“Arwen is a vital part of Aragorn’s story, and we tried many permutations of how to bring her into it more, drawing a lot on Luthien and Beren [the Elf and mortal man whose tragic love is a prototype for that of Aragorn and Arwen]. But as the story’s come on, and Liv has so beautifully inhabited Arwen, she has found her own level.”
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) dir. Peter Jackson
