I remember the first time I saw this movie was more than ten years ago, when I was deeply attracted by the pictures on the screen, and now I pick up the book, and when I read this story again, I have a different understanding, which is the mystery of often reading and changing.
The Chronicles of Narnia is a series of seven magical stories written by Lewis between 1951 and 1956, namely The Sorcerer's Nephew, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, The Noble Horse and the Boy, Prince Caspian, The Dawn Treading Wave, The Silver Chair, and The Last Battle. A collection of myths, fairy tales and legends, the story of Narnia unfolds with the struggle between good and evil as a clue, with profound meaning, tense plot, twists and turns, magnificent imagination and fascinating.
My favorite is this "The Lion, the Witch and the Magic Wardrobe", some people have commented that it is the same as "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter" and called the world's three major magical literary milestones, I think for this evaluation, this novel is worthy of this evaluation. The story tells the story of how, in order to escape the war, the four brothers and sisters are sent to the countryside by their parents, and they accidentally discover a mysterious wardrobe in a game of hide-and-seek, which turns out to be the passage to a magical world of "Narnia", which has been magically transformed into a world of perennial ice and snow by the Bloodless Witch. Four brave children embark on a thrilling adventure in "Narnia" and with the help of the lion Aslan, they finally defeat the witch, break the ice spell, rescue the kingdom of Narnia, and restore the world of spring in all seasons.
The kingdom of Narnia in the story is a mysterious and fantastical world with human-speaking animals: giants, centaurs, half-human sheep, beaver couples, the great lion king Aslan, evil witches and frozen spells. This is a magical world completely different from the real world. And this is the biggest charm of the magic novel, they have the most wild imagination, creating a magical and magnificent exotic world for the reader, satisfying the human nature of the "supernatural ability" yearning. At the same time, the story is also fascinating because the kingdom of Narnia is full of innocence and dreams, it is "the perfect combination of animal and human, adult and child characteristics." ”
Unlike previous fairy tales, the characters of the story cannot be judged simply by the label of evil or good, just as Edmund was coaxed by the bloodless witch to use the Turkish fudge she made to serve her and betray his brothers and sisters, and when he recognized the witch's true face, he had the courage to admit his mistakes and fight with his brothers and sisters at the expense of sacrifice. Yes, the characters in the story are complex and multifaceted, and their true moral character needs to be slowly realized in our reading. Another flash plot is to save Edmund's life, where the lion Aslan sacrifices his life and is reborn. And this selflessness makes our hearts feel greatly shaken at the same time, but also sublimates the theme of the story.
The Narnia legend tells us in the story how to understand ourselves, how to face our weaknesses and how to become the person we want to be, which is the exploration and pursuit of life and growth. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the Narnia saga has such a strong appeal to readers.
