Thank you for the screencaps!

It's one of the great scenes of the film, I think. Frodo id at his best: strong, determinate but compassionate and so beautiful!.

And I'm eternally grateful towards Sean Bean. For years I hated Boromir. But after seeing LotR for the first time, I began to understand him. Tolkien says he's a good Man, but I didn't believe him. Sean Bean made me Boromir's goodness believable.

It was the first thing I told my Mom after seeing LotR: she was very curious to hear my feelings about the film, because she loved the book for thirty years and was afraid to see the adaptation. I said:

'You know, I think I understand Boromir...'
'And Frodo?' she said, anxiously.
'Oh! my God...' I answered.

Well, I become nostalgic. I'll stop here!:)

Yes, I think Sean Bean did more than any other performer to elevate the worth of his character of film, vis-a-vis the books. What other characters lost, he definitely gained. When I read the book now, I always see Bean in the role. What a [positive] difference it has made to my reading of the story.
