Im an American my home state is new york I was in new york when 9/11 happened I had no idea that russia had made this statue for us 😢 to the russian people im sorry that our government and media treat you so poorly I hope that one day our countries can be allies

The fact that he's only properly in the first movie is heart-breaking. Love his little scenes with Faramir and Denethor in the Two Towers. Didn't know "The Sons of Gondor" bonus scene existed until not long ago. Glad Boromir got a bit more screentime. ❤️

Shame of them, that we never heard of it.

good stuff. I think the song lyric you chose also alludes that the change you need on your shoulder is in your head. Your head. Change your perspective, change your life, change your world. It's all perspective, the choice we make to engage with life. Watching this movie was transcendent for me. I saw myself in Jesse, his 2nd favorite professor, and the male student he mentors; and have a little more hope for myself now. My exwife is 9 years my junior and we broke up what feels like yesterday still, I am still mourning... But I feel seen now, a bit more than before. And a little more resilient because of that.

Boromir belongs to the high level of Gondor's society. That says it all.

Tom Bombadil was able to handle the ring

Does she have a youtube channel

Has noone considered it's just fun killing bugs?

Yo, love your videos full of intellect questions and answers, but bro yo pls reupload the hospitaller was angel, pls some the questions for me are unanswered and need answers from your video 😊

Putin's name was covered on this monument.

Boromir was the real hero that Middle-Earth needed, along with Theoden and Eomer.

Greetings, all. Will's oldest brother here. I'd like to open up a discussion on this video: What is your favorite member of The Fellowship Of The Ring, and why? My favorite is Gandalf. I still play a very niche online game to this day that literally almost nobody knows about that both Will and I used to play when he was alive. It's called "The Kingdom Of Loathing." (Does anyone know or play this game!?! hahaha) It's a funny text and picture based game filled with jokes and pop culture references. In the game, since someone had already took the name, "Gandalf The White," I am known throughout the Kingdom as "Gandalf The Grey;" which is my character's name in the game. I love Gandalf because he is so old, so wise, and so peaceful; and yet, he can kick a lot of butt in battle! He acts as a wizard, a guide, and a friend to our heroes. I strive to be just like him when I'm a thousand years old. haha ...and...DISCUSS!

Greetings, all. Will's oldest brother here. I'd like to open up a discussion on this video: What is your favorite scene with Faramir, and why? Or, perhaps, do you have a favorite line of Faramir's? Mine is where Faramir releases Frodo and Sam. It shows the full and complete finish of the character's story arch, as Faramir goes from clinging to Frodo and Sam and wanting to use The Ring to gain him power and prestige, and letting The Ring and Frodo and Sam go. He was willing to let Frodo and Sam go, even if it meant that his life would be forfeit for it. I commented a similar comment on Will's "Boromir" video just now. I find it quite oddly funny that both Boromir and Faramir's characters go through an entire story arch of wanting The Ring, and then letting Frodo go. Despite their greed and lust for The Ring's power, they showed us that there was still good left in Men; a good worthy of inheriting a beautiful Middle Earth after Sauron's final defeat. ...and...DISCUSS!

Greetings, all. Will's oldest brother here. I'd like to open up a discussion on this video: What is your favorite scene with Boromir, and why? Or, perhaps, do you have a favorite line of Boromir's? Mine is where Boromir says, "I would have followed you my brother, my captain, my KING." I love that the "my King" were his last two words; as, when we first meet Boromir in Rivendell, Boromir says, "Gondor has no King. Gondor needs no King." These two lines show a full and complete finish of the character's story arch, as Boromir goes from denying his rightful King, to accepting him as his rightful King and heir to Minas Tirith and all of Gondor. ...and...DISCUSS!

Greetings, all. Will's oldest brother here. I would like to open up a discussion via this video; as I am the creator of this beloved tribute video, and the one who had to acquire all the footage from multiple sources to make it: What is your favorite clip from this tribute video, and why? Comment your favorite clip below, and I will tell you the story behind it; so as to better share all of the stories of Will's life with the world and his fans. Mine is the clip from 1:11-1:17, where Will walks into the light. Such an emotional ending clip. Thank you, ~Matthew-Harry

Greetings, all. Will's oldest brother here: I would like to open up a discussion on this video; as it is my favorite video that Will, the creator of "Video Insights" and this video, ever made: Which movie do you think is better and why: The original 1995 "Jumanji" movie, starring Robin Williams (my favorite actor) "Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle" (2017) ...and...DISCUSS!

This is a surprisingly deep and accurate analysis. Nicely done.

I think people also look down unfavorably on Boromir because they compare him to Aragorn, but it’s kind of unfair to do so. They don’t realize he is a mortal man, Aragorn isn’t. Not fully. He’s a Dunedain, they have exceptional strength. Mortal man is the most susceptible to the temptation of the ring, and he resisted despite a deep sense of duty and kept his honor. One of the biggest tragedies of the trilogy is we don’t get to see Boromir realize the glory of man restored once Sauron is defeated. No doubt he would’ve fought bravely at Helm’s Deep, and across Pelenor Fields

Boromir was scared that Frodo would be too easily robbed of the ring by dark forces.

Boromir's remorse after he assaulted Frodo make me want to cry every time

It's 5:30am on a Saturday, I woke up early to make myself breakfast and go back to sleep a bit more, meanwhile, I play this video to have some background company, I shouldn't be crying after just 5 minutes of it

*"One does not simply say the N-word."* -Boromir

Boromir is the best character of the trilogy, don't try to change my mind because you can't. Despite the fact that he only appears in the first movie (technically there are also the flashbacks and he's mentioned by other characters) and doesn't have that much screen time, his character goes through a very significant development and his death is very meaningful, it has a great impact on the story, the Fellowship and many other people all over Middle-earth. I love his character so much that I made him my profile picture, with sunglasses to make him even cooler. It's a real shame that so many people misunderstand Boromir the first time they watch the movies, it's even sadder how some don't really learn anything about him in the end, still thinking of him as a somewhat bad guy. He was a good man, maybe even the best.

Will Massengale was the creator of "Video Insights." He passed away almost three years ago. Today is his Golden Year Birthday. He would have been 28 today, on the 28th of December, 2023. Watch this tribute video, and his other videos, and remember him.

Haven't read the books, but my biggest criticism of fellowship the film is that i think Aragorn and Boromir should have at least ONE (1) moment of personal companionship with eachother before the death. They call eachother brothers and the scene is written and acted as if they were pretty close, i think convincingly, but it irks me that i never got that impression up until that moment. They have like one single exchange where Aragorn doesn't seem at best annoyed with Boromir. His promise to boromir is what kickstarts aragorns character arc, if more weight was put on that as a promise to a friend and not the country they have in common i think it would resonate so much more

How is he underrated ? Everybody loves Boromir with flaws and all because we recognized ourselves in him ! Boromir is one of the best loved character of every person I spoke of LOTR with, mine included ^^. He is a good man and a great character ! The Ring was just too powerful.

I loved Boromir in both the books and movies, he is a fascinating character well played by Sean Bean and a man I see as far more good than people give him credit for. I think the people who tend to be hard on Boromir tend to forget his background and where he comes from, who his father and brother is and what has happened in Gondor and what danger this kingdom is in. I find it strange people can be so hard on Boromir and give so many far far worse people in this world a pass as world, cinema, media, financial and educational leaders for I have no doubt Boromir would have done a far greater job leading this world than any leader we have in the world today. I am only sad we did not see more of Boromir, though I think both the books and movies did the right thing about how they had Boromir die. I do have a little bit of a gripe with Peter Jackson though about how super hero like he made Legolas compared to Boromir in fighting. I think that is a shame, as I did not at all get the impression from the books that Legolas or Gimli was that superior to him. I think Peter Jackson should have either toned down Legolas a bit, or given Boromir a more heroic death which show cased his fighting stills, and passion to redeem himself when he realized the mistake he had made.

Wow, i never knew about this till today

We see how vulnerable he was at the end of the scene when he asks Jaime, his brother who’s always protected him, what it was all about

his kingdom of heaven video was awesome...so sad YT removed it...

Boromir's role in the story isn't to demonstrate the weakness of man, but the strength of the Ring. He's the answer to the inevitable question "why not use the Ring against Sauron?" and proof that, no matter how selfless their motivation, anyone who craves power is an easy target for the Ring because power is the one thing the it will always be able to promise.

I still miss his content. May he rest in peace, but never forgotten.

It still amazes me how well the characters were cast. Sean Bean's acting gets Boromir's qualities just right.

One other thing. He trains Mary and Pippin with swords and has pretty wholesome protective relationship with them. He is also the one to attempt to console Gimli when they find Balin's grave in Moria. He's a great person unequivocally.

That was emotional to say the least. Thanks

My two favorite Tolkien characters. The most relatable. Faramir will ALWAYS be my idol. The movies couldn’t even do him justice. He is AMAZING in the books.

It relates to borimir and denethor but something that just makes these films so amazing is normally a movie adaptation is seen as a lesser or abridged version of the source material. The LOTR trilogy works almost as a companion piece to a point where if somone wanted to get into the series I would siggest watching the movies either before or while the read the books.

Remember when movies were good?

I would have followed you my brother, my captain, my king.

I love seeing these videos pop up in my feed takes me back to waiting for his uploads to come out.

Boromir's character is best summed up as "the best intentions invite the worst kind of problems".

Lando is not likeable. They didn't give the character any redeeming qualities. Well, they made him very sleazy, aside from the betrayal. I exaggerated to say they gave him "no" redeeming qualities, but they made him a total creep.

I come here from time to time...for this video mainly and the Angel Hospitaller one [sadly gone now:(]....this channel is one of the most underrated ones. Thank you for making these, keep up the good work.

Luke is the epitome of being a sigma.

The Kingdom of Heaven video was taken down again for copyright. It did reach one million views. Thanks for supporting the channel.

I wish they would have kept Faramir’s total aversion to the Ring from the books.

This is one of my favorite KZbin videos.

Depicting the Templars as brutal murderers was an injustice to them. Templars were no more brutal than Hospitallars or Muslims. Both sides were massively brutal to each other and that includes the muslims.

I feel like an alternative explanation for a lot of his lines and actions and the way in which they're delivered, other than being an angel, is that he's a man of absolute Faith who views it with absolute certainty and clarity, though it's clear there are some things he probably shouldn't know (could be that he's just very good at reading people?). I do very much like the angel theory, but I also like the possibility that he might be the only man there Balian encounters with true, unshakable faith.
