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

Ultimately the book was fantastic but the movie wasn’t as far as good in my personal opinion. It was one of the best books I’ve had ever read. At first it goes slow but as you get to know the characters and the plot you get addicted to the book and can’t stop reading in a good

When I went to go see The Lion King on Broadway a few words came to mind after the play; amazing, stunning, and unbelievable! I was a little unsure at first, because I thought I was too young to see something from a Disney World production. I was also wondering how Disney was going to manage putting a film starring non-human characters, into a three-dimensional stage. However, using all their “Disney magic” with a little help from a great stage producer The Lion King Musical kept my attention all the way through with their; voice and diction, staging, and many other elements.

For years there has been mass controversy over C.S Lewis's book The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Not only over if the book is a Christian allegory or not, but also over how well the movie captures the book. The book has a very powerful and meaningful message, from the four Pevensie children's triumph over an evil force, the White Witch, to restore peace in Narnia, to all of the adventures in between, but just how well does the movie capture the book (Bell 12)?

The 3 major differences that were seen are the shattering of the conch, the pilot’s presence, and Ralph’s attitude towards Piggy. Due to these major differences the novel left a greater impact on its readers than the movie on its viewers. Seeing the movie and as well reading the book, personally the book was a better. The book has a very different approach of that showed these 3 major differences to their full extent. Out of the two though, I would choose the book as more pleasant and

The four children enter Narnia and free it from the spell that the white witch has cast upon it and in the process they become kings and queens of Narnia. There are several differences in the movie that are not present in the book, but they are very minor and do not change the story. For instance, when the white

In C.S. Lewis’s The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, Lewis emphasizes the three points of philosophy, themes, and symbolism throughout his writing. Lewis was a strong Christian man, and wanted to make children see and understand all the stories of the Bible. Therefore, he put Christian elements through his books, but with fantasy characters as well. Especially in this story, Lewis conveys the differences between good and evil. Aslan is represented as Christ just as the White Witch represents the sense of evil. Lewis wrote several books in this Narnia series, but The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe became the most famous and recognized of his novels.

Finally there are lots of differences between the book and the movie. They also show that the movie was a lot weaker then then the book. I can see the movies aren't always better than the books. The books go more into detail than the movie. I enjoined the movie because it is more visual. The book was a little

Lastly, I felt that the style and order of the stories in the book differed from movie. This is probably so because in the book, it was easier to jump around from story to story, from story to reality, due to William’s narration to give it explanation. In the film, it would have been much more difficult to make all the stories come together like it did in the book, so I can understand why it was different in the film. For example, in the book, the story where Edward meets the lady with the

With many scenes taken away because some characters are never mentioned took away a lot of the overall meaning of the story. I didn’t feel to relate to the movie as much as I did with the novel. Leaving an apt amount of scenes out, took away some of the anticipation I was building up to. Which made me a bit disappointed.

C.S. Lewis wrote The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe because he wanted to write a children’s book “as a gift for his godchild” (Palmer). It began for him with a series of pictures that came into his mind. “Lewis stated, ‘Everything began with images; a faun carrying an umbrella, a queen on a sledge, a magnificent lion” (Kennedy). A fairy tale was forming in his mind and “‘At first there wasn't anything Christian about them; that element pushed itself in of its own accord’” (Kennedy), As the story progresses and Lewis’s characters and storyline begin to develop a seemingly clear relationship formed between The Bible and this novel. “Given Lewis’s strong Christian faith, that is not surprising. In fact, once the story was established, Lewis said he ‘...saw how stories of this kind could steal past a certain inhibition which had paralysed much of my own religion in childhood’” (Kennedy.) Even though C.S. Lewis started off writing a children's novel, many people perceive it to be a novel written in parallel to the Bible. Lewis has used Biblical references and a classic storyline to prove that good will alway triumph over evil. Aslan is labeled as a divine figure in the novel; he is also known as the son of the Emperor-Beyond-the-Sea. Aslan’s death and resurrection is like that of Christ. The four children are all considered important to in the world of Narnia, but in the real world they are

THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE is novel for children by C. S. Lewis which bring you in another world a world of fantasy. As the name of the novel tells a lot about the story of the novel, the word “wardrobe” and “witch” show that it is some kind of magical and fantasy base novel. It is said that the Narnia series is based on the seven sins. And this part of the series is about the “gluttony”. The story is about love, sacrifice, friendship, loyalty, faith and the greed of human, etc.

As far as I am concerned, I appreciate those moving stories in the book version. As William Shakespeare said: there are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people’s eyes. The author thinks highly of this film version, but many watchers cannot bear the film at all. No matter other people hate that you like the film, we cannot copy the emotion, which you get from the film to others. The world is so big and the emotion is so complex, feel free for what you are feeling about one film or something

Unlike the book, the movie is very visual with lots of sounds and exciting twists. Since I have read the novella I didn’t really care that much for the movie because I knew what was going to happen at the end. The one thing I was hoping for was that there was a new scene or new storyline. There wasn’t really a new

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is a book filled with many mysteries and leaves readers wondering about Narnia, Aslan, and the magic that goes on. The title of the novel perfectly matches the mysterious tone. People who first read or see the title may wonder what it means or how the lion, the witch and the wardrobe are all connected. It pulls in people who like complex books that do not give you all the inside information of the story or characters.

The journey began in 1940, when the Nazi’s began to invade England in the air raids of World War ll.

There are several heroes throughout the story: the Pevensie children and the true hero, Aslan.
