Thoughts on "The Chronicles of Narnia 3"

Stephania 2021-11-28 08:01:17

To be honest, I prefer to watch the Chronicles of Narnia series than the Harry Potter series.

The reason is simple. I like to watch movies that make my soul rewarding, rather than being shocked by a large variety of special effects that only make my eyes rewarding.

For me, what impresses me the most in every movie are some aphorisms, which are also the most lacking in the Chronicles of Narnia, such as:

"You are nothing if you don't believe"
this sentence is that The little mouse Reepicheep made a statement. My first reaction was to take out the paper in my bag and write down this sentence-if I had no confidence, I would really be nothing.

"Defeat the darkness outside? Defeat the darkness inside first!"
This sentence is a parting message from the magician. Yes, the story of Dragon Quest is easy, but the problem we really face is often not external, but ourselves-it is easy to defeat the visible large snake, and it is difficult to defeat the invisible smoke, and the most difficult The opponent to defeat is our inner desire. Whether it is Lucy's desire for beauty, Edmond and Caspian's desire for power, Eustace's desire for money, or the various desires faced by the seven lords, it is our heart. The greatest enemy in the depths.

"Extraordinary people have extraordinary mission...I will stay with you"
that annoying little boy can actually be imagined as every annoying person around us. He will only complain, who believes he will be an Extraordinary people? However, Reepicheep trained him when everyone else spurned him, helped him when he was cursed by Jackie Chan because of greed, said "I will stay with you" when he was crying, and encouraged him when he was facing difficulties and fear. Who can do it?

"When you choose to become others, you will lose yourself."
I was most impressed by this sentence, which was what Lucy said to the little sister who admired her after facing herself squarely. Everyone is unique and important, and belief in this should be the core of each of us to survive.

"I focus too much on what I lost, not what I have."
This sentence was said by Prince Caspian at the end-it is also something I often find when I look back. Of course, the best place to write a summary every year is also here. This is a good time to be grateful.

(The following part is spoiler)

The adult Susan and Peter in "The Chronicles of Narnia 3" were not recalled to Narnia, and Edmund and Lucy, who were about to turn 18 years old, were also told by Aslan He came to Narnia for the last time in his lifetime, and then the protagonist of several series became their immature cousin, Eusta. Just as Jesus said many times in the "Bible": Unless you return to the likeness of children, you must never enter the kingdom of God. Narnia is a children's exclusive world, and only pure innocence can obtain simple happiness.

In addition to delighting children, The Chronicles of Narnia also has a sacred mission to preach the gospel. Many Chinese audiences don't understand that CS Lewis is a devout Christian. He wrote many Christian gospel works during his teaching at Oxford University, the most famous of which is this set of "The Chronicles of Narnia". Lewis's purpose in writing "The Chronicles of Narnia" is to spread the spirit of Christ through the fantasy stories that children are most interested in, and to help children understand the essence of the "Bible" easily and happily. Lewis said that the lion king Aslan is the symbol of Jesus, while the white queen represents Satan, and the four siblings of Lucy represent the descendants of Adam and Eve: human beings.

In "The Chronicles of Narnia 1", Aslan sacrificed to save Edmund who had betrayed his brother and sister and then resurrected. In fact, it symbolized that Jesus was crucified on the cross for the atonement of mankind, and then resurrected and ascended to heaven as the Savior of mankind. "The Chronicles of Narnia 3" conveys an important concept of Christianity—growth in adversity and temptation.

The so-called temptation in Christianity is the temptation of the devil Satan, and Satan will set up different traps for each person's desires. For example, Lucy encountered the temptation of beauty and tried to use the magic book to get her sister's appearance; Edmund encountered the temptation of power and competed with Prince Caspian to be the boss; the new cousin Eustache was caught by money Tempted and cursed to become a fire dragon. However, all tribulations hide God's goodwill. All members of the Dawn Treader have learned important qualities such as confidence, hope, love, patience, courage, and repentance during the ordeal, and have completed their transformation in the process. The biggest change was Eusta, who went from a selfish nuisance to a heroic and dedicated warrior. At the end of the film, Aslan tells the children that they were brought to Narnia so that they could get to know him better in their own world.

    The story lacks a sense of ups and downs, and is not attractive enough to enter the scene. Some scenes are not bad. I don't know what it is expressing as a whole. It is a very ordinary film that I watched muddledly.

    Tavros: Uh, why are you talking to that bird?

    Eustace Clarence Scrubb: Uh, I just naturally assumed that you can...

    Tavros: [busts out laughing] He's talking to birds!

    Telmarine Sailor: He's mad as a loon, that one!
