NARNIANS LOST THEIR ‘FAITH’ IN ASLAN.

Narnians like Trumpkin and Nikabrik and many others denied their FAITH ON ASLAN.

BUT LUCY AS A TRUE DEVOTEE IN THE END RISKED HER LIFE TO FIND ASLAN THROUGH HER FAITH AND IN THE END HER FAITH PAID FAITHFULLY WELL.

@ Luke:
Just adding my two cents here. I, for one, have absolutely no objection to Enya’s “May It Be” being in, “The Fellowship Of The Ring”. Incidentally, I have since added that song to my iPod, and it’s been there ever since. However, please consider that the only place that the song could’ve been included was at the end. It wouldn’t have fit in anywhere else.

There are of course, drawbacks. Consider “A Knight’s Tale”. Although the movie was set in medieval times, pop music was in full swing at several points in the film. The change was so jarring that I almost left the theater.

Another blatant example: Scorcese’s “Gangs of New York”, supposedly a period piece set in the 19th Century. Lo and behold, during the film, I found myself suddenly listening to rock music… Disorienting, to say the least.

In short, I have no qualms about a director using a song to fit within the contexts of a scene. But then again, having not seen “Prince Caspian”, I have no idea as to what song was used and what context in which it was used. So, I shall reserve judgment for this particular instance.

Mahalo,

Are you all this vehemently opposed to Enya’s “May It Be” (used in The Fellowship of the Ring)as well?

“Religious” is such a squishy word…it’s hard to objectively say something is “religious” and something isn’t. What’s compelling to me about this one is how closely it hews to the actual state of reality (despite its fantastical trappings) – whether Jesus is real or not, he’s not obviously present in the world now, and conquest, genocide, and all manner of evils continue unabated. You might not care for the answer Lewis (and/or Adamson) has come up with here, but you can’t deny the relevance of the question.

And lay off the Spekster. She’s cool.

I loved the first one but this one just annoyed me. I found it to be more shallow, more action-centric, and weakly written. The Regina Spektor song that ends the film made it worse.

But I found it impossible to root for Aslan when he abandons his people to be conquered and slaughtered into near extinction. He had the power to save them, but came up with lame excuses as to why he didn’t. When you make the rules, you don’t have to abide by them.

(I’m pretty sure that question was part of a book report I had to write in third grade…)

But for some odd reason, I really enjoyed myself.

As for the family dynamic – again, I agree, but it seems somewhat appropriate since this film has stronger themes of “growing up” than the first.

Anyway, I’m definitely looking forward to the next film, as it’s one of the best books in the series and Michael Apted is directing.
