Hard and fast rule?

Hard and fast rule?

In Le Seigneur des Anneaux , Galadriel says « Et l'Anneau de pouvoir a eu sa volonté propre ». From the context it is exceedingly clear that she means “ And the Ring of Power had its own will.”


Was this a bad translation pour the French version of the film, or can one use propre in this way if the context is clear?
