*TTT - Faramir (David Wenham)*

I'm sorry, Numenorean, but I for one do not agree with you. I think that what they did to Faramir's character was emabrassing to Tolkien fans. I understand that they needed to make the movie 'interesting' to the non-tolkienite movie-goers but twisting Faramir's character was *not* that solution. His brother Boromir had *allready* shown weakness to the ring (maybe that was why they changed it so much), but Faramir had been obviously stronger than that in the book, making him one of my more favorite characters. I though it was extremely unecessary for them to change his character.<P>I was lost in ire when I saw the movie for the first time on December 17th, my friend convinced herself that it *wasn't* Faramir at all and that Faramir had been killed prior to the movie and some other character was added in his place. We agreed that there were no similarites between Faramir from the book and the so-called Faramir in the movie.<P>I believe however that I may be so focused on that mistake that I am not being open-minded. I would appreciate if someone could point out *some* similarities between the two 'Faramirs'.
