A small something on necessary death.
I'm assuming that I'm not the only person who thinks deaths (in movies, mind you) are sometimes necessary. For example, we'll tackle the case of Boromir from "The Fellowship of the Ring." Boromir was the next in line for the stewardship of Gondor. He was excellently portrayed by Sean Bean. And was one of the easiest characters to relate to. However, his death was inevitable. If he hadn't died, there are almost endless numbers of possibilities to the political struggles that would've arisen between Boromir and Aragorn, if both of them had survived. However, Boromir did, in fact, die, trying to save two of his friends. A character that would've become evil died doing the right thing. To loosely paraphrase "The Dark Knight", You either die a hero, or live long enough to become a villain. Just a thought.
