*TTT - Faramir (David Wenham)*

[Lush]

a) PJ's Faramir does, eventually, come to his senses, and decide to forfeit his life, even. <P>b) I am pretty sure that this character is bound to grow and develop by the last film ("character arc"-thanks for mentioning that, Kalimac). You can see it in his eyes.<P>c)David Wenham is stunning and looks <I>exactly</I> like I pictured Boromir's baby brother. Yess preciousss. Suddenly, I am not feeling that bad for Eowyn at all.<P>For the above reasons, I do not concur with Sharkey & Co. that Faramir was a "ruined" character. Bruised and stretched, yes. A few bad lines? Oh hell yes. Even <I>I</I> was wincing, and I am a decidedly low-maintenace Tolkien fan. But like a few of you said, I think both the extended DVD version of "TTT" and "The Return of the King" will, hopefully, clear up some of the mess. Could've been better though, could've been a tad better.<p>[ December 18, 2002: Message edited by: Lush ]
