MediaShout introduces you to
the magical land of Narnia
C.S.
Lewis’ timeless adventure “The
Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch
and The Wardrobe” follows the exploits
of the four Pevensie siblings -- Lucy, Edmund,
Susan and Peter -- in World War II England,
who enter the world of Narnia through a magical
wardrobe while playing a game of hide-and-seek
in the rural country home of an elderly professor.
Once there, the children discover a charming,
peaceful land inhabited by talking beasts,
dwarfs, fauns, centaurs and giants that has
become a world cursed to eternal winter by
the evil White Witch, Jadis. Under the guidance
of a noble and mystical ruler (the lion Aslan)
the children fight to overcome the White Witch’s
powerful hold over Narnia in a spectacular,
climactic battle to free Narnia from Jadis’
icy spell forever.
The
film marks the first live–action directorial
effort for the New Zealander Andrew Adamson
(from the Oscar®–winning “Shrek”,
“Shrek 2”), who also co-wrote
the screenplay adaptation with Emmy® Award–winner
Ann Peacock (HBO’s “A Lesson Before
Dying”) and scribes Christopher Markus
& Academy Award®–winning filmmaker
Mark Johnson.
To
bring his dazzling vision to the screen, Adamson
secured the talents of Oscar®–nominated
production designer Roger Ford, seasoned costume
designer Isis Mussenden, film editors Sim
Evan–Jones and Jim May and composer
Harry Gregson–Williams.
The late C.S. Lewis, who was an Oxford professor,
is regarded as one of the 20th century's pre-eminent
Christian thinkers. “The
Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch
and The Wardrobe”
illustrates the basic concepts of Christianity.
Themes such as betrayal, death, resurrection
and redemption are found throughout the movie.
This movie can evoke thoughtful discussion
concerning Christian symbolism and moral beliefs.
