Of course, in the book, Faramir dreamt this dream more than once (can't remember the exact number of times) and Boromir once, so they both held it in common. I suppose if they had used this in the movie, the fact that Boromir had already known what "Isildur's Bane" was in FOTR would give it away to Faramir too quickly. And as for Faramir finding the Ring around Frodo's neck so quickly, perhaps the scene before the sword on the Ring scene was Faramir holding Frodo upside down and shaking him to empty his pockets, etc. Now that would have been an amusing scene! <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>That's what we needed to make sense of this!

I think he was reading out of "Battle Analysis for Dummies" when he says "Saruman attacks from Isengard, Sauron from Mordor." Cheers, Lyta
