The Chronicles of Narnia

I watched The Chronicles of Narnia, which was adapted from a fairy tale I read when I was a child.

I am the most superficial audience, so I like a movie because its actors are good-looking or the story is tense and the plot twists.

But when I watched it this time, I was drawn to the war.

I know the kids must have gone to war in the end, but like Susan said, mom sent them there to keep them out of the war, so why did they go to war?

Later I understood that the two wars are not the same.

One is for greed and ambition, one is for faith and hope; one is for aggression and contention, and the other is for rescue and defense.

This is war.

A meaningful war is not about sacrificing people's lives for the ambitions of high-level figures, but it is led by high-level figures for the freedom of the people.

This is Aslan, this is Mao Zedong (forgive me for mentioning political figures again, I just finished writing a report on social practice in Yan'an, and I am still in the atmosphere of patriotic education, haha~~).

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe quotes

  • Mr. Tumnus, the Faun: [to Lucy, speaking of Aslan] After all, he is not a tame lion.

  • Jadis The White Witch: You have a traitor in your midst, Aslan.

    Aslan: His offense was not against you.

    Jadis The White Witch: Have you forgotten the laws upon which Narnia has been built?

    Aslan: [almost a roar] Do not cite the Deep Magic to me, Witch. I was there when it was written.

    Jadis The White Witch: Then you'll remember well that every traitor belongs to me. His blood is my property

    Peter Pevensie: [pulls out his sword] Try and take him then.

    Jadis The White Witch: Do you really think that mere force will deny me my right little king? Aslan knows that in this, I had blood as the law demands. All of Narnia will be overturned and perish in fire and water. That boy will die on the stone table... as is tradition. You dare not to refuse me.

    Aslan: Enough. I shall talk with you alone.
