Narnia: True To Fans

Ha! I'm the first to blog about the Chronicles of Narnia movie! (Warning: if you have not seen the movie, I wouldn't proceed further into the blog).
WOW!
This movie was amazing! It stayed true to the novels and Narnia fans everywhere can surely agree that the movie was touching, and gave you the same spine-tingling shivers you experience when reading C.S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia. The same magical feeling you get is there when you watch the movie as well. The actors and actresses picked were absolutely perfect and their characters were well developed. This was definitely not a low-grade film like the original Narnia movie. The special effects in the new one was amazing and realistic looking. Not one part of the movie disappointed me in the least.
Aslan was brilliant! So powerful and kind. It was amazing. Mr. Tumnus was a sad looking fellow who made me feel sad a lot, but his character was perfect. I LOVED Lucy, who depicted well all the qualities of a child, the imagination and the innocence that led her to be the first to experience a land that nobody else believed in. Yet she still had the qualities of a queen; bravery, nobility, and a sense of leadership. In some senses, she acted in a more mature fashion than her brothers and sister.
My favourite part, (or one of them) was when Edmund was having his chat with Aslan. You see the sky behind them and from a distance, all you see is Aslan on a rock, facing Edmund, talking to him and Edmund's face is down, and his hands are shoved in his pockets. But it's so perfect, because it is the start to Edmund's transformation. Similar to how Christ can change us.
The end of the movie was one that only readers of the Chronicles would understand. Anyone who hasn't read the book would have no understanding what the apple represented or how it's in any way connected.
Brilliant movie!
