Truthseeker, waiting until Aragorn was King to Marry Arwen - Elrond's daughter- isn't wrong (at least not in my eyes.) True, Aragorn was a grown man, Arwen was a grown elf, and together they had a Romeo & Juliet sort of love (note the "sort of" there.) Aragorn becoming King proved to Elrond that Aragorn had grown, had accepted his lineage (no longer feared the mistakes) and, in parallel, Elrond respected his daughters wishes. Happy ending.
I'm not LOTR's fan. I didn't like 1st 2 movies but The Return of the King was really good. Aragorn (
Viggo Mortensen), Arwen (Liv Tyler), Eowyn (Miranda Otto), Eomer (Karl Urban), Faramir (David Wenham) and Sam (Sean Astin) were my favorite characters, especially Aragorn and Arven.
...but I really hated Frodo. He considered as main hero but he looks stupid, weak and useless in this movie. He was nothing without Sam.
No, I do not find it weird that Arwen was already several hundred years old when she met Aragorn. Because her youth and beauty stayed the same all those years. She does not age, and therefore their love is so intense and she gives her life for him. Not exact Quote (but similar): '-'I would rather live one lifetime with you, than to live to see a hundred alone''. I can' remember the exact words. But great quote! Extraordinary tale!
They never really said goodbye. I mean, he had to leave her so many times before. They had loved each other for 68 years before they got married- but Elrond wouldn't let them get married until he was king (that was just wrong!).
@TruthseekerWVA give Elrond a break, he was concerned about the torment his daughter would be in once Aragorn died; as he did not know about her giving up her immortality until he feels her hands turning cold; and that wasn't until he was king.
This is a love story that should be up in the top with the likes of romeo&Julliet. Or is it? In my opinion it's the best - torn apart by a war that they both know he will never return from. He is torn because he loves her so much that he will let her go to stop her from giving up her immortality. While he has to deal with his destiny and pronanle death she is dying. She is forced to stay at home helpless, knowing that she can not save him and he may already be dead. I mean, do I need to go on?!
@butlerscookies No indeed, it's certainly not the best. Imo the story of Beren and Luthien is a lot better. Next to that, the love of Arwen and Aragorn is somewhat dramatized in the movie. Arwen doensn't actually play that big a role in the book. Also, I deem that the film is somewhat different than the film on behalf of the choice Arwen needs to make. According to the film Arwen's choices are Valinor and facing the death of Aragorn. In the book the choices are mortality and immortality.
@doritowarrior I agree with most of what you say; but I think that the choices Arwen faces in the book aren't just limited to mortality and immortality. The choices are deeper than that...more like a combination of movie and book. Mortality and leaving her kin and immortality and never seeing the love of her life. I think shrinking it down to Mortality/immortality is a stretch. I think Beren and Luthien win the best love story IMO...but by a thread. Aragorn and Arwen really tests the limits.
@chinghxd Well, I was wrong :) For Elrond says to Arwen: "The life of the Eldar is leaving you." Though the phrase is wrong, for Arwen is not actually part of the Eldar (she has never seen the light of Valinor), it does imply that Arwen was in fact becoming mortal. So, though the love story is a bit more dramatized as I said before, the lore is quite correct in the film. I then don't understand however why there is a scene with a young looking Arwen standing beside Aragorns grave...
@doritowarrior yeh the young Arwen/dead Aragorn scene has always confused me. I thought she would get old with him?....Like in the Appendix it said she died a year after Aragorn back at Lothlorien. So shouldn't she have aged? =S.
Two??? mmm I have ever known the number of their daughters... In the last part of The Lord Of The Rings (in Italian, we call them "Appendici"), Tolkien says that Arwen "kissed their daughters"... not the number!
I thought I'd read someplace they had two daughters. You're right though - the Professor doesn't give the exact number. He just says 'daughters' so we can safely assume there were more than one (obviously).
Obviously, there were more than one daughter... Mee too, I think that someone has told me that they had two daughters (probably in a forum ora something similar...): probably, the Professor says in it a letter or something similar!
IMHO, I think a better Enya song to use for a Aragorn/Arwen video would be "If I could be where you are." I always think of the lyrics as Aragorn's thoughts of Arwen after the Fellowship set out for Mordor.
Elessar is NOT his last name!!! That is telcontar. Elessar was his name he used when he was king because it means :Elfstone. He was raised by the elves, remember???!!! It was only his royal name. Telcontar is the name of his house. So is royal name is:Elessar Telcontar
Wow, i wish this .. this would be my real life.. but its just a fairytale... life sux
