Yes, no-one is disputing that Aragorn was in exile. But in Peter Jackson's Lotr, he has "chosen" exile. This isn't just Elrond saying it - it is one of the major themes in the film, and emphasised further in the extended edition. <BR> The Peter Jackson Aragorn is reluctant to accept who he is, and it is only Boromir's death that finally makes him agree to go to Gondor and claim his heritage. Tolkien's Aragorn unequivocally announced his rights as Isildur's heir at the Council of Elrond.
