Faramir Meets Pippin on the Streets of Minas Tirith
FILMS: When Faramir arrives in Minas Tirith from his travels in Ithilien and sees Pippin on the city streets, he immediately reveals to Gandalf that this is not the first halfling he has seen.
BOOKS: Faramir does not reveal his encounter with Sam and Frodo until he reports to Lord Denethor in his private chamber.
PRO: By moving some of the action from Denethors chamber to the city streets, the filmmakers take better advantage of what films do especially well - move the audience from location to location. Having too much action confined to a single room would make the film seem too much like a stage play.
CON: This change is an invention of the scriptwriters and does not represent Tolkiens work.

Yet suddenly for Faramir his heart was strangely moved with a feeling that he had not known before. Here was one with an air of high nobility such as Aragorn at times revealed, less high perhaps, yet also less incalculable and remote: one of the Kings of Men born into a later time, but touched with the wisdom and sadness of the Elder Race. He knew now why Beregond spoke his name with love. He was a captain that men would follow, that he would follow, even under the shadow of the black wings.
‘Faramir!’ he cried aloud with the others. ‘Faramir!’ And Faramir catching his strange voice among the clamour of the men of the City, turned and looked down at him and was amazed.
‘Whence come you?’ he said. ‘A halfling, and in the livery of the Tower! Whence…?
При этих словах Гендальф присутсвовал, но фраза не была акцентирована. акцент был сделан на упоминании Кирит-Унгола. Вот тогда-то у Гендальфа руки и задрожали...
А эльфы на пелленроских полях меня совершенно не удивляют... Я даже наличию Арвен в ХП в режиссерской версии ТТТ не удивлюсь...
