the chronicles of narnia - the lion the witch and the
wardrobe
wonderful. for fans, if it's any indication, several
audience members clapped when the movie ended. it is
just as i remember the novel, one of my favorites
growing up (c.s. lewis showed me that reading could be
magical.) narnia has been portrayed beautifully. new
zealand is a perfect backdrop for narnia. it seems
the popular spot (lord of the rings). all of narnia's
creatures are magnificent and unique. i was most
taken by the rendering of aslan. he is beautiful,
better than i would have imagined. i wanted to reach
through the screen and touch his mane. (doesn't hurt
that liam neeson is aslan's voice) the white witch is
fiendish and wicked. they cast the actress well. (i
believe she played gabriel in 'constantine'.) the
young actors were a little weak in spots. i think the
boys are stronger than the girls in the acting
department, especially young edmond. do you have any
inkling of the characters i'm describing? i have
assumed you have read 'the chronicles of narnia'. if
not, take some time to read them or see the movies. i
have a feeling that they will continue the series.
sure it is fantastical, but it is fantasy fiction
after all.
may peace and imagination fill your hearts.
