Any Narnia Fans?

[Kehaar]

I can't wait for that movie, a bunch of us here at my college are already planning on going to see it. Does anyone know if there's a website or anything for it?

I think you may be right about Susan, I had much the same thought. I tried to think of the the group in comparrison to the parable, but it didn't quite work.
I can see Lucy as the fertile soil, of coarse, because she never doubted for a moment that Narnia was real. Edmund would be the hardedened soil do you think? Because he knew about Narnia too but denied it because of worldly pressures. That leaves the rocky soil and Peter, and I don't quite see it. Peter was pretty stout once he knew what was before him. He never really denied Narnia.
I'm going to pull out LWW one more time before the movie comes out and refresh my memory.

Yes, but Edmund changed. The seed wasn't snatched away. It was still there eating away at him and making him feel extraordinarily guilty. Perhaps the 4 Pevensie children are not meant to be viewed as 4 grounds, which might've been meant to represent those to whom the word had not yet come. Perhaps the Pevensies are supposed to represent the 4 stages of Christianity, or the 4 types of Christians there can be? I say that because in LWW when Mr. Beaver asks them if they are the sons of Adam and the daughters of Eve, Peter replies "We're some of them" possibly implying they had SOME kind of Christian upbringing. So maybe the older Pevensies were already Christians before coming to Narnia. For example perhaps Peter represents the Warrior Christian, the one who takes a stance against evil. Susan might be the Kind Christian, the one who wishes to help everyone. Someone who really practices "If your enemy is thirsty give him something to drink..." Lucy could be the young Christian, the one who loves Jesus so much that when she makes a mistake it tears her to peices, but she gets right back up again. Edmund of course is every Christian that has walked the face of this planet...the Repentant Christian. Lewis knows...I certainly don't.
Slainte!

Big Narnia fan here!

Overall, The Last Battle is my favorite of the books, namely for its ending. But then again, all the books are awesome in their own ways.

That does make quite a bit more sense. It fits in with Susan too, it is at that middle stage where a Christian is self confident enough to slip away from God. Also it is the backstepping Christian that is most likely to be lft behind like Susan was.

Idk either, maybe were both reading into it too deeply, and CS Lewis was just trying to make interesting characters. lol!

Sorry for the late reply, I haven't been on the comp for a week or two now.

I love those books. I have all of them. They are so exciting!

 

[Lycana]

CAN'T wait for the movie! Almost here!

CAN'T wait for the movie! Almost here!

When is it due in the cinemas?

When is it due in the cinemas?

December 9th I believe, at least thats what the trailers say.

 

[Lycana]

YES! And I also want to see King Kong, which is due out in December.

 

[Freakconformist]

YES! And I also want to see King Kong, which is due out in December.

My mom just groaned when she saw that preview. It looks awsome, but you should understand there have been at least three King Kong movies last century. There seems to be another one popping up every generation or so, lol!

This is traditionally a time for big blockbusters to come out. I'm actually tempted to go see HP: The Goblet of Fire.

 

[Lycana]

Yes, I'd like to see that one too.

 

[Lovesonsofthundet]

Haven't read the books but I really like the movies.

 

[deanerenata32]

I have seen the movie by Walden Media, but I've never read the books. My favorite character is Aslan.

 

[DragonFox91]

Yes! I read the books & have seen the movies. My favorite books (Magician’s Nephew, Horse & His Boy, Last Battle) they haven’t adapted yet. I’d love to see them on the big screen someday.

Just checking to see if there are any Narnia fans. Have you read the books? What is your favorite book or part?

that "The Chronicles of Narnia" is a well-known series of fantasy novels by C.S. Lewis. The series consists of seven books, and they have been enjoyed by readers of all ages for decades. Each book in the series tells a different story set in the magical world of Narnia, filled with talking animals, mythical creatures, and epic battles between good and evil.

Some readers may have a favorite book or part of the series, but others enjoy the entire series equally. It ultimately depends on personal taste and individual experiences with the books.

I really liked the books, read them when I was a kid and pre-teen. I saw the old BBC movies, and I really like the newer Disney movies. My favorite is the first one, the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. I am trying to write Christian fantasy myself, I have such a creative, adventuring mind. need to finish those stories I started.

I watched the movies and enjoyed them. I do like CS Lewis in general, especially The Great Divorce which served as inspiration for my book. I wish that work of his were made into a movie too.

Well recently I did read through the first three because of the movies but I guess I haven't read the others yet because I need a reason too... But I love all of CS Lewis' works though. I do want to point out that the movies left out SO much. Like Dragon Island being a barren island on the movies vs. lush in the books, among other things. I love the series in general and I'm sure I'll get to reading the others in the near future.
