Bi and me went to watch Prince Caspian last night.
The movie itself doesn't feel as magical as the first movie. The tress doesn't sing anymore. All in all, its quite depressing. I appreciate the dry humour by DLF (Dear Little Friend) and the mouse, of course.
I was quite surprised that there are quite a few Malays there. Coz it's well known that the Chronicles of Narnia written by C.S.Lewis is quite biblical. One of my friend just told me that Aslan is actually Jesus. It's his name and that Jesus is also known as the Lion of Judas. I believe what my friend had told me as he is a devout Christian. (I don't know all these as I am still a Buddhist)
Bi asked me last night after the movie, why don't Aslan come out and help them in the first place? So I told him "If you don't believe in him, how does he help you?"
And the scene about the face of the water (when there was a big tidal of wave rushing towards all those telemarines)....... there's just no surprise there. Its easy to see whose face that was based on. Am I the only one who notice the resemblance? Or am I just dreaming?
Anyway, The Chronicles of Narnia is a great read. All 6 of them. It teaches you things if you just read between the lines. Faith. Hope. Believe. I believe that good things will come if you just have faith and hope.
Anyone read the book by Philip Pullman (at least I think its spelled this way). He likes to antagonize C.S.Lewis. I have also read his books. You might remember his first movie-book adaptation, The Golden Compass. You can see the differences in the 2 straight away. In Golden Compass, people have daemons (pronounced as demons), which is a reflection of themselves. Simple observation but it says a lot about the writings of both authour.
If I have the time, I'll dig out all the Chronicles of Narnia and re-read them. Its been about a year since I last read them and my recollections are not that strong anymore.
