Let’s go back to the end of The Fellowship of the Ring, the first opus of Peter Jackson’s trilogy, and focus from Aragorn to Boromir.
“I would follow you my brother, my captain, my king.”
After Aragorn utters these last words, at the end of The Fellowship of the Ring, Boromir dies on the banks of the Anduin River. Fighting valiantly to protect Meri and Pippin against Saruman’s forces, the brave warrior of Gondor finally succumbed to the arrows of the Uruk-Hai.
While Frodo and Sam have already left their side for Mordor, Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli pay their last respects to their fallen companion and commit his remains to the murky waters of the river. before departure “Hunting the Orca”Three friends gather their weapons and prepare for a long race.
Adjusting his sword, fixing his armor, Aragorn wisely adds a new element to his gear, as Dominic Monaghan (Mayor’s Interpreter) details in the featurette’s audio commentary:
– This is a gesture that you hardly notice, Aragorn takes Boromir’s gloves.
In memory of his friend, the heir of Gondor really wants to keep his two gauntlets, the ring of the white wood of Minas Tirith.
“She wears my gloves to remember something”Boromir’s interpreter Sean Bean also comments.
“I think we don’t see it well, it was Viggo’s idea . It’s a nice gesture. He wears them a lot in the sequel. It’s like I gave something away. I’m a winner, in a way. Finished, I passed the torch to Aragorn. They will continue without me.”
Indeed, in The Two Towers and The Return of the King, the next two installments of the trilogy written by Peter Jackson, we see that Boromir’s two gauntlets never left Aragorn’s wrists.
