SCOD 39: The lighter side of Boromir
|
Can't Post
|
|
Welcome to the first of this week’s SC’sOD!
Here we see a different side of Boromir’s personality and character. The following questions overlap quite a bit, so feel free to answer them however works best for you.
How do you feel (did you feel watching the film) witnessing the lighter side of Boromir? Is it jarring after the previous scenes where he is so seemingly intense, brash, and arrogant…? Does this depiction make him seem more well-rounded or does it seem to conflict too much with what we’ve seen so far?
If you read the book first, does this side of Boromir’s personality fit in with the image you had of him? If not, is the difference good or bad?
Are we as viewers meant to believe he is sincere in his friendship with the Hobbits; is he sincere???
Now the requisite scale question: It would be difficult to do this scene with the actors, but the scale doubles look a bit obvious, at least to me. Do you think this scene was handled well (scale wise) or do you think it was distracting?
As always, any other thoughts are welcome!
