I understand perfectly well that they couldn't fit in the romance between Faramir and Eowyn. However, I think those that have read the books actually have an advantage in that department over those who didn't. My aunt, who has never read them, told me that she was confused about the whole "side story," involving the death of Denethor and the saving of Faramir by Pippin. She said that after that, she didn't see him again anymore (I suppose she didn't catch the fleeting glance of him at the end). I think that Peter Jackson, though perhaps he couldn't fit the whole thing in, could at least have hinted at something, so as to give the Faramir and Eowyn characters a bit more closure for fans of the book, and especially non-book fans, who really have no idea where they ended up.
