wish fulfillment au where boromir lives through amon hen and since the ring has moved on his thoughts are clear and he’s just aragorn’s devoted right hand
and he and gimli gripe endlessly about the run across rohan because “i had THIS MANY ARROWS in my chest i want our hobbits back but CAN WE SLEEP” and he’s 5000% ticked by the rohirrim who don’t respect aragorn and he and eowyn become rampaging bffs and he gets in on the body counting at helm’s deep (“ARAGORN I’M BEHIND I’M GOING TO THE DOOR” “YOU ARE NOT GET BACK HERE”) and he and treebeard become instant kin because mi hobbit es su hobbit and he goes through the dimholt pass with aragorn and hates every single second of it but is unfailingly by his side through all of it
and then gets to minas tirith and reunites with faramir and finds out pippin is a guard of the citadel and has to go lock himself in a room and laugh for hours
We all know how Boromir has all the “protective big bro” instincts (Faramir can tell you more about it); So obviously, tiny hobbits activate his power.
Viggo Mortensen:“We’re still working! Some odd takes and things like that.” Sean Bean:“And we continue to talk about it… I think that you always have something left, that you take something of the character with you.” Viggo Mortensen:“Yes.” Sean Bean:“You keep the character and you can return to work and bring him out after some time. It’s there, within you.” Viggo Mortensen:“Now, for example, I’m looking at you and some things come to me at once, like difficult scenes that we did, in which our characters worked closely together. They will remain in my memory forever.” Sean Bean:“Yes, yes.” Viggo Mortensen:“And when I see you in other films, I know that there are things that I have had the fortune to share with you which others have not.” Sean Bean:“I agree.”
Sean & Viggo answer a reporter’s question (What’s it like working with the same character for so long?)
