It makes for good cinema, yes, with the steely threat of that glittering blade so close to Frodo's vulnerable flesh, and his very clear struggle against the Ring and Faramir's threats, and his final break, when he screams and scrambles away to huddle himself in abject wretchedness against the rocks. It works very well, but it's not the Faramir we book readers know.
But, oh, look at his face. Look at those tormented eyes. God, he tears my heart out when he does scenes like that.
