Redeeming Faramir - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Though I would like to argue with Meela, I have suddenly been hit with a reason as to WHY they made Faramir take Frodo and Sam to Osgiliath. Remember that Faramir was wounded in Osgiliath? What better way to set that up than to make him take the Hobbits there? After all, it would be slightly strange to just have him in the movie for a split second and then suddenly wanting you to care when you find out later in RotK that he was injured in some battle at a city you never saw or heard of before until that moment. I suddenly don't dislike the movie Faramir as much as I did! Ha!<P>A way to redeem himself? Wake up, realize his foolishness and then sweep Éowyn off her feet like so many leaf-blowers, that's what!
