" "The Lion, the Queen, and the Wardrobe" is one of the outstanding masterpiece "The Chronicles of the Kingdom of Narnia" series contributed by the famous British scholar and writer CS Louis as early as 50 years ago. Louis has another named JRR Tolkien’s best friend, he is the author of the long fantasy novel "Lord of the Rings" with tens of millions of followers in the world. Tolkien once proposed a "second world" theory in his works, that is, the first The first world is the world created by God, that is, the world in our daily life. And people do not satisfy the constraints of the first world, and use "fantasy" to create an imaginary second world. In this second world, everything is It is constructed with a visible "real" image. As Tolkien's colleague, Louis is an active supporter and follower of the "Second World" theory, so to speak, "The Chronicles of Narnia "Is a great practice of Louis’s theory of Tolkien’s "Second World". "The
above is a quote, from which you can get a general understanding of the story behind such a great work. I read this "The Chronicles of Narnia". After "The Lion, Queen, and the Wardrobe", my feeling is that although this work is not as majestic and epic as the "Lord of the Rings" series, it is second to none as a fairy tale work.
The film tells about the threat of air raids in London, England during the "World War II" period. The four siblings, Peter, Susan, Edmond, and Lucy, were arranged to temporarily live in the country house of an old professor Digoli Kok. There, the little sister Lucy found a peculiar magic cabinet, from there, it can lead to the fantasy country——- Narnia. So the four brothers and sisters came to Narnia. At that time, Jardith, the white witch who was immortal for thousands of years, turned Narnia into a perennially cold ice and snow. When the witch learned that four human children were visiting Narnia, she was determined to kill them all. The four children, led by the justice spiritual leader of Narnia, the lion Yaslan, took on the great task of saving the kingdom of Narnia, and finally awakened the ancient magic of the prehistoric period, and completely defeated the White Witch. The ice and snow of Narnia melted, restoring its former beauty and vitality.
Fairy tales are called fairy tales because the world in fairy tales originates from the real world and is a simplified version of reality, where childlike innocence is the only criterion for dominating the world, justice and evil are clearly distinguished, justice will inevitably defeat evil, and the ending is bright and beautiful. of. It can be said that the world in the eyes of children has its naive side, but it is even more lovely. The magical world of Narnia that we see is just like this. When the white witch representing the evil appears, the land is covered with ice and snow, which is terrifying. Monsters are everywhere, and kind creatures are hiding in Tibet. When the lion king representing justice appears, the ice and snow melt and the earth regains life. The four little protagonists will lead the righteous force to fight against the white witch. The child defeated the old wicked witch, who was extremely slippery and magical. These are simply too naive in the eyes of adults, but this is a fairy tale, which of us did not dream of becoming a super hero when we were children, although it is not necessarily to rescue all kinds of strange creatures. The charm of fairy tales lies in the ability to accommodate and inspire a child’s fantasy and curiosity, encourage him to develop fantasy, help him understand good and evil, give him courage, and take him on a journey of life adventure.
I remember that when I was in elementary school, I bought a thick copy of "The Grimm's Fairy Tales", which was not only full of text but also many traditional characters. It stands to reason that this kind of thing should not arouse the interest of an 8 or 9-year-old child, but it is fascinating. I read and read the stories of, and other classmates also love to read them. The books have been refurbished, which shows how attractive fairy tales are for children. When it is more critical, read them from interesting stories. The truth is many times stronger than rigid preaching. On the other hand, in our country’s own children’s literature, the stories are outdated, mostly from familiar myths and novels, and there are more than wonderful preachings, and the educational significance cannot be properly integrated into the story. And most of them appear in the form of cartoons, the content is too low and young, so that children with a little thinking do not like to watch it, let alone attract adults, and there are almost no film and television works.
And foreign fairy tales or science fiction works are increasingly pursuing a diversified audience group, with wonderful content, huge momentum, exquisite pictures, delicate depictions, etc., and there are many expressions of family affection and humanistic care. It is suitable for all ages and everyone likes to watch it. In the plot of empathy and personal experience, children naturally accept the valuable elements of life outlook such as love, wisdom, courage, tolerance, etc., which is illuminated by the success of heroes in fairy tales. One by one, children’s hearts are filled with sunshine, and they feel innocent and warm. As adults, they can also be enlightened, and they can get courage and strength. Although it is the most primitive, it is the most direct.
