Denethor and Faramir in the movies
[In reply to]

My impression was that Denethor was farther along the road to madness when we meet him in PJ's RotK than he was in the book, even if he wasn't quite there yet. As for Faramir, it was the opposite. He seemed to me to still be vulnerable and trying to win his father's esteem in the movie whilst in the book he seemed past that and more resigned to his father's disdain. I'm a woman - I love Faramir of the book (I prefer non "alpha" men anyway). But IMO PJ had him tempted by the Ring both to underscore the power of the Ring and to give Faramir more of an arc.

The only problem with that notion is that Sauron never fully understood Gandalf's plan.

No, Sauron didn't know, but Denethor did.
