7. Honour Thy Brother
A lot of us probably don’t pay attention to much of the detail put into the wardrobes, but there is plenty of it. From the cloaks the Hobbit’s receive in Rivendell to Aragorn’s crown, the design team put thousands of man hours into perfecting the style of Middle Earth and its people. For those of us that do have a keen eye for details, you may have recognized Aragorn’s wrist bracers, but don’t know why. Well, as we all know, Boromir meets a valiant end in Fellowship and dies in Aragorn’s arms. What we don’t see is that he takes his bracers. Why? You’ll notice Aragorn wearing them in the next two films, to honour his fallen comrade.
