It is said in the books (be Gandalf I believe) that Denethor married a Gondorian woman of great beauty, who because of her meek lineage died young. Boromir took after her in all but humility while Faramir took after Denethor in all but pride. Thus, Denethor, reminded of his late wife by Boromir, held B. as his favorite. So it is true that Boromir took more after the Avari of the Twilight and Faramir after the Numenoreans of old.
