I just don't think the people making the movie had a clue what they were doing (the elves all used crossbows for pete's sake) or that that would cause any confusion (or outright laughter at their lack of understanding that that might cause some confusion). Of course I think you answered your own question when you said  they didn't go over that in the movie. It was probably put into Dragon magazine after the movie was finished and somebody with some actual D&D knowledge realized the mistake. All they had to do was call her a half elf instead of a elf in the movie and then there is no confusion, so why didn't they? Why did they have random blue and purple people running around in the movie? Did anyone on the set even research the topic before they set out to do a movie on it?</blockquote>
