[QUOTE="KnowTheToe, post: 563246, member: 1961"] [b]Re: Faramir Red, Faramir Blue, Faramir Old, Faramir New...[/b] It was supposed to be vague, I was writing in my barbarian voice. Basically I believe the theatrical version of Faramir could not get the same amount of story and development time as in the book, therefore it is easier to develope his character strength by overemphaising his decision and struggle with the ring. When we first see him we are supposed to think he is the same as Boromir, but in the end he has a little more strength and honor than Boromir. PJ now has the third movie to develope him into a likeable and admirable person. One of the things I really liked about these movies is the continual effect of the ring. It is always plauging someone. From Bilbo's struggle to give it up and Gandalf's muttering at the fire to the effects at the coucil of Elrond and the outburst of Boromir against Frodo to Faramir. Not to mention Frodo's constant struggle. PJ will not let us forget what is at stake. Most movies bring up something this heavy and forget about it and let viewers get lost in other aspects of the story. Here the ring is at the center of everything. [/QUOTE]
