Yesterday I saw the movie version of “The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe”. It was a beautiful movie; I feel they captured the feel of Narnia. It felt real. After this I can truly believe that Narnia exists. Narnia have been a part of me as long as I can remember, this is no kidding. There has been a television series version of “The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe” shown during Christmas children’s telly forever it feels. I read the complete series before I was 8 (in Norwegian of course) and again in English last summer. Narnia was there for me long before Arda was and is one of the corner stones in my world. Together Narnia and Arda make the belief that everything is possible. Lewis and Tolkien make the epic tales I, as so many others, have read, loved, lived. For that is what those stories truly represent to me, a world I can escape into. Lucy was there, showed me the way. She sat me upon the path. When I was younger, while my parents thought I couldn’t differ between real and make-believe, my mom told me that was what Narnia was, Lucy, Edmund, Susan and Peter’s make-believe, their game to make time pass. Now I do not even consider that possibility, for me Narnia is real. These worlds are real for me and nobody can make me believe otherwise, I’ll fight for Narnia.
“For Narnia”
I loved the beginning of the movie version, it put the whole thing into perspective and showed us how war affects ordinary civilians. For me this is also a theme brought up by Aslan’s sacrifice, which have always been one of the most emotional scenes for me, I cry every time I see it, I cry when I read it, it makes me sad replaying it in my head. Seeing someone who you thought would protect you forever, a parent figure, being humiliated and killed is for me one of the saddest things I know. Because nothing can really go wrong when Aslan is there, can it? Aslan becomes the almighty guardian we all need, the parent figure who’ll fix it all when we fail. A funny thing is, and I haven’t thought of this before now, my guardian figure is a big cat, a tiger to be more precise. I wonder if that have any connection to Narnia always having been a part of my life. Anyways I think of Aslan, not so much a guardian for I have my own, but more an ideal, a guide, and strangely enough my lord and liege.
“For Aslan”
For Narnia and Aslan, until death.
