Excellent work, Kay Eye. The Ringer from NZ who origianlly wrote the foregoing "analysis" of Faraimir's character was very selective in his choice of supporting material and instead demolished a strawman.

It's just possible that Jackson has captured on film, somewhere, that missing facet of Faramir's character that you and I and so many other fans love. But we weren't shown that in movie. Instead, we've been subjected to apologies maquerading as analysis.

Jackson has been duly lauded for his triumph in Fellowship. He's certainly deserving of credit for some excellent work in Towers. But he should also shoulder the blame for his abuse of Faramir, Treebeard, and the story arc for Towers.

Whatever brings you joy! If hating the film because it wasn't perfect makes you happy, then more power to ya. I prefer my way.
