They contemplated it, but there are certainly instances in the film when they prove they did not understand it. Fran Walsh's typical New Zealand liberal worldview does rear its ugly head now and then, especially in the extended edition of the dvds.

For instance the little speech Faramir gives standing over the body of one of the bad guys they'd killed, where he implies that his motives for war were as noble as Frodos.

Her faith is 'moral equivalence' and they hate the concept of absolutes, which is the concept that Tolkien of course inculcated throughout the trilogy.
