20 - Saddest Character Death
I'd love to be able to say "Boromir's death" right now, but I sadly can't.
Why? Because of that stupid, stupid, stupid continuity mistake that I can't unsee no matter how much I want to cry in peace!
(note Boromir's hand on Aragorn's left shoulder)
(the reverse-shot without Boromir's hand)
Yes, I'm crying buckets every time Boromir says his famous "I would have followed you my brother... my captain... my king!"-line, but that's after I spent the last minute(s) grumbling about that damn stupid hand that's (dis)appearing in every other shot.
So, I'll go with another death - one I can "enjoy" without wanting to strangle PJ:
Haldir's death in the Battle of Helm's Deep
Seeing life leaving an immortal being is just too sad to comprehend. Add the fact that he's dying in Aragorn's arms and I'm lost in tears.
