Какие бы минусы не имела экранизация ВК, для огромного количества людей по всему миру она стала окном в мир Средиземья. А те кому понравилась экранизация уже своим ходом пошли осваивать книжную версию
По книге он был утыкан стрелами, может были и в коленях. А ещё по книге он убил целую гору орков в одиночку, он убивал их пока его меч не переломился несмотря на смертельные ранения. Даже Арагорн отмечает что немногим удалось подобное и тому нечего стыдится в свои последние мгновения
A mile, maybe, from Parth Galen in a little glade not far from the lake he found Boromir. He was sitting with his back to a great tree, as if he was resting. But Aragorn saw that he was pierced with many black-feathered arrows; his sword was still in his hand, but it was broken near the hilt; his horn cloven in two was at his side. Many Orcs lay slain, piled all about him and at his feet.
Aragorn knelt beside him. Boromir opened his eyes and strove to speak. At last slow words came. "I tried to take the Ring from Frodo ' he said. "I am sorry. I have paid." His glance strayed to his fallen enemies; twenty at least lay there. "They have gone: the Halflings: the Orcs have taken them. I think they are not dead. Orcs bound them." He paused and his eyes closed wearily. After a moment he spoke again.
"Farewell, Aragorn! Go to Minas Tirith and save my people! I have failed."
"No!" said Aragorn, taking his hand and kissing his brow. "You have conquered. Few have gained such a victory. Be at peace! Minas Tirith shall not fall!"
Да, это самый большой косяк киноадаптации, ведь по книге Боромир остался жив и виртуозно руководил обороной Минас-Тирита, изгнав в сражении трёх назгулов и убив пятерых мумаков из баллисты, затем был в первых рядах на самоубийственной атаке черных врат, а в конце водрузил корону на голову Арагорна объявив того королём. Но всё это было вырезано из сюжета, потому что Шон Бин потребовал чтобы его убили уже в первом фильме
