Anything dealing with this cycle of stories can be discussed here: Andra and Boromir as a couple, the Denethor/Imrahil/Andrahar rivalry, the politics of Gondor in the last days of the Third Age.

I think it probably did contribute a bit. Particularly when Imrahil carries him back off the field and recounts Faramir's deeds to him. And that was the effect I was trying for.
