I really don't dare to comment too much on this film, because the richness of this work is really beyond the description of this short film review, so I will only use the image of a little mouse in the film. To summarize, please
correct me. The first appearance of Reepicheep should be traced back to the second part. He appeared as a heroic character, but just because he was a mouse, he did not get much attention from everyone. In the third part, it is a very eager to see Aslan and his kingdom (of course Aslan symbolizes the lion of Judas, Jesus Christ) and very optimistic, but it is not a rambunctious mouse, (it symbolizes those who are humble and confident Christian).
When Eustace came to the boat, there was a big conflict with Reepicheep, and the latter two (please allow me to say Reepicheep as a real person) were divided into the bunk and the bunk, which made Eustace hate him even more .Everyone ignored Eustace, alienated him, and even teased him because he was always complaining.
During the development of the story, we can also see that Eustace still doesn't believe in the existence of Narnia, and he has been satirizing his cousin in his diary And cousin. And he is still a very timid and dishonest person, which can be seen when he landed on the first island and used lies to trick everyone back to see it. We can see an unbeliever from this But a person with a true heart of Jesus would not give up such a person. Just like Reepicheep, he still had very optimistic expectations for Eustace. Even when Eustace turned into a dragon, Reepicheep still did not let him go. As a freak, I use my own experience to comfort Eustace, so that this dragon who is still crying late at night can be brave in the morning,
As Eustace himself said, it is actually good to be a dragon. Because everyone cared about him at that time, and Reepicheep's concern was the most real and powerful. When Eustace faced the dark place with fear in his heart, it was Reepicheep encouraged and comforted him in his ear, and in the end, Eustace helped everyone turn the corner at a critical juncture. But the fear in Edmund's heart still did not disappear, when the Lord thrust his sword into Eustace's body again, ( Eustace is still regarded as a freak by the Lord), the injured Eustace got the help of Aslan and changed back to human form, and at this time he was not timid, but bravely put the sword on the other six swords On top, Edmund is also finally able to overcome his fear and win.
At the end of the film, Eustace apologizes to everyone on the boat, and his heart is full of indebtedness. On the coast, Eustace bids farewell to Reepicheep, who is about to enter the country of Aslan, and he no longer Hate him, but asked "When can we meet again?" Tears of farewell and gratitude filled his eyes. At this time, Reepicheep comforted him with warm words, praising Eustace as a hero and his good friend
. When Reepicheep boarded the boat into the country of Aslan and went away, the tears in Eustace's eyes could no longer be controlled. I know that these are tears of moving and farewell, warmer than tears shed by deep grievance, and more painful than punishment. Tears are warmer. These are tears of gratitude.
In Narnia, just as an unbeliever confesses to Christ, he no longer complains, no longer timid, full of sincerity. He pushes the picture of his anger from the wall The painting of Narnia, which was torn from the top, was hung on the wall with sincerity. He smiled with relief when he dealt with his mother's complaint. One person changed it.
Throughout the story, the symbol can be seen The wonderful plan of Christ's Aslan is the same in Eustace, his change is God's arrangement and God's personal help, but Reepicheep's comfort and encouragement are really used by the Lord to help this complaining little brat get back to life. Feel the love of God.
As Aslan said at the end: "My kingdom is built for your noble hearts (plural), no matter how small you are"
I think that these many noble hearts must have compassion and sympathy and comfort. And Prince Caspian and Edmund said: "No one is more suitable (into the country of Aslan) than you."

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

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