"3. Arwen being tied to the ring...since when?"<P>Since she is now mortal and cannot take the ships to Valinor. Hence she is bound to the fate of the Ring like all mortals are.

If the scene was intended as a comparison to Isildur then it si a brilliant scene regardless if it is in the book or not. If it wasn't intended that way then it is a brilliant mistake.
