Faramir acting like Boromir? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I think the films try to show Faramir acting like Boromir and doing what Boromir would have done, in the hopes that he would please his father. Here is one example:

*"The ring will go to Gondor" - I could easily see Boromir trying to take Frodo and Sam to Gondor with the ring, and if I remember correctly (haven’t read Fellowship in a while) he even tries to convince Frodo to go to Minas Tirith in the book. Perhaps when Faramir sees the ring he has a kind of "what would Boromir do?" moment, and decides that he will do what Boromir would have done and take the ring to Gondor.

Can you think of any other times in the films, where we see Faramir trying to act like Boromir, or doing things Boromir probably would have done?
