The reason they have Arwen leaving for the Grey Havens is that originally it was planned for Arwen to sneak away and go to Helm's Deep, I believe. But they backed down from this idea and re-edited the film. In any case, I don't think it was motivated by that line from the book.<P>I liked the scene between Elrond and Arwen, especially the flashforward to Aragorn's death. But coupling that with the scenes between Aragron and Arwen, Aragorn and Elrond, and Galadriel and Elrond, seemed like too many flashforwards, flashbacks, and flashsideways in the middle of the film.
