Lord of the Rings Movies

Since the Book can contain a much larger time frame than a film, certain parts of the book were changed in order to fit it all in the three films.

Some changes were made to the characters of Aragorn and Frodo. Changes were also made to certain events like the participation of elves in the Battle. There were also some parts of the Book that were deleted like the chapter of the Scouring of the Shire and some were added.

The film only followed the basic plot of the book while diverging from the characterization of the main characters.
