The movie is very good, and the story is well written. Even so, it’s not really my kind of movie, probably because I’m not really a fan of the “fantasy” genre.
The story is set to the 1900s during World war 1, all children are therefore forced to move to safer places in the mean time. The 4 main characters and siblings Peter, Lucy Susan and Edmund are put on a train with all the other children and sent to live with Professor Kirke. Already the first nigh while playing hide and seek, Lucy, the youngest, finds a closet to hide in. She goes further and further into the closet, and suddenly she steps into an entirely different world, Narnia.
Continuing throughout the story, all four siblings finds themselves in the magical world of Narnia. They are apparently the “chosen ones” and the entire country is counting on them to defeat the white witch and set them free from their misery. The movie has a happy ending and the children are crowned kings and queens of Narnia.
Although I don’t like the movie particularly well, I think the story is pretty good, and how Lewis has managed to create this magical land, and all the aspects to it. I also find it fascinating how the war near the end of the movie, has certain similarities with world war 1, going on back in the “real world” at the same time. I’m thinking about the battle strategies in particular, two storefronts war.
To sum it all up, I think I can say the movie is very well written, and filmed, just not my favorite pick.
That is honest enough! You write about the important parts of the movie and also the similarities to world war 1. C.S Lewis took part in the war as did Tolkien. They both wrote fictional novels with similarities to the war.
