Chronicles of Narnia Prince Caspian

Headed out with Dionne & ZhiHui to catch Chronicles of Narnia Prince Caspian yesterday. Finally, thank God for them. I found people to watch this great show with me, have been waiting for this show since like last year or was it this year, when I first watched the preview from Nuffnang!

The show is great! Must watch!
I managed to google and found some pictures!





They get their wish while sitting on a train platform waiting to go back to school for a new term. They're pulled into Narnia at the request of Susan's magical horn of need, blown by Prince Caspian. Little do they know that Cair Paravel lies in ruins and 1,300 years have passed since their last visit.















This guy reminds me of Nigel, I don't know why.



Susan.


Edmund.



This talking beaver lol.


Caspian meets the Kings & Queens of Narnia.







Cute cute cute Peter :D

I'm totally in love with Narnia, just like how I love Harry Potter.
Narnia is the show that helps to burn the fire for Christ. I mean like, really. I remember the other time, I watched Narnia with the cell and I really love the show a lot. Plus it really make you think twice about doing something.
Just like what I read about,
Spiritual Content of the show.
And why is faith in one talking lion so important in a story about multitudes of talking animals, not to mention centaurs, minotaurs, river-gods and tree-spirits? For that matter, why are we talking about faith in such positive terms in the midst of a story about mythical creatures? Because author C.S. Lewis goes to great lengths to show us that Aslan is a picture of Jesus Christ.



We're taught here that following Aslan is the most important thing you can do—especially when no one else can even see him. It's thought by Old Narnians that Aslan has abandoned them. But he has not.



When Lucy glimpses Aslan through the trees, then loses him the second she turns to tell the others, she's faced with a choice: follow the lion or follow the crowd. She picks the crowd, and all of them quickly pay for their blindness. (She later apologizes when confronted with her weakness.)


Similarly, Peter dismisses Lucy's plea to wait for Aslan's guidance ("Have you forgotten who really defeated the White Witch, Peter?") when they're about to go into battle. And, again, they pay for it, this time dearly.


[Spoiler Warning] It's not until Lucy and Susan seek out Aslan's help that success is granted to their quest. Aslan responds by waking up the trees and river-god, sending them to the Narnians' aid.


Psalm 127:1 reads, "Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain." Lewis was obviously trying to give life to this verse in his book. And while the film doesn't dive as deeply into it as the book does, the message is not lost, either.


Darker spiritual elements emerge when the White Witch is summoned by a "hag" and a wer-wolf, as Lewis spells it. The summoning involves an occult-themed ceremony of sorts and an incantation. And Caspian's hand is sliced with a knife in order to fulfill the witch's request for human blood—which she says will free her from her metaphysical prison.


To the rescue come the Pevensies, who by now know bad magic when they see it. They struggle against the hag and wer-wolf, destroying them before Edmund decisively blocks the witch's re-entrance into Narnia.


Elsewhere, Lucy heals people's war wounds with a magical potion she was given on her previous trip to Narnia. Aslan caps the story by healing a mouse's tail—à la Jesus restoring the man's shriveled hand in the temple (Matthew 12). Then he forms a magical doorway back to our world through which both Telmarines and the Pevensies walk.


This sort of make me want to go church more. Well, alternate weeks for church is better than not going church right? I mean I want to study hard. Okay yes study hard, do everyone proud do God proud, yes in His name. I guess, afterall, I have not forgotten those things that I learnt in Church, just that I don't apply them in my life. Well, I curse & swear and people I don't like. LOL okay I should stop those, maybe sometimes being a mute is something good. Less sinful.



The show also sort of tell us something like, in God's army we need to unite as one in order to make in to Heaven. Something like that, I don't know why just have the feeling. And I remember Choonkiat mentioned something about being in God's army, God's kingdom before. There's something about temptations too, well and many more. Okay good, I'm going to church, I need to, or no, I MUST go. It's a promise made. I can't possibly keep breaking my promises to others. I feel bad & guilty about it.


OKAY BACKTRACK. Enough of those rants about my thoughts.


We headed to Pasir Ris Park after the movie!
