Post subject:  Book Faramir vs. Movie Faramir
What do you guess think about the difference between the Faramir in the book, and the Faramir in the movie??

I think that they were pretty different... Book Faramir was a lot nicer and understanding!!

What does eveyone else think??

Faramir in the book is so much better! Much more noble, wonderful, etc ... Yes, tempted by the ring a little bit, but he doesn't drag Frodo all the way back to Osgiliath. The regular movie version of the TT really deviated from the book. ugh.

Very bad move PJ, very BAD!

Maybe in the extended cuts it was a tiny bit better but still..... you cannot change the roots.

Without any doubts, Faramir in the movies was shown to dark, even darker then Boromir who is considered to be the "tougher" one from the two brothers....

Many critics did fall on this account, the history repeats itself....

David=good actor, but portraying Faramir kinda sad. So book faramir better. Either that or the script needed to be changed....well Faramir in movie, rotk, better than TTT, I have to admit. It was good enough to catch ppl's eyes who haven't read the book.

Faramir in the book was way better. I loved how he was so noble, so like and yet unlike Boromir. Shall I say it? Boromir as he should have been.

Older siblings should never have things to learn from their younger siblings.

I think it's difficult to say one is better than the other - they're both so different. Book Faramir is aa lot morenoble, but I can understand PJ's reasoning behind the book change.

Its hard to compare witch one of the two was more noble or not becouse we dont know alot about them before the War of the Ring. Okay, it is said that Boromir was more of a fighter but still kind in heart while Faramir was more of a lore orientated person. In the apendices of the ROTK think it can be found more about their character.

In my eyes both of them had been equal in a certain way, but the ring tipped sides in the story. Boromir fell under its power, Faramir gained experience that the ring is a dangerous tool and his brothers death proved him so.

What I was meaning, Aemornion, was that Boromir, while kind and noble, was also proud and convinced that he could master the Ring. Faramir was humble, and knew he could not. That's why I say Faramir was Boromir as he should have been.

True, he was proud and maybe slightly arrogant but he was lured/tepmted by it for the ring has a power of its own, the power to govern over living men, elves, hobbits and dwarves alike.

I love David Wenham, but I can't watch that part of TTT. RotK I'm fine with, but the script for TTT drives me bonkers.

Basically, book!

Well, I think ordinarily he would've realised it, but when the Ring was luring him, I think he kind of 'forgot' that, so to speak, and thought he could master it, much as the Ring wanted him to.

Alright, here goes.

I loved Boromir AND Faramir in the books - Boromir was noble, brave and a warrior, while Faramir was more kind and loving, maybe less arrogant because of the way Denethor treated him all the time. (grrrrr!) i DIDN'T like how in the movies Faramir dragged poor Frodo and Sam all the way down to Osgiliath. i liked him in RotK though. I also always liked how it took about 6 arrows to kill poor Boromir and how sorry he was about having chased Frodo, it warmed me alot to his character. he was just weaker willed than Faramir which is why he was more tempted by the Ring. all in all, i liked both of them, but the book version better.

I loved both the book Faramir and the Movie Faramir. When I first saw the movies i was like who is that???? but i loved the character anyways and i though he was awsome. Even no that I know thats Faramir, I still think of them as completely different characters. On the Faramir/ Boromir issue, i think that Boromir was more Noble and Proud, I also think he only tried to take the ring for Loyalty, thats what he was sent to do, it was not his fault really.

Yeah, i guess because Boromir didn't even want to go get the ring . . . i still liked the book Faramir better. XD

In the books, Faramir is nicer too Frodo. In the books he looks like to me that he understand Frodo a little bit better that in the movies.
