[@Snagprophet]

The thing is in terms of casting and visual story telling it wouldn't have been a good decision to cast a Glorfindel actor and then have him not show up for the rest of the films, whereas having Arwin do it gives more screentime to her and Aragorn and makes the audience care about her instead of being some random person Aragorn marries. The books also have appendices which delves into their relationship that isn't shown in the main story of the book, the movies couldn't do this. I wonder what Tolkien would've thought about this change. I think the worst change was having elves at Helm's Deep. One issue is they all just happen to die so they don't show up in Return of the King. They were also going to have Arwin there but then what? She can't die so does she join Aragorn in the Paths of the Dead and Pelanor Fields? If not why not if she was at Helm's Deep? They were writing themselves into a hole that is normally solved by "just kill Haldir and the elves". Also I do find it weird that not a single elf survives Helm's Deep and subsequently joins them for Return of the King.

@@mossripalextechno6450 It's one of the changes PJ made that I absolutely 100% agree with. Glorfindel may be an important part of the Simarillion and of the story of the elves of Middle Earth but he has nothing to do with the story of the destruction of the One Ring apart from rescuing Frodo here and attending the Council of Elrond. Arwen has a personal connection to one of main protagonists of the story as well as an important supporting character. It made sense to put her in Glorfindel's place here.

It's the difference on whether you want to approach LOTR as a fantasy tale or as a mythological endeavour. As a tale, Arwen's inclusion is pretty good, putting it in stride with other stiries for contemporary audiences. As a Mythological endeavour, the replacement of Glorfindel is criminal, as it connects the story with the greater mythology, and signifies the active support (and involvement) of the Valar in the ring's destruction. Since PJs movies are clearly fantasy tales, she fits quite well.

One the greatest movies ever made

Wishing I knew or could remember from my life a strong woman like Arwen. Very strong scene. Thanks.

[@ameliaflynnhayes]

This was one of my favourite scenes she is so powerful

Lord of the rings :Take me to Vatican!

Its a piece of a story, when elves were beautiful and majestic

[@Erufailon42]

Fun fact: Liv Tylor actually improvised the whole river magic spell. The fear you can see in the faces of the Nazgul is genuine fear from the actors who were not at all prepared for the floodwaters. PJ decided to leave it in because he was so impressed!

Tired meme/joke

[@klarahoffman159]

Come on!

[@blockmasterscott]

This is true. The only touch that PJ added in was the water horses in the rapids, the actual spell was genuine. 👍

Yeah ok, that's a bunch of lies, you're a fking troll.

[@JiisTube]

If you can see the ringwraith's faces then I've got some bad news for ya 😅

[@iury664]

the best time for cinema was that

[@dgdave2673]

Can’t imagine anyone other than Liv Tyler as Arwen’s face! The best she has done.

[@elektrik_exekutioner6822]

Has she even done anything else?
