He wanted to apologize to Frodo for his weakness, for being tempted, and the saddest part is that frodo will never hear it with his own ears.

People who hate Boromir dont understand the corruption of the ring and the weakness of humanity to it. He was so so painfully human, and painfully loyal. And he only wanted the best for gondor and his family. And the ring was using his humanity against him. i will never fault him for that. Especially not when in the end he felt remorse for his actions towards Frodo, and went down defending frodos friends. His friends.

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)

Sons of Gondor! Of Rohan! My brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me! A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship. But it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the age of Men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you stand! Men of the West!
