Ian McKellen as Gandalf. He shaped the performance using a recording of Tolkien reading The Hobbit, copying the voice and the mannerisms. So you are not just watching him play Gandalf, you are hearing Tolkien come through the character.
Tolkien wrote that Boromir was, at his core, a noble man whose moment of weakness came not from evil in his heart but from the Ring’s corrupting power. His fall was brief; he realized his failure at once and died in redemption, defending Merry and Pippin with courage and honor. Tolkien explained that Boromir’s death was meant to show both the weakness of Men before power and their capacity for repentance and noble self sacrifice. Aragorn’s final moment with him hearing his confession and accepting his honor. Becomes the point where Aragorn truly steps into leadership. Boromir’s death pushes him to claim Gondor’s future and fulfill his destiny.
