I had assumed that, too, and was a bit confused why everyone was complaining like they gave Arwen's life actual magic ties to the ring. I think people just took Elrond too literally.

... probably because that's a very reasonable interpretation for what Elrond says and what the movie shows? I mean, in ROTK this happens:

* Aragorn has a dream/vision of a very pale, barely moving Arwen lying on a bed of dead leaves, a tear running down her cheek and saying, "I wish I could've seen him one last time". The evenstar pendant falls and shatters on the ground. This is not subtle. Not even a tiny bit.

* Elrond shows up and says:

I come on behalf of one whom I love. Arwen is dying. She will not long survive the evil that now spreads from Mordor. The light of the Evenstar is failing. As Sauron’s power grows her strength wanes. Arwen’s life is now tied to the fate of the Ring. The Shadow is upon us Aragorn. The end has come.


The reason people complain that the film gave Arwen's life actual magical ties to the One Ring is because that's exactly what the film did.
