When Faramir is talking to his deputy (I don't know who it was, he was never named) before he questions Frodo, they are looking at the map of Middle Earth. Faramir goes on to say something along these lines.<P>"Saruman attacks from Isengard, Sauron from Mordor." and he has this look on his face that says "Ah! It all makes sense now!"<P>This part strikes me as a particularly good example of how the films were 'dumbed-down' for the mass audience.<P>What do you think?
