One Does Not Simply
The popularity of the “One does not simply walk into Mordor” meme may have overshadowed the impact of the Lord of the Rings film itself. The iconic line, spoken by Sean Bean’s character Boromir, has become a cultural phenomenon and a staple in internet humor. The meme is often used to express the idea that a task or challenge is not as simple as it may seem and has been applied to a variety of contexts beyond the realm of Middle-earth.
Despite his character’s unfortunate fate in the film, Sean Bean is a celebrated actor with an extensive filmography. He is known for playing complex characters who often meet tragic ends, such as Ned Stark in Game of Thrones and Alec Trevelyan in Goldeneye. Currently, Bean is working on the television series Snowpiercer, which is set in a post-apocalyptic world where the last remnants of humanity live on a perpetually-moving train.
