It looks like those pics are from the TT extended edition, but I could be wrong.

Is it a backstory though guys? What the hey?
 To the best of my recollection, Boromir and Faramir don't spend any time together in the books. There's only Faramir and Denathor's memories of Boromir, when they talk about him. Or am I missing something giant?

**Breathes a sigh of relief.**
Looks like I need to go get myself the DVDs! Cool flashback.

It's a wonderful scene in the TTT:SE that demonstrates the dynamics between the three characters of Boromir, Faramir, and Denethor. You really feel sorry for Faramir, the younger son of Denethor which goes a ways to explain his behavior towards Frodo and the Ring. There is also a flashback in ROTK which will feature Boromir.
