<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> One thing that struck as I was reading a transcript of the movie. Here's Faramir with two hobbits that he's found that are obviously being less then truthful with him. No matter how nice a guy he was that is bound to p*** him off. One understandable reaction (that I know is different then the book) is to say to yourself, "you guys are going to act like criminals, I'll treat you like criminals until I get some straight answers". <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> He doesnt need redeeming <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I agree with both of you First of all, a really nice guy like Faramir in the book is pretty rare, and I thought that the movie Faramir was really good. And, I think that he should get nicer in the second movie, and the scene where Denethor is telling him he liked Boromir more, and the one where he is brought back and Denethor cries over him ought to be so sad that we'll all feel sorry for saying Faramir wasn't any good. <BR>Edit: Happy 333rd post to me! I like that number... <p>[ March 29, 2003: Message edited by: GaladrieloftheOlden ]
