I already said that Petter Jackson changed it so that the elves showed up, and thats why I said in the movie, the only issue that was given out leaving or staying, in the movie, was when Gladriel mentally messaged Elrond and asked him if it was right that they should leave. THe book and movie are very very different, characters are protrayed in a different way. In the book, Borimer's brother, once seeing the ring in Frodo's hand, lets him go... he never wishes it for himself at all.SO, unless you can show me page numbers in the book, where it says, a good amount, the amount that would signify that ELVES stayed, like hundreds or thoustands, of elves stay and fight in the remaining battles along side men from Helms Deep and on, then I say that they were leaving and just left the problems with men, and to me, it sounds like they dont care. This also includes the leaders, even if they stayed, if the vast majority are leaving, then the people as a whole, to which I'm talking about, dont care. And, I just thought it was funny, since in the book there was alot of mud-slinging between the different men of different countries about "well, you didn't come to my aid when we were attacked, so why should I come to yours." YOu never hear any man, soldier, or woman who's husband died say to legolas "where are your noble people, why have they left us like this" you never hear Gandalf, ask or get mad at Elrond for his people leaving....I mean, these are the ELVES, the SUPER HEROES of middle earth, the dwarves were usless, they were all dead or not involved at all in the story besides the small group that came to Elrond's meeting.thats all I'm saying.</blockquote>
