6:21 PM Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian - The Movie |
I just watched "Prince Caspian: The Movie” and I felt like
writing hundreds of words about it. First off, the content was about ½ different from the
book. They changed it so drastically for whatever reason that I am REALLY eager
to know. I LOVE the book that’s why I couldn’t understand why they had to
change what’s already a masterpiece. But then again, I’m not saying that it’s bad. For
those who have not read the book… you could say it’s almost perfect! I’m just
being the critical me when it comes to my favorite things. The actors and actresses were great! I love Lucy,
Edmund, Susan and Peter even more than I did on "The Lion, The Witch and the
Wardrobe.” Although, I must say that the choice of Caspian was a little bit
older than I saw him in the book. I think Reepicheep is cute as well… (Even if he uses his sword to anyone who
thinks so—) The change in the flow of the story was quite
surprising. I was irritated that they made Peter such a jerk. (Well he was a little in the original story but he made him a big
time jerk in this one!) I
love that they retained the part where Edmund stick with Lucy (when she said that she saw Aslan) but I
hope that they somehow retained the part where King Peter wrote a duel
invitation to Miraz saying:
Peter, by the gift of Aslan, by election, by
prescription, and by conquest, High King over all Kings of Narnia, Emperor of
Lone Islands and Lord of Cair Paravel, Knight of the Most Noble Order of the
Lion, to Miraz, Son of Caspian the Eighth, sometime Lord Protector of Narnia,
and now styling himself King of Narnia, Greeting. That’s my favorite quote from the book (I love the sarcasm!) and they didn’t
include the whole part of it. But what I didn’t see coming was the romance
between Caspian and Susan! They were supposed to be kids for crying out loud!!!
A crush would be fine but a kiss???!!! I’m not saying that I hate it. It did make
me giggle, and I think they did it to make the story lighter. But still, in the
book, they hardly even talked to each other! And Caspian will have HIS girl on
"The Voyage of the Dawn Treader” (but then that’s another story). One more thing: Peter and Caspian never really fought
like they did in the movie. Caspian looked up to Peter as the High King of the
Ancient Times… again, they probably changed it to make a twist but I think that
it’s completely unnecessary. It just made them both look too childish to be
kings! As expected, the effects were great. I love the war
scenes. I also give lots of credit that they included the part where the trees
and the sea guardian (or whatever
it is) fought alongside the other Narnians. (They didn’t do that in the Classic Chronicles of Narnia Series…) The ending was sooooo sad— probably because I will not
see Susan and Peter again in the next movie (If there is)
but then again we can’t be so sure. They showed the White Witch in this movie
even if she didn’t showed up in the book so there’s still hope to see those two
again. Can’t wait to see the next adaptation! ^_^ I hope we could see their adventures in the sea— and finally meet the Pevensies’ irritating cousin Eustace Scrubb. |
