I think the truth lies in the middle. [In reply to] Can't Post
And I think it must be admitted that the characters as written may have not translated well to the screen. Perhaps they did go a bit far, but then again perhaps they didn't. I think fans of the book should be MUCH more upset with the Faramir decision than with Aragorn and Eowyn. Aragorn NEVER leads Eowyn on and treats her with respect and platonic affection in the films and I think it's a poorly chosen complaint. Faramir, however, is a legitimate argument.
