why don't people like arwen in the movie?

[Calavanya]

Don't get angry at me, I agree that Glorfindel shouldn't have been thrown out like that, but considering Arwen, I think Liv did her role OK. Anyway, I also agree with you who have mentioned the appendices. It really is explained there. Lot of things were unclear in my head before I've read those. Events that are happening as we read the book but aren't there. Where was she, and where was he, and what lead to this and that, bla, bla... Really, you should take that into account. Besides, who did PJ make the film for? Just for us, the loyal readers? I don't think so. He had to form something to attract more people... an elven maiden, beautiful and immortal! Makes people fill his bank account ... wether you like it or not, he's in entertainment business ....
