Hey, what if: Boromir saw a lot of Faramir in Aragorn because they dressed the same and had the same way of moving through the woods and land. That's why he is parenting Aragorn at the beginning then accepting his valor. henceforth ''My brother (You remind me of my own brother), my captain (you're a great leader), my king (You'd be a good king).''.
He wasn't really parenting Aragorn. Actually, he doubled Boromir in age. He was dubious of Aragorn's quality because Gondorians were proud and were starting to forget the days of old (like the days of Arnor and subsequently the Dúnedain rangers)

Faramir's costume resembling Aragorn's is brilliant considering he ends up with Eowyn, who had a crush on Aragorn; it shows she has a thing for rangers.
It'd be one thing if you were complaining because you didn't think David Wenham did well as Faramir, but essentially claiming that they should've traded an actor who portrayed his character very well, for one that acting wise wasn't as suited for the role simply because he's a few inches taller is ridiculous. I'm pretty sure that Tolkien would've cared more about having his characters portrayed well acting wise, than making sure that they all matched up to how they're described in the books.
Actually I think David Windham did a good job. He was more subtle than Sean Bean, using his expression more than body movements, whereas Sean Bean was more physical and vocal. Both, in my opinion were good and you and I will see things differently. Neither of us are right and neither of us are wrong so it's all good.

Good Lord, yes! But with all the things he went through, him & Eowyn are my fav couple and highlights in return of the king ❤️ Wished they had more scenes together!
@@Sun.Shine-wish they had shown a few clips of their wedding. They both looked great in their wedding attire so it would have looked so great on the screen.
i really envy the costume and equipment designers of this movie and the brilliant job they did of giving each race and individual there own signiture themes and styles ... in fact in one art course and GCSE i decided to make my final project a redesigned gollum (ended up looking very like "the thing from black lagoon")

I'd honestly rather see a good actor who's able to portray the personality and essence of a character more then one who just matched the physical attributes of the character in the book. Also, I'm not sure why someone would be upset about the outfit not being all green. Really? The brown is bad?
Now that was interesting. Not that all the things I've been seeing about the behind the scenes for LOTR was not but I'm getting into leather tooling so this about Faramirs costume was especially so.
@kerranz It's true, it does call him the tall man in green, but at the same time it says about those rangers that, "all had swords at their sides, and were clad in green and brown of varied hues, as if the better to walk unseen in the glades of Ithilien." I have to admit, I did picture Faramir's outfit as being ALL green, but I suppose there's room for interpretation (ex: mostly green, but with brown in there as well). Personally I think green compliments Wenham better than brown, but oh well.

Actually in the book, Denethor's mourning of Boromir is a major part of his character. He might have been testing his will against Sauron for many years but it is the death of Boromir that actually breaks him. As for the costume, it works. It works incredibly well. The tree is faded, easily covered by the cloak and the regular browns are because it is using LEATHER, which makes the costume much more practical. And before you bring book-reading into this, Ive been a fan of the it since I was 8
@doctorwho415 What better colors for anyone to wear if they're to be hiding & fighting in the woods, whether they be the forests of Sherwood or those of Ithilien? But yeah, those were the colors that described the rangers of Itilien's clothing in the books. I rather imagined them to look somewhat like Robin Hood's band - just a lot taller, more mysterious and less merry, heh.
Chrissy, There are two sorts, the Rangers of Ithilien (a Gondorian division originally operating from Minas Ithil, keeping Mordorians IN, and now prowling to harass and monitor approaching armies) and the 'Rangers' of the North, so-called by the men of the area around Bree-Town, who are the remnants of the Dunedain, protecting what remained of the lost realm of Arnor. Same basic functions militarily, and technically allied, though separated by twenty-five generations at the time of the Quest.

Why are you so angry? Just because someone disagrees with you on something, doesn't mean you have to get agitated and swear at them. I haven't insulted you at all, just shared my own opinion. You proceeded to insult me. But then I guess I shouldn't expect anything different on youtube. There's no room for discussion when childish insults can be made.
Because I've explained my position three times now, and you've actually stated that I have a right to resent the strange choices of the Director (just not the ones that don't bother YOU), and you still will not let it drop. It's like reasoning with a five-year old, or a Christian, or a girl. Congratulations on your accepting nature. Good on you. Now please go away.
I appreciate that you liked the movie. And it's clear that you don't understand. Got that the first time. You accepted these changes, I didn't . I've been reading the books since fifteen years before you were born. You should try it yourself one day, maybe you'll get it. The hair 'issue' ties Aragorn to Gondor, and further back to Numenor. Faramir and Boromir were effectively related to him. The costuming, I've covered. There was no reason to alter the facts of the tale. Let it go.
Yeah but see your making two different arguments here. I can understand the problems with characterization and plot being fiddled around with for the movie. The story and the characters is what made LOTR loved by all of us. I just don't understand the issue with hair and costume colour. And, I'm sorry, but you don't speak with JRR Tolkien thus you cant speak for him. Your opinion is no more relevant then mine; it's merely the opinion of one individual.
You're completely entitled to miss the point. There's no way of knowing how well another actor might have done, and Tolkein spent his life determining the characteristics of each of his races, so , yeah, I do think he'd want Boromir and Faramir to be dark-haired...it also ties Aragorn's lineage to theirs. For those who read the books for forty years, these images were ingrained. Tolkein used height repeatedly as his measure of royalty. Making Gandalf's brown eyes blue was the first affront.
See now getting all juvenile is not necessary. You know nothing about me yet you presume you know facts just to create a false sense of sureness in your own mind. I have, in fact, read LOTR many times now and I share my love of the books with a group who appreciates it like I do: for it's essence. If the minor facts bother you so much, then shouldn't the more obvious changes to the story make you despise the movie? Eg. Faramir being tempted by the Ring.
Of course anyone who loves the books had to rankle at both this outfit (it's described as being ALL green) and the strange choice to make Bor and Far sandy-haired, they should be raven-haired with blue eyes (the Brits say grey), which seemed a very odd change. I mean that's a basic trait of genetic Numenoreans. And they should both be tall, and Wenham ain't, check it out in Van Helsing sometime. Costumer's choice of jamming Red into all the royalty's outfits was a mistake too. Irritating.
Thanks for your love and support,am really glad you watched and enjoyed my videos here on UA-cam so feel free to write me on my official email as am able to reply you
Then you know less then you'd think because you are wrong on both counts. Ouch. Also, I'd hold the judgments if I were you since you were the once reacting on emotion, ie. telling me to fuck off, calling me a moron etc. That kind of stuff usually falls into the anger category. But then, I'd be pretty mad too if I were a 50 year old complaining about costume colours on youtube. So sad.
The point is that the costumer changed basic parts of the story, to handhold the ignorant, at the cost of longtime fans of the story. The Ithilien Rangers are supposed to be super-camouflaged Forest troops and she's got a big silver tree on his chest. It's stupid. ROTK is worst for that. I mean why turn Denethor into a Shakespearean buffoon mourning Boromir, when he was really being deceived by Sauron thru one of the Palantirs? Tolkein would've hated that. What you'd rather see is irrelevant
Being a costumer in this movie series must have been awesome, and also one of the hardest assignments of any movie ever made.
"To please his hideous father" YOU GO FASHION DESIGNER! XD

Probably my favorite costume of the trilogy. I created a replica of it (to the best of my ability) for the renaissance festival!
He was so hot here. Especially in this costume. Raised his hottness, it did. Like Viggo's.

I loved the browns and greens on Faramir better than black. I'm a red-head with fair skin and look much better in 'Autumn' colours.

Ugh, it`s such a shame Ngila didn`t want to work on the Hobbit, she did a marvelous job with the costumes on LotR
I'd honestly rather see a good actor who's able to portray the personality and essence of a character more then one who just matched the physical attributes of the character in the book.
Also, I'm not sure why someone would be upset about the outfit not being all green. Really? The brown is bad?
How can everything be so lovely about a fiction story? Book, movie, writer, director, actors, staff...
I am quite the fan of those strips of cloths that Faramir, Altaïr and Ezio have on their costumes.
Now that was interesting. Not that all the things I've been seeing about the behind the scenes for LOTR was not but I'm getting into leather tooling so this about Faramirs costume was especially so.
"...this terrible desire to please this hideous father" - made me LOL - but yeah, he *is* hideous as portrayed in the film. :P
I was drunk, I assure you.

0:04 who is that gorgeous girl? Fell in love with her when watching lotr the first time.
What, the one with her hand on her face?
I notice her every time I see the Return of the King! For some reason, she reminds me of an ancient Greek princess. I love her eyes!
@@duskflower8825 I agree, she looks like an ancient depiction of a goddess

Faramir is a hero
This is everything the new Amazon won’t be. The staff alone know and respect the source material

@Feanorielle Boromir demands more love; Faramir hopes for more love, but rather than demanding it, he gives it. They both deserve it, though. ; )
Chrissy, There are two sorts, the Rangers of Ithilien (a Gondorian division originally operating from Minas Ithil, keeping Mordorians IN, and now prowling to harass and monitor approaching armies) and the 'Rangers' of the North, so-called by the men of the area around Bree-Town, who are the remnants of the Dunedain, protecting what remained of the lost realm of Arnor.

Yeah that costume is good, but the armour it doesnt block arrows for shit but it looks amazing...can you buy a set anywhere?
TheAntiParadox Well tbh most armour can't block arrows.
question: is it flammable?
Does anyone know what the song is called what plays in the background

@doctorwho415 ^.^ I did think that the first time I seen it. Well, he is a robin hood in my eyes.
did she design Aragorn's / Strider's costume too?
Cool
It's a little tight across the chest.
😍
She designed all of them.
Actually it is, why do you think our sacred grove is a giant waterfall? It's good to be prepared for any campfire incidents.
"Slightly camouflaged"?

"or whatever..." Very Aussie..
@kerranz is completely missing the point lol
does this costume remind anyone else of robin hood? thats what i think of when i see it... probably just because its green and brown lol.
You have a beautiful knee
