I personally feel that this is not a big deal as far as the movies go, but here's my opinion anyway.<P>I know Tolkien said that Faramir was supposed to have black hair. But like many other people here, I can't see Faramir having black hair, it just doesn't work in my mind. When I was first introduced to the character of Faramir, I visualised him having brown hair, and then seeing PJ's Faramir, I thought David Wenham looked more or less like the Faramir I imagined. I just don't see him having black hair.<P>I'm sure there probably would be more of an outcry if it was any other characters. But I think the difference there, is that the other characters tend to be described more fully when we first meet them. We know straight off that Galadriel has golden hair, so it's hard to imagine her as dark haired. With Faramir, his hair colour is left pretty wide open until further on, but by that time, a lot of readers have already formed their own image of Faramir.
