[The Saucepan Man]

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Why would Faramir, after witnessing Frodo attempting to give the One Ring to a Ringwraith (or at least put it on and give himself up), tell him that he finally understands and let him go? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>I agree. It does seem a very strange way of bringing about Faramir's "understanding" of Frodo. Perhaps its supposed to show his realisation of the power of the Ring and its destructive effect on the Ringbearer. But it's hardly likely to inspire him with confidence in Frodo, is it?<P>Do Jackson & co explain their thinking behind this in any interviews?
