Faramir?
Janessa Niniall

Am I the only person who was bothered by Peter Jackson's treatment of Faramir in TTT? In the book Faramir is noble and honest, way above Boromir. In the film he just seemed to repeat Boromir's mistakes, and only lets Frodo and Sam go when he realises they are being chased by a large flying Nazgul. As far as I can see there is no reason to make these changes to his character. If any one has any comments please let me know, becuase no one else seems to have notices (except for my fellow audience members who, thanks to me, were DEFINITLY aware of it by the end!)
