Arwen and the One Ring - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

The idea that Arwen's fate is tied to the Ring does not come from the book; it is a concept that Peter Jackson put into the movie. Therefore I'm moving this thread to the Movies forum - perhaps people can give their opinions on Jackson's reason for including this idea.<P>(My very personal opinion - it's one of the most annoying parts of the RotK movie, confusing to those who haven't read the book and aggravating to those who have.)
