Human beings, as a very important race in Middle-earth, are able to gain a foothold in Middle-earth. It is by no means accidental. They do not have the dexterity and elegance of elves, nor the craftsmen of dwarves, nor are they like hobbits who are free and uncontested. On the contrary, suspicion, greed, and desire seem to have always enveloped the human race. If Isildur hadn't taken it as his own after facing the temptation of the Lord of the Rings thousands of years ago, there would have been no Sauron's subsequent comeback.
Aragorn and Boromir, the two Gondor human leaders in the film, one returns as a king, crowned king, and accepts pilgrimages from all over the world; the other leads an army to fend off the enemy, brave and fearless, and sacrifices violently before half of the journey of the ring team . At the coronation ceremony of Baicheng, the guardian team was all in the list, except for Boromir. He, who had been sacrificed a long time ago, has no one to care about, and it is inevitable that it is sentimental.
With the tragic color of Boromir, does his performance on the screen also fail the sympathy of the audience? From the beginning of the Rivendell meeting, to picking up the ring in the snow-capped mountains, and then chasing Frodo in the jungle, Boromir's heart seemed to never get rid of the desire to own the Lord of the Rings. But looking at his words and deeds in combination with Boromir's own identity, it is not difficult to find that he himself is also under tremendous pressure and responsibilities.
Located west of and bordering Mordor, the Kingdom of Gondor needs to confront Mordor's army of orcs head-on. Before leaving for the meeting, Boromir had just led the humans to win a hard fight. Although the attack of the orcs was repelled, the people of Gondor also paid a painful price. Seeing the Lord of the Rings on the table at the meeting, he first stood up and expressed his stance. He believed that the ring was a gift to the people of Middle-Earth and a weapon used to resist Mordor. The people of Gondor have been guarding them with blood. Middle-earth land blocked Mordor's line of defense. Boromir said these words with a clear conscience, and he did have the confidence to ask for the Lord of the Rings to save his people in dire straits.
When he learned that the ranger Aragorn sitting in the meeting was a descendant of Isildur, Boromir was shocked, but it didn't take long to recover his original look. The words "Gondor has no king. Gondor needs no king." proved his ability. , He has the confidence to lead the people of Gondor to repel the powerful enemy. How could this sloppy-clad vagrant in front of him be the descendant of Isildur that survived thousands of years later? He was busy with daily operations and had no time to take care of the affairs of the Mid-Earth and Western Regions. Upon learning that the Lord of the Rings must be brought to the Doomsday Volcano for destruction, Boromir described the difficulties leading to the Mordor Doomsday Volcano. He was very worried about the consequences of Sauron getting the ring. Bringing the Lord of the Rings into Mordor was like eating meat. Tiger. From the perspective of a normal person, this is completely reasonable. But in the end he obeyed everyone. Since this is the only option to victory, he can temporarily lay down the people of Gondor to protect Frodo and escort the entire team.
He is contradictory, and has always been like this during the trek of the Fellowship Team. On the one hand, he wants to protect the ring team and witness Frodo go to the Doomsday Volcano to complete the mission of the group; on the other hand, he wants to lead the people of Gondor to victory as soon as possible. It can be said that he is the one with the heaviest identity and responsibility in the entire ring team. The elves and dwarves can stay in peace with the world, and the hobbit can enjoy the paradise-like beauty in the Shire without being disturbed. Only he, the leader of the army of a kingdom, is at the forefront of the war all day long without backing down. room. On the way, Boromir also confided to Aragorn that Gondor was under the leadership of his father, and that the people were gradually losing their faith, and the concern for the country and the people was beyond words.
It is no wonder that he is the one with the strongest desire in the whole team, and the Lord of the Rings has grasped this point and constantly spies and tempts him. But when we look closely at Boromir's every move, it is not difficult to find that when he made his choice, the starting point of his position was Gondor and the people of Gondor, and he himself did not have much selfish desire for the Lord of the Rings. As the commander-in-chief of one party, he was too eager to rescue Gondor and led his people to victory, but he was used by the Lord of the Rings, causing some discord in the journey of the Ring Team.
His entanglement with Frodo in the jungle ended with Frodo wearing the Lord of the Rings and disappearing. Suddenly, he felt remorse, but there was nowhere to confide in his heart that he wanted to repent. What a real humanity! He crawled on the ground in despair, begging Frodo's forgiveness. The Lord of the Rings had already attacked him deeply, but he was powerless. When Pippin and Merry were chased and killed, they stood up and fell into ten with three arrows. When Aragorn arrived, the first thing he thought of was the safety of the hobbits. He blamed himself very much. When Aragorn was in his When he swore before him that he would not let our city fall nor our people fail, Boromir clearly beamed his eyes and repeated Our people on both sides. At this moment, he was very pleased that the people of Gondor could finally welcome them. king. It can be said that Boromir used his own sacrifice in exchange for the great emotional touch of Aragorn . Son of Gondor is undoubtedly the best compliment to Boromir, just like Deng Xiaoping said that he is the son of the Chinese people, with a heavy weight.
Aragorn must be deeply moved as he watched the boat carrying Boromir's body go down. In the film, his eyes were sad and firm. While paying tribute to the dead comrades in silence, he also confirmed his mission.
Many people say that Aragorn has almost no defects, and that he has noble blood of various races and is protected by gods. But in my opinion, he is accustomed to being a "lizi" and keeping his name incognito. When he really needs to be "face", he has to pay a lot.
In the Golden Forest, Boromir said the following to Aragorn:
Have you so little faith on your own people? Yes, there is weakness. There is frailty. But there is courage also, and honor to be found in Men. But you will not see that. You are afraid. All your life, you have hidden in the shadows, scared of who you are, and what you are.
Aragorn always struggled with his identity. He is a descendant of Isildur, but he is ashamed to tell others his true identity, because the ancestor left a curse after the battle, and the descendants of Isildur can only wander north as a ranger after the kingdom is destroyed. And Aragorn grew up in the realm of the elves, wandering around since childhood, working for Gondor and Rohan, but then he was uncertain about his whereabouts and was called a "strider". He has a very weak sense of belonging to his human beings, and has never been able to open this door of heart. Boromir's "accusation" undoubtedly hurt him.
When Boromir died, Aragorn finally realized that he had become the hope of mankind, and the responsibility and mission he shouldered even surpassed his ancestor Isildur. He needs to defeat his own inner demons and confront the enemy from the dark to the light.
Aragorn’s leadership gradually revealed during the journey of the Ring Team. After passing through Moria and losing Gandalf, he regrouped and encouraged his partners to move forward. When the Golden Forest was surrounded by elves, he also stood up and negotiated with the elves. Deep down in his heart, leadership has always been there, but at that time this talent was limited to leading a small team, and when he deeply felt the mission and responsibilities he shouldered, he could lead his own as the leader of a country. The people are heading for victory.
Boromir and Aragorn represent two different human elites. One is the world, leading the charge, sharing the joys and sorrows with the people; the other is trying to courage and practicing hard, gradually recognizing its mission and fighting for it. This is somewhat similar to the idea that “you are worried about the people if you live in the temple, and you are worried about the king if you live in the world”. The change of Aragorn's identity is closely tied to his mission. The continuation of a kingdom requires leaders. Stand up, that is, "face", and when the original "face" Boromir sacrifices, the "lizi" of Aragorn must be transformed into a "face" and continue to lead his people to fight the enemy head-on, especially the hero in Middle-earth The times are about courage and dignity, and about the future of a race.
By the way, the original translation of "Lord of the Rings 3" was The Return of the King, not the current Invincible King. Is Aragorn really invincible? No, I think Return is much more important than Invincible, and it can better reflect the charm of the Lord of the Rings. He is not really invincible, nor did he show the dominance like Sauron in the final attack on Mordor, but Aragorn has returned. He has completed his identification with his own identity and chose his own destiny. This It is the most valuable.
