Narnia - The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe

I have got always loved phantasy movies, especially 1s based in the olden years and in the past. There are many movies I can call that have got been based on the phantasy genre but none as great as The Lion the Enchantress and the Wardrobe.

Based on the 2nd book of The Chronicles of Narnia by C. S. Lewis, The Lion the Enchantress and The Wardrobe is put in Greater London of World War II, where the German air forays were claiming many lives. The four Pevensie children - Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy are sent away from Greater London to a safer topographic point with the bizarre Professor Digory Kirke (played brilliantly by Jim Broadbent) and his cranky housekeeper Mrs MacReady (Elizabeth Hawthorne) after their house is destroyed by a bomb.

Shortly after being introduced, a game of conceal and seek acquires under manner and Lucy detects the land of Narnia in the closet in the trim room. There, she rans into Mister Tumnus, a faun. After disbursement a few hours with him, she go backs to the trim room only to happen out that no clip at all had passed from the clip that she had hidden in the wardrobe. She explicates all the experience to her blood brothers and sister, only to be laughed at.

Later Edmund follows Lucy and detects Narnia for himself. Days later after shattering a window during a game of cricket, the four tally to the trim room to conceal in the closet only to be poked and prickled by tree branches. The sibs apologise to Lucy for not believing her and are then greeted by a beaver who takes them to Aslan. The beaver then states them that according to a prophecy, they are two boys of Adam and two girls of Eve that were supposed to overcome the White Person Enchantress who was causing the atrocious wintertime in Narnia. Together the four Pevensies travel forth to overcome the achromatic witch.

I won't state you the remainder but I will state you that the moral of this narrative is to never give up and listen to your siblings, even if they are not right, still believe them and travel bank check out what they have got found.

Here are some memorable quotation marks from the movie:

Susan Pevensie: [about Lucy] She believes she's establish a charming land...

Professor Kirke: Hmmm.

Susan Pevensie: In the upstairs wardrobe.

Professor Kirke: [eyes widening, he hotfeet to the children] What? What did you say?

Simon Peter Pevensie: Lucy believes she's establish a wood inside...

Susan Pevensie: She won't halt going on about it.

Professor Kirke: What was it like?

Susan Pevensie: Like talking to a lunatic...

Professor Kirke: No, no, not her, the forest!

Susan Pevensie: [stares] you're not saying you believe her?

Professor Kirke: And you don't?

Susan Pevensie: Of course of study not. I mean, logically it's impossible.

Peter Pevensie: I don't say "we're sorry" would quite cover it?

Lucy Pevensie: No, it wouldn't.

[Pelts him with A snowball]

Lucy Pevensie: But that might!

[Peter custody Edmund a pelt coat]

Edmund Pevensie: But that's a girl's coat!

Simon Simon Simon Simon Peter Pevensie: [nods] I know.

[Peter sees Mr. Beaver in the forest and doesn't yet cognize he can talk]

Peter Pevensie: Here, boy, tsk, tsk, tsk.

[holds out hand]

Mr. Beaver: I ain't going to odor it if that's what you want.

I warmly propose this film to any phantasy lovers and those who desire some pure film fun.
