I think PJ took a 180 degree turn with Faramir at the end of the movie & we will see the noble Faramir we all knew & loved from the book emerge in ROTK. Well, Osgiliath should have been half in ruins BEFORE the attack, no? Faramir in the book, even in haste, was not hasty, to crack a bad joke.ĭoes Faramir in the books not explicitly state: He doesn't even show the defect Denethor points out, to want to appear grand and noble in all situations (well, extremely briefly and sketchily then) He looks, well, hasty. One thing Faramir does not do in the movies, is take a whole afternoon to question them, and ponder the matter at length. Of course a normal captain would have killed them or sent them to the King. He also tells Sam, at one point, that if he had been so hasty as Sam is, he would have had them executed already. Remember, in the book, Faramir takes three chapters to sort out the question, 83 pages in my edition. ![]() ![]() If the point disappears, I think the point-making character should do the same. Obviously, his chief purpose in Tolkien's story is to make a point. However, Tolkien's point is presicely that Faramir is not the average captain. Well, the average captain sends them back to Denethor. ![]()
