The Insanity of Denethor - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I was wondering what you all thought about how Denethor went crazy in the movies as opposed to in the books.

He didn't have the palantir (at least in the theatrical version, which is all I have to work with as of now.) yet he still wanted to kill himself on Faramir's pyre, until he realized that Faramir was indeed alive, but then Shadowfax and Gandalf pushed him into the fire, and he ran over the edge of the conviently-placed drop off.
Do any of you have any thoughts on the subject of how this was implemented?
