Back to the topic of Narnia, unfortunately, the Chinese translation of this book should be passed on. The glorious tradition of Yilin's "The Hobbit" is a fairy tale tingling language. Interestingly, unlike the Harry Potter series, the protagonist is undoubtedly the title of the book. The protagonist of the story in Narnia seems to always change. The first part is the four siblings, and then their cousins, even the young and old professors. Became the protagonist. The magic wardrobe is not the only entrance to Narnia. Its magic comes from an apple, which is mentioned in the next few parts. The clues of the story seem to be messy, but after reading all of them, you will find that they are inter-connected, and the logic is still quite strict.
The point is that the story actually contains a lot of philosophical thinking from the author. For example, the ending that impressed me the most. Aslan said, we must go deeper and higher, because we live in the illusory shadow realm for a long time, and the deeper and higher are the more real and more real. good. Narnia is destroyed, there will be a bigger and better Narnia. Here, Aslan is God, he is all-knowing and all-good. He tells us that everything has an end, we will all die, and death is to go deeper and higher. Heaven is the real world, because the world you came from is the shadow of heaven and it is illusory. Therefore, there is nothing more beautiful than death, and all destruction is for a more beautiful beginning. In this way, Lewis successfully used religion to resolve the meaningless tragedy of life, which may also be the answer he found in his long and circuitous beliefs. As long as you believe, there will be an ending like Narnia.
What I said above is all about the novel itself. I think the film is basically in line with the original expression, and the pictures are also pretty good. We can't just think that the beauty of the picture is ruined just because the children are not cute enough? Can't she be thrown into the pile of brainless big production "epic" just because of the huge investment in this film, right? Can't you characterize this film as a kindergarten education film just because the protagonist is a child? Even if this film is really just a pure children's film, it does not conflict with the standards of a good film. Any adult who dare to say that he has never experienced childhood, all of them grew up in diapers and pacifiers. The coldness of reality makes us abandon too many beautiful illusions that we had in childhood when we grow up. It does not mean that we have to give up the right to illusions. The distinction between good and evil is not the exclusive domain of the fairy tale world. We also need to keep a piece of Narnia in our hearts. Otherwise, it is our cruelty that makes this world cruel.
