Jackson's version of Faramir is a real disservice to the character of Faramir. For that, he should feel ashamed. Faramir was created by Tolkien as a man with the highest of character who would not even try and catch an Orc in a lie, and yet we see him mercilessly having his men beat a defenseless Gollum. We have from Tolkien a man who placed honor and doing what's right above everything else, even if it cost him his father's love and even his life, and from Jackson we get a man presented who is less honorable than Boromir, and scarcely better than Grima Wormtongue, who Jackson shows shedding a tear of sorrow.
I am not trying to beat up on Jackson, but what he did with Faramir is without excuse, and totally unnecessary. Merry
