[@brooksboy78]

Nope, only the Calaquendi are supposed to do this, which is why Glorfindel does it in the book. Arwen is one of the Moriquendi. This is lore-breaking.

[@alomejorqueno]

As others have said, it’s wrong. It was supposed to be Glorfindel, and only Frodo saw it because the morgul-blade was pulling him into the unseen world. Calequendi who have seen the light of the trees see both the seen and unseen worlds at once, and Glorfindel has tremendous spiritual power from his self-sacrifice fighting and destroying a balrog in the fall of Gondolin. Tolkien’s elves don’t glow and aren’t ninjas. They have other, more subtle, strengths. Still are good movies, compared to the Rings of Power “just a little time compression” disaster.

[@connorbosley4431]

One thing to note also is how she appears to frodo compared to everyone else, to frodo she appears shining and wearing a pearl white gown, meanwhile to everyone else she's wearing pretty standard clothes for long distance horse riding.

As a hardcore Tolkien purist who read _The Silmarillion_ as a teenager, I'm bound to say that replacing Glorfindel with Arwen was one of the best choices they could possibly have made. One of the major improvements in the films.

Werrf1 wow. Hannon le to you also...

[@samantarizzi248]

Werrf1 I’ve read it as a teenager too actually I was around 13 (a teen but more so still a child xD) and I liked it but it was boring to me compared to the LOTR or Hobbit AT THAT TIME. I think I need to reread it ... every book including Silmarillion, I’m 26 years old now so I bet it wouldn’t be as boring now 😊 I love all the books though but I agree - Arwen was perfect in the movies!

[@MedicineMan55]

I agree completely, although were it Glorfindel you can understand why the wraiths rounded up all their numbers before pursuing him. Liv was wonderful in the film however.

You know what I love about this chase scene? There's no cgi (until the very end) and no crazy stunts. It's just great cinematography, editing and wonderful music.

[@joecolman1968]

This will forever be my main criticism of the hobbit. Far to reliant on CGI vs live action. I remember reading they used a huge number of extras for the battle scenes in LOTR to show the first few ranks then CGI'd the rest of the armies but nobody is looking 10 ranks back. The battle of Helms Deep is the best example

That whole scene: her riding up, the light radiating from her, her angelic face, and the music saying "tinuviel" as some sort of echo from Luthien. The scene is so immensely significant if you take the time to notice the detail. Perfection.

[@2b-coeur]

Maria Evans And SHE is perfection, I mean... Soooo perfect as Arwen. No one else is more suited for this role, her voice, her appearance... I'm actually glad they have more Aragorn and Arwen in here or else we'd only get to see her a very few times...

No one rode Frodo to safetly, lmao. Frodo rides against the Ringwraiths *alone.* It's all about his resilience and courage, not Glorfindel's or Arwen's. The reason why this scene doesn't work is because it strips all of Frodo's moments and gives them to Arwen. It's a nonsensical change. Frodo has 0 agency in the movies, and this is a HUGE reason why.

[@vamoalla9]

@Oliver Emmett Knox You mean Tauriel? Yeah...weird. Also Jackson made the decision to keep (somewhat) with the quality of the Hobbit book. He wanted to make it distinctly different from the LOTR movies just as Tolkien made the books different. A mistake I think. He should have made it more like LOTR and not been so heavy handed with the adaptation.

nahor88 She is the reason Aragorn keeps fighting. In the behind the scenes of Lord of the Rings, Liv Tyler (Arwen) says "She doesn't have to wield a sword to be strong." I believe Arwen is one of the strongest characters in Lord of the Rings. She gives up her immortally to be with a mortal man. She had the chance to sail to the West and be with her people forever but she chose the fate of men. I think it is one of the most beautiful love stories out there.

@Elestirnë Makes sense to me, Galadriel probably spooked the shit outta Frodo when he offered her the ring and she went nuts for a moment, plus Arwen gave Frodo that jewel thing after the war to ease his pain.... I also think it was kind of implied that Frodo's seat into the Undying Lands, at least the one on that boat full of studs, was Arwen's. From Sam's perspective Galadriel was just cool, and hooked him up with the magic Shire fixing dust too.

[@UchihaRiku94]

3:59 "Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that there's something more important than fear". Aruwen stared down 8 ringwraiths, if they had successfully crossed that river, that was it. For her, for Frodo, for all of middle earth. I'm sure she was afraid in her mind. But Frodos life, and the fate of middle earth itself, were on her shoulders. Fear be damned. Liv Tyler did this performance absolutely beautifully.

But when the camera cuts back to the perspective of the others she actually looks like she's been on the trail for a few days (in a coat, and her hair has a few braids and is a bit dishevelled). Frodo was falling far enough into the darkness by that point that just seeing someone with the life of the Eldar in them was like seeing an angel. And Arwen never saw the Two Trees of Valinor (she was born millennia after their death). Imagine if Frodo was greeted by her grandmother Galadriel, who had not only looked upon the trees but whose hair was said to have captured their light.

[@huntermoore7669]

She’s have been an fiery angel! I bet she alone could have burned the darkness from Frodo

[@Fuzzelism]

I love that the female characters in Tolkiens saga are quite badass.

[@Mg95a]

I dont think people should compare Tauriel and Arwen in looks because they do look different, but in regards to the goregous "White light" which is shown in the FOTR and the DoS when Arwen speaks to Frodo and Tauriel heals Kili, then yes, I think we can make some interesting comparisons, although I think Arwen does it better because when she walks up with her long dark hair and her beautiful white gown, it gives off a more powerful yet graceful effect and I think Liv Tyler did a wonderful job of showing that within this scene.

[@MDkid1]

Liv Tyler is an elf in real life. Have you seen how graceful that woman is??? Not much to do in terms of acting here! :)

[@valeriefajardo151]

SO TRUE. And, really Arwen should outshine Tauriel in every respect. There is only one elf who could compete with Arwen's beauty in the books and that's Galadriel. No other elf-lady will compare. When it comes to power, Arwen comes from a long line of elven nobles on both her father and her mother's side (her ancestor was a demi-god on Elrond's side, her mother - Galadriel's daughter - is a royal daughter of a house established in the First age). Tauriel is a Silvan elf - beautiful like all elves, but considerably less powerful and significant.

The music when Arwen is speaking to Frodo is later reused in the scene where Aragorn and Arwen meet in Minas Tirith after his coronation. And I just realised this today after having watched these movies over 20 times!

[@tylerjones7592]

She is a descendant of Luthien

[@just_cade]

I would have to choose Galadriel. She is like as pure of an elf as you can get, and she has direct relations to all of the most important elves in history, mainly Finwe, Elwe (Thingol), Olwe, and Ingwe (the first four high kings, who are her grandparents and uncles). She is a perfect mixture of Noldor, Teleri, and Vanyar, and she was born in Aman in the time of the trees before the first age even began. Arwen is extremely beautiful however, and a very close second to Galdriel, plus she is distantly related to Luthien, the most beautiful woman to ever live (funnily enough Aragorn is also related to Luthien, making him a distant cousin to Arwen).

[@TheTrueNarthumpulous]

Damn. This is one of the most beautiful movies ever made. 1:55 The build up of the momentum of this transition is pure perfection.

[@TheGosslings]

This scene was so beautifully evocative, from the whispering into the horse's ear as she rode off to the "If you want him, come and claim him" line that swells the heart of every Godly man. Truly these movies were masterpieces. Liv Tyler really nailed it.

[@janetkizer5956]

I could watch that scene a million times and it would still raise my heartbeat and make me hold my breath in terror. The Black Riders are at their most dangerous. The horse Arwen and Frodo are riding is so beautiful. And the scene at the river is so perfectly, gorgeously filmed.

[@alexanderren1097]

When I first saw the movies I was confused as to why they replaced Glorfindel with Arwen for this role but at the time it didn't really upset me very much and after rereading the books many more times since, I think this was one of those few changes in which a movie improves upon the books it's based on. In order to more fully understand Aragorn, we need to know his motivations. Amd meeting Arwen here, the audience falls in love with her, and from there it helps us understand Aragorn's later actions.

[@princeofdatny]

[@mmaphilosophytheologyscien4578]

Hellokittyrms16 I hope you didn’t touch yourself to her. That would be a sin.

[@rochey1010]

Yeah she's in the books.. She's there alongside her father Elrond at Rivendell and she serves as Aragorn's motivation and conviction to take the throne as Elrond won't give Aragorn his blessing otherwise but she's very 1D in the books cause Tolkien didn't conceive the character until late in the writing. 'The tale of Aragorn and Arwen' is in the 'return of the king' appendices(tales that flesh out characters further)

[@teniola9304]

3:21 How she was maneuvering them was totally slick. 👏🏿 👏🏿 👏🏿 father taught her well.

[@insaneapples1559]

So brilliant to write out Glorfindel and use Arwen instead. It gave so much more weight and value to her character in Fellowship unlike the book.

This was supposed to be Glorfindel not Arwen but Jackson wanted more female characters so he chose Arwen!

[@bertoletti8912]

in order to be more politically correct he could make Arwen a lesbian after a sex change surgery

[@dickhandler3993]

I think it was the right move. No offense to Glorfindel as a character but it seems like the last thing this film needed was another alpha male type of personality thrown into the mix. Arwen fits the movies well, particularly in this sequence, I mean when Frodo first sees her at 0:13, such a beautiful scene, especially within the context of the film up until that point.

[@mimim.2175]

Dick Handler Not to mention Glorfindel is literally like a God within himself, he's a messenger of the most powerful beings haha.

[@nightowl8936]

PJ made a good decision there, and botched a few others.

[@ARGhostie]

yes, it makes much more sense to use this scene to introduce an important, reoccurring character than a very cool, but utterly random character who doesn't really appear at all afterwards. It works in the book because books are always full of random things like that to make the story seem to come to life, but in a film every second is extremely valuable, and must be used very wisely.
