Why was Arwen given the credit of saving Frodo in the movie?
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring portrays Arwen, daughter of Elrond, saving Frodo from the Riders and summoning the flood-waters. However the book says (which I am currently reading) that it was Glorfindel's horse, Asfaloth, who bore away Frodo and outran the Riders/Ringwraiths. Also the flood-waters of Bruinen were released by Elrond and had a touch of "magic" by Gandalf himself (the waters taking the shapes of riders on their white foam horses).

Why did Arwen help Frodo?
Arwen arrives at Minas Tirith, and they are married. She gives Frodo the Evenstar: her necklace with a white stone, to aid him when his injuries trouble him. Arwen serves as inspiration and motivation for Aragorn, who must become King of both Arnor and Gondor before Elrond will allow her to marry him.Did Arwen sacrifice her Frodo immortality?
At this point Arwen has already given up her immortality, but now she grants the grace of the Eldar to Frodo, not giving him immortality since he is not one of the elves, but instead granting him a home in the undying lands when he does pass.Who did Arwen replace in the movies?
Of all the changes that were made in the film adaptation, removing Glorfindel is the only one that we know Tolkien would have supported, because he acknowledged Glorfindel should never have been there in the first place.Why is the Lord of the Rings movie so different from the book?
The movies do not follow Tolkien's timeline of events. This was most likely done to move the plot along faster. The biggest indicator of this change is Frodo's age during The Fellowship of the Ring. Frodo is considerably younger in the film than the book.Why Arwen REPLACED Glorfindel | Middle-earth Explained
