Hmmmm………..I wonder why I didn’t notice this thread before…<P>My opinion is for Arwen’s role and not for Glorfindel.<BR>I don’t think Glorfindel was a necessity in the story (OK, maybe you guys won’t agree) and therefore PJ didn’t include him in the movie. <P>Mind you, LOTR is SO long that the movies would have gone on forever ----> if he’d included everything (not that I’d mind, I could watch LOTR forever!).<BR>Also, Arwen wasn’t described so vividly in the books so PJ probably wanted to express her more.
