[@tinkin2908]

This is better than any car chase scene in every action movie.

[@copaceticetal]

Its funny seeing negative nancies in the comments complaining about this not being Glorfindel, like it was in the book when this was the scene that made me fall in love with The Lord of the Rings in the first place. Its sad, beautiful, terrifying and mythical. Just think of it from Frodo's perspective. All he wanted was just to do the right thing, but now evil is closing in on his friends from all sides. He's has been stabbed. He's been poisoned. He's dying. The end is near... But then an angel appears. She speaks a language he doesn't know. She tells him everything will be alright. There are so many scenes in this trilogy that make me cry without fail, and this was the first one. I would not have wept in the cinema as a kid, if this was some random male Elf. The fact that its the love of Aragorn's life who comes to help him and complete his mission is what *makes* this scene.

[@hindsightpov4218]

Glorfindel comes and goes quickly in the books. He barely makes an impression in the story. You can get away with a sweeping character like that on the page, but it would not translate on the screen. Even in the Ralph Bakshi animated film of Lord of the Rings, they replaced Glorfindel with Legolas in this scene. To have Arwen come to Frodo’s rescue and bring him to Rivendell, her home, to be healed by her father, Elrond, it made a lot more sense.

[@arwen2169]

Well, technically, frodo did know elvish, but everything else you're saying is totally true!

[@katherinewilson1853]

@@arwen2169 Was just about to write this!

[@sadece_bir_anonim]

For me glorfindel would be better. We see enough of Arwen already, I'd like to see Glorfindel. In the book, Glorfindel arrives and meanwhile Arwen is in Lothlorien. I think this is ridiculous, they only show her because she is Aragorn's lover. Likewise, they show less of Legolas' scenes just for this reason. So they skipped Legolas' scenes in Lothlorien and his conversation with Frodo. Still my best and favorite movie series

[@informationageenterprise2184]

Well said! I'm glad I'm not the only person who tears up from this scene. I don't know why exactly but it's so powerful

@@aaronc4899 When you're right, you're right.

[@moigonzaga]

In the books, it was Glorfindel the one who came in aid of Frodo, not Arwen. And since Frodo was able now to see the “unseen”, he saw the true form of Glorfindel, the had the Ligh of Valinor. But because Peter Jackson didn't add Glorfindel to the movies, he put some of the aspects of Glorfindel into Arwen (the light that Frodo can see) to build the relationship between Aragorn and Arwen. I'm still waiting on a movie or series in which we get a proper introduction to Glorfindel. Like when the Witch King flee once he saw Glorfindel, or watch him fight with a Balrog.

[@ITheIM7IOmegaI]

Arwen: *casually flirting with aragon off his guard* Frodo: *dying an agonising death* Just imagine aragorn being distracted by his wife and hes like "oh shit, forgot about frodo" 😂

[@jamesmorris4258]

One of the things I actually think Jackson did better than Tolkien (hate even saying that) is making Arwen and Aragorn have a developed story. He really brought her character to a new level.

[@yellowhazeproductions]

tolkien was from a different time he was progressive enough with eowyn.

[@agustinpo6436]

I agree with you. There is really a big problem in the books in terms of the development of the love story between Aragorn and Arwen. I read the book for the first time in 2000. When Aragorn got married with Arwen, I basically had no idea who Arwen was. Last year I downloaded a PDF copy of the books and found out that she is almost not mentioned after the Council of Elrond episode. When the movies were released, I was not happy to see Arwen carrying Frodo to Rivendel. However, Lyv Tyler did a perfect job. She is beautiful, feminine, wise and brave. She even spoke in Elvish to the fans a few times. She is the opposite to Morfydd Clark portrayal of Galadriel.

[@diollinebranderson6553]

​@@yellowhazeproductionsyou do know he wrote beren and luthian right? And that "from a different time" excuse is nothing but completely bs. People have been in love since the beginning of history. You think stories like helen and paris, snowhite, romeo and Juliet, etc... Were only created 30 years ago? Please

[@yellowhazeproductions]

@@diollinebranderson6553 I am talking about Eowyn in combat. Yeah I know Beren and Luthien she went to Morgoth's palace and put them to sleep with her voice but I was talking about being able to ride and wield a sword like men. Arwen in the movie was expanded to save Frodo and attempt to duel the Nazgul even though this never happened in the book because women were not expected to do such stuff As I said, Tolkien was from a different time and he was progressive enough with Eowyn.

[@biblemain8192]

In the books Sam is completely enamored by the elves and loved hearing stories about them from Bilbo. Bilbo also taught Frodo some elvish and I'm sure Sam picked it up from both Frodo and Bilbo in the Shire.

[@calebowen2006]

I think Arwen could've been used to fill in for Glorfindel in a sense in this movie but the fact they just gave all of Glorfindel's attributes to her bothers me. Like she shouldn't glow because she hasn't seen the light of the trees of Valinor like Glorfindel and Galadriel had

[@fancypants9388]

I thought she only glowed (to Frodo) because she appeared as the Nazgûl would see the elves? As exceptionally light beings?

[@electric_eclectic]

What is the song when Arwen appears?

[@tungstenkid2271]

It was decent of that Arwen bird to give Frodo a lift on her horse for the 225 miles from Weathertop to Rivendell. PS- The distances in Middle Earth were huge, which didn't come across in the film, no wonder it took Frodo and Sam 6 months to get from Hobbiton to Mt. Doom (about 1100 miles) mostly on foot.

[@DarkMatterZero]

Should Arwen be glowing like this in the unseen world? She was born in Middle Earth not Valanor so she shouldn't glow like Gilgolad did.

The reason the 9 are as powerful as they are, is because they are the bearers of the 9 rings gifted to men, they aren't regular wraiths. Their power is tied to the one ring.
