Faramir/Denethor from Lord of the Rings: Return of the King
Ian Mckellen, Vig go Mortensen, Elijah Wood, Sean Astin, Cate Blanchett, Hugo Weaving, Miranda Otto, Billy Boyd, Orlando Bloom, Dominic Monaghan, Bernard Hill, David Wenham, John Noble.
Faramir (Wenham) pops up in the second installment of Lord of the Rings as Boromir's gentler, less war-inclined brother who helps Frodo and Sam find the road to Mount Doom. In the third installment, though, he returns to his home city of Gondor as armies are bearing down on the place and faces his father (Noble) who has been driven crazy by the proximity of the evil Mount Doom and grieving over the death of Boromir, the so he loved. Faramir is obviously the unwanted son and Denethor wastes no time telling Faramir about how pathetic and weak he is in comparison to his brother. Faramir remains attached to his father, though, and strives to make him proud. After losing the citadel to the enemy and coming back into the gates of the city, Denethor rebukes him for giving up the small defense so 'easily', even though Faramir and his men were clearly outnumbered and would only have died if they stayed. But Denethor is unreasonable and pushes Faramir to admit that he failed.
