Faramir - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Those lines were the ones that actually redeemed Faramir's movie character in my eyes. They were just what the book-Faramir would say, and I finally realized why he did what he did. For so long, his father had hated him, and had favored his brother over him. Now, he had the chance of winning his father's good graces, for all time. But once he said those lines, I realized that he knew that it didn't matter what his father thought of him. It only mattered that Sauron had to be defeated, and to do that, he had to let Frodo, Sam, and Gollum go, and he did, even risking death to do it.
