It was great acting on the part of Viggo Mortensen as he let out an agonized scream after kicking a helmet, but it was actually real pain. Mortensen had unknowingly broken two toes in that take but kept up with his character by using that to add more despair into Aragorn's acting. The take impressed director Peter Jackson and he kept it in the final cut because it is full of raw emotion. The moment received a lot of praise due to Mortensen's commitment and improvisation.
