So, I paid special attention to makeup when I watched it. Well, it's really good. Not only witches, but various other types of non-human creatures also perform well. If it is not made with CG, but with makeup, then it is really amazing. But that's all, I admit that I am not very sensitive to makeup.
As for computer stunts, if the final battle were held a few years ago, it should be very touching. As far as it looks now, it's a little too childish.
In the setting of the plot, the pros and cons are too absolute. One side is absolutely good, and the other is absolutely evil, which is not my favorite type. But the personality settings of the four children are quite characteristic and impressive.
But as far as this movie is concerned, what I like the most is actually her link between reality and magic. Ordinary magical stories are either completely abandoning reality, or in the magical world, they also have a large amount of preaching about reality.
However, in the Chronicles of Narnia, a lot of pen and ink was spent on describing the background of World War II, describing the four children's thoughts of their father who participated in the war, and describing the four children running around during the war.
On the surface, the only thing connecting Europe and the world of Narnia in World War II is a wardrobe, but in reality, the world of Narnia can be regarded as the four children’s imagination of war. The two forces are in this magical world. In the contest, four children were involved. But in this world, the real World War II, at least on the surface, is completely invisible.
If you look at it this way, then this story is a spiritual journey of the four children. They are thinking about war and peace in a fantasy world. But the author handled it very cleverly, neither deliberately avoiding conflicts in the real world, nor forcibly bringing the real world views of right and wrong into the real world.
I admire the author's attitude very much. So I think, although the standard of this film is only qualified, but her original novel should be very good.
In addition, as far as my senses are concerned, I like the half-sheep man very much. His relationship with the little girl resembles that of Little White Rabbit and Alice.
