nd... and his name is listed in the credits of 2+3... I was mistaken. sry heh I am watching TTT now... my mistake all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckears Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 OK, here's the deal with Boromir: Yes, the boat in which his body was laid goes over the Falls of Rauros... this is an Elven boat (magical properties and all that), and it stays afloat, his body intact. Faramir sees it pass by (the Anduin river passes by Ithilien, the forest where Captain Faramir and his contigency of the Gondorian Army are stationed). We see this scene in a flashback in The Two Towers Extended Edition, along with a flash-farther-back to a scene in Osgiliath from before the time Boromir goes to Rivendell to take Council with Elrond and the others. In this flashback scene in Osgiliath, Boromir addresses the troops that he had just led in reclaiming the city back from Sauron's forces. This scene sets up some of the dynamic between the two brothers (and mOOn, there are only two, not three), and their father, Denethor (the Steward of Gondor). Boromir is again mentioned in The Return of the King, when Gandalf and Pippin first meet with Denethor. There is a very quick flash of Boromir as Pippin is recalling his death to Denethor. This is why Sean Bean receives a credit in Return of the King. Whew. BTW, I saw ROTK for a second time today, and cried more than I did the first time. This film has sky-rocketed to a place near, if not at, the front of my list of all-time favorites. I hope it makes Titanic kneel before it in shame at the box-office; but it probably won't (it won't have the legion of swooning female fans dragging their dates and friends to see it nine times; also not enough foul language or screwing to attract enough modern leeches who love that stuff).

DMF Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 There is no third brother. Sean Bean (Boromir) may have credits in the other movies, but in the case of TTT he doesn't show up in the theatrical release. You see him and Faramir and their father Denethor in a flashback in the Extended DVD of TTT, which goes a long way to explaining Faramir's actions.

But titanic was justa ****ing beast at the box office. For petes sake, it was number 1 for 13-14 straight weeks and ranked in nearly 2 billion dollars worldwide and won like what was it 9 Grammy awards...wtf...thats insane!!!!

tpg Posted December 27, 2003 Author Share Posted December 27, 2003 And I don't even like Titanic... I think they coulda sank the darned boat in less than half an hour, but no... it had to take what... 1.5 hours? gah I just about went insane... Anyway... I hadn't seen Two Towers in a year until today... and Boromir doesn't show up as you all said. Oops... heh Sry Awesome movie though... I gotta replay both LOTR for my gf (when she gets back ) before we go to see the third at the theater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckears Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 tpg, That's the Two Towers Extended Edition (4-disc set) that Boromir shows up in. dmf, Is that succinct enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InnovaZero Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 I just got the extended edition for Christmas, it certain helps fill out the story better, and makes the Two Towers even mroe enjoyable to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
