Earendil to Turgon? Definitely agreed about the later. I also felt it was a show of goodwill towards the Dwarves. It is not surprising that Elrond would not contest Gandalf just about anything, within reason. But it was more significant that he essentially gives his blessing to Thorin wielding a sword of his kin. And I do think there is much of the wisdom of being able to let go. As Frank Sinatra was quoted as saying upon giving a casual acquaintaince a pair of expensive cufflinks that they admired, "If you can't give it away, you don't own it. It owns you." ... maybe this fact was left out of the movie for copyright reasons? From what I understand PJ & Co. don't have the rights for the Silmarillion... From a more whimsical and purely speculative POV, perhaps at his age Elrond has learnt to let go of things, even if they are heirlooms of his family. And after all, he is giving Glamdring not just to anybody but to Gandalf. Who better to give it to? "Hear me, hounds of Sauron, Gandalf is here! Fly if you value your foul skins, I will shrivel you from tail to snout if you step within this circle!" "Do not be to eager to deal out death in judgement. Even the very wise cannot see all ends."

Yes, it's due to the copyright

An amendment. Elrond's relation to Turgon is not off limits to the filmakers, as it can be drawn from The Appendices.

There would also be, in Elrond the wise, a knowledge of Feanor, and of what being too attatched
