I am in agreement with you, Deiagorn. I am actually writing a story on this how <I>I</I> saw Faramir when I watched the movies, if any of you are interested. It's finished, but not done, if you take my meaning. There are still some parts I am redoing to make it even better.<P>For those of you who say Faramir let them go because Frodo was offering the Ring to the Nazgul, there are two things I'd like to say...<P>1. He <I>wasn't</I> offering the Ring to the Nazgul. If you look, he's actually putting it on. When I first saw the movie I <I>did</I> think he was offering it to the Nazgul, which made me upset (thinking, "Stupid Frodo! What's that for?" ) but on second viewing I realized he was putting the Ring on his finger (of course, Sam luckily stepped in just then).<P>2. How do you know it was Frodo offering (though he wasn't) the Ring to the Nazgul that changed Faramir's mind? When I saw the movie, it was <I>Sam</I> who gave him a change of heart (which my story explains, and, BTW, that's what I saw, not necessarily what <I>did</I> change him). <P>I admit Faramir was not perfect, because, no, he wasn't. But I think it was the whole 'The Ring is going to Gondor' deal that made people see him as a 'badguy.' Of course, I may be wrong, I don't have your eyes or minds. But pretend you're watching the movie and Faramir doesn't bring the hobbits to Osgiliath. Does he seem more of a better person now?<P>I read HC's post on the official Osgiliath thread explaining some reasons why PJ might had Faramir take the hobbits to Osgiliath, and I agree with him.<P>I'm kind of unhappy because many people say Faramir was destroyed. Was he really destroyed, utterly ruined? Was there nothing noble and good about him? He <I>did</I> contrast greatly with his brother. He let them go, while Frodo ran away from Boromir.<P>Navaer, mellynen! I do hope I haven't offended anyone. Remember, nothing I said is a fact (well, with the exception of a few things, like Frodo not offering the Ring to the Nazgul); it's all my opinions and views on the whole matter.
