Boromir's death - book or movie?
My question is, which version of his death did you prefer?<P>I ask this because it's one of the very rare example in which I think that the movie portrayed it better. When I read it in the book the actual death scene didn't get to me at all. A little lump in my throat may have appeared when Aragorn and Legolas sang a funeral song as they let his boat go, but nothing compared to how I felt in the movie. Sean Bean acted it so incredibly and I love that part of the script, especially 'my brother, my captain, my King.' For someone who never cries at movies, it made me bite my lip *very* hard.<P>So what do you think? Or are there any other parts of the script that you think were an improvement on the books?
