How was it confusing to have Faramir take Frodo to Osgiliath? He had come across stangers in the wilderness. They might be spies of Sauron. Safest course is to escort them to Minas Tirith. Then he discovers that Frodo is carrying the Ring. So, at the same time as discharging his duty, he gets to bring his father something that he desperately wants. Seems pretty clear to me.

If anyone didn't get that, they really did need the films dumbing down.
