The first two movies (LWW and PC) are actually very similar in structure, the climax part is war, and then the war is won because of the letter to Aslan. This one is different. The original is a sailing adventure story. After passing through various islands, it finally reaches the other shore. To a certain extent, it can be said that there is no climax. But it would be strange if the movie had no climax in this way, so, of course, it was adapted.
When watching the trailer, I was very worried that another giant war would be created in the end. I was worried that it would not be able to break out of this routine. However, after watching the movie, I was very relieved-there is no "formal" war, what we have seen It is another form of adventure.
[Plot]
On the whole, it is not much different from the original. This is also one of the advantages of the Narnia film series.
But there is a setting in the movie that I have to complain about. I think that is simply a common sense error: In the movie, the magician Coriakin said (who said it?) that when the seven lords went to sea, they took one each with them. Only when the seven swords given by Aslan are placed on Aslan's table can evil be eliminated. So one of the clues of the story is to find and collect swords. But this is actually inconsistent with the original, or even contradictory. The seven lords went to sea during the time of Caspian IX. At that time, they did not believe in Aslan and even blocked all information related to the old Narnia. Aslan did not show up at that time.
The order of several small islands has also been adjusted, and the Dark Island has been put to the end. Therefore, it can be said that the climax occurred on the Dark Island, and everyone fought against the disgusting sea snake (the sea snake was thought of by Edmund, as the lord so and so trapped here said, that nightmares can be realized here). The Dark Island itself is a place of unlimited imagination. The movie expands the "darkness", and this is a source of evil, which is also logical.
In fact, the Dark Island is just a carrier and entity. The true darkness is hidden in everyone's heart. Everyone will be tempted and used. To escape the temptation, a firm belief is needed.
[Pictures and scenes]
The color of this picture is brighter, but I think it looks too bright (brightness and contrast are high), even if you wear 3D glasses that lower the brightness, it is still very bright .
But many scenes are very beautiful, the mysterious magician’s house, the beautiful sea of lilies (why does the Taiwanese version say "anemone" here?), the end of the magnificent world, of course, the credit of 3D is indispensable, I especially like Lucy to watch it. The scene of chanting a spell with a magic book to make the whole room snow flakes. By the way, that magic book is medieval and very gorgeous!
However, there are two scenes that I find very abrupt. One is when the map is shown for the magician Coriakin, the middle of the map is like a giant LED screen, which reminds me of the submarine TV of Xianjian 3 instantly; the second is the moment when the disgusting sea snake dies. Lightning Strike, reminds me of what Ultraman, what team defeated the giant monster...
[Character]
This aspect is very successful, very deep, and very natural. Everyone has their weaknesses and their own demons, that's why they are tempted by the "darkness".
Caspian and Edmund are both kings, and conflicts between power and psychology (the detail is, what Edmund ordered the captain to do, and the captain said that the ship obeyed Caspian's orders). There are also disputes that occurred on Dead Water Island (Golden Water Island, where water becomes gold).
Lucy is not always making mistakes like she used to, and she is not a "perfect person" either. She has grown up, and growth is always accompanied by worries and desires. She covets the beauty of her sister Susan, and has wanted to change her appearance according to the spells in the magic book. In the end, the darkness certainly did not succeed.
Eustace started as an unpleasant child. After the magical (...) adventure of becoming a dragon, he was influenced by the rat Reepicheep, and gradually grew and transformed into a normal person (= =...).
Needless to say, Reepicheep the mouse has always insisted on his beliefs. When Lucy asked him to truly believe that Aslan's kingdom is at the end of the world, he said that there is nothing but faith in us.
[Other details] The
movie added a little girl. Her mother was offered as a sacrifice to the darkness, and her father, as a sailor, actively asked Ying to join the Dawn Treader team to find his wife, and she secretly followed the ship. Family affection is indeed a very precious thing. When the family reunited, it was extremely touching.
When the daughter of the stars appeared, Caspian said, "You are too beautiful", and then she responded, "If my beauty distracts you, then I can change my appearance." Caspian and Edmund simultaneously appeared "No!" .
At the end of the movie, Eustace's mother called him downstairs, saying that his friend Jill Pole was coming, which probably hinted at the next "Silver Chair", Eustace and Jill will return to Narnia in "Silver Chair" .
There are also some shortcomings that Eustace's diary is not fully displayed in the movie, which is a big joke in the original book! In the end, Aslan appeared directly. In the original book, he was first transformed into a lamb. As we all know, the lamb is a symbol of Christ.
I almost forgot to say it, the ending animation is very nice! ! The 3D effect is great! ! I used the illustrations in the book with the ending song, so touching! !
[Profound meaning]
Like the previous two movies, this one also emphasizes "faith". The phrase Reepicheep said, "We have nothing but believe in us" also left a deep impression on me. It is true that we are in this duny world, and Satan will often seize our weaknesses to tempt us. As ordinary people, it is impossible to say that there are no weaknesses. But we must believe in God and rely on God’s power so that evil is also Will be wiped out. It's not going to be said in detail.
This movie has a lot of laughs, tears are not too few, and the subtitles provided in Hong Kong are very powerful (such as "silly line" and the like), so the journey is very exciting, FOX did not let us down. When it is released in China next year, feel it again!
