Pippin even went on to name his son after his dear friend.
Tolkien’s Appendices detailed how the years played out for these characters.
Interestingly, Faramir Took married Samwise Gamgee’s daughter, Goldilocks Gardner.
Unfortunately,theLord of the Ringsmovies left all this out.
In fact,Return of the Kingbarely paid any attention to any of Faramir’s relationships.
The same is true for the scenes featuring Faramir’s budding relationship with Eowyn.
Perhaps one day there could be a sequel movie that dives into Aragorn’s reign in Gondor.
For now, we can only content ourselves with the heartwarming story Tolkien included in hisTheLord of the Ringsbooks.
