The reason that they didn't give Faramir and Boromir their proper "raven locks" was that the non-Tolkien members of the audience would get them confused with Aragorn, especially with that whole Gondorian thing going on. PJ just decided to simplify it, and stick with blond hair for Boromir and Faramir, that way, the non-Tolkies could actually remember who they were. <P><BR>(Such babies, they are!)
