look there r critiques to be made abt the characterization of movie!Faramir but he’s actually so important to me. the fact he Is tempted and that his temptation mirrors Boromir’s in that they’re both centered around love means so much to me, actually
#Boromir’s love for his people vs Faramir’s desire to be loved by Denethor#showing how much Denethor Had whittled away at Faramir.#*would* he have been tempted by the ring if he hadn’t been constantly belittled by his own father? I think that’s a valid question#or even if Boromir had been alive#in that moment Faramir had lost the one person in his direct family that cared for him genuinely and openly#like Denethor is all he had left. and Denethor cannot stand him. Denethor wishes he was dead.#*but maybe if he returns with the ring* <- and that is like. soso important to me for realsies#not to mention the arc of him overcoming the temptation before it’s too late and sending Frodo and Sam on their way#which like. As A Boromir Enjoyer. I think is so critical#like. if you raised someone. wouldn’t you hope that they’d take what they learned from you and become better? not repeat your mistakes?#Boromir adored his brother and Faramir was tempted but he didn’t fall. he learned and he became better. he didn’t repeat Boromir’s mistakes#idk I think obviously there are things that work in a book that don’t work on film and I really do enjoy movie Faramir I think they#crafted a very cool little guy#lotr
