for narnians






Prince Caspian was quite a blast.
Entertaining.

And exciting enough for me to hold back my bladder and resist the urge for that much-needed toilet break.

Amidst deciphering the thick inaudible accents of the Telmarine characters, I was mesmerized throughout. But, not as mesmerized as I was with the first flick:
Chronicles of Narnia - the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (which one of my bosses has conveniently named "the animal, the cupboard, and the LKB (try decoding this :P))

Anyway, I read the first book when I was younger. "Stole" it from my cousin's bookshelf.
Back in those days everything just seemed less real and more magical.
I loved Aslan, and often wished I had such a "god" in my life.

And I absolutely hated the White Witch.
And it's so amazing that every fairy tale creature you've read about in Enid Blyton books comes alive all at one enchanting place. Hell, even the trees in Narnia are magical.
Bottomline is, C.S. Lewis is a genius.




Prince Caspian was a little less magical, probably because...
well, the sons of Adam and daughters of Eve are all grown up and oddly, less believable.
(Wait a minute, are grown ups less believable?)

Nonetheless, for those of you who're looking for a less scary version of Lord of the Rings,
Prince Caspian is it. :)
