Post-Exams Movie: The Chronicles of Narnia



 
The movies were based on C. S. Lewis' novels (7 books): The Chronicles of Narnia.
There have been 3 film adaptations:
1) The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005)
2) Prince Caspian (2008)
3) The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (2010)

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
The story follows four British children who were evacuated during the Blitz to the countryside and found a wardrobe that led to the fantasy world of Narnia; there, they must ally with the Lion Aslan against the forces of the White Witch, who had the world under an eternal winter.

Prince Caspian was the second adaption to the Chronicles of Narnia franchise.
The whole production team from The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe returned.
The story follows four British children who returned to Narnia and found out that over 1300 years have passed and the land had been invaded by Telmarines. The four Pevensie children returned to aid Prince Caspian in his struggle for the throne against his corrupt uncle, King Miraz.

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader was the third official film in the series.
The story follows the two younger Pevensie children as they returned to Narnia with their cousin, Eustace. They joined the new king of Narnia, Caspian, in his quest to rescue seven lost lords to save Narnia from a corrupting evil that resided on a dark island.

Choose at least one of the the following questions and share your personal opinion after viewing the movie: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.

2) What would you do if you come across the magical pond in the show which could turn everything into gold? Explain your answer? What would you do if you have as much gold as seen in the movie? Why?

3) How would you describe Eustace's character before and after his visit to Narnia? What do you think had caused such changes in his character? Have you experience any event in your life which has changed your character/personality? Please share the your experience.

  1. I think That Lucy Has learnt not to be greedy about beauty. My friends did not have similar experience.I think that she should just be herself and not be greedy.

  5. 3)Before his visit, Eustace believed that Narnia was an imaginary place which is thought and talked among his cousins, Lucy and Edmund. He believed that they were insane. But, after his visit to Narnia, he then did not consider Narnia as a imaginary place but as a place tht is alive. Eustace then believed his cousins and managed to get along with them very well. In life, a change in character may bring good or bad things. Being good and you will be respected or badness may overshadow you and people will know you famous for the bad reasons.Goodness takes time to build while a single bad thing may destroy that good image.

  7. [Q2] A: I would think twice before doing anything to the Magical Pond which could change anything to Gold because Gold isn't as important as life or safety. If I had as much gold as seen in the movie, I would sell them for money and donate the money for the people in need as they might need it more than I do..

  15. I will leave it. I would suspect that it would have a spell and even i survive it, i could be probably cursed. I would just use it help build hospitals and orphanages. I wanted to help the poor and I have this chance to make proper use of it.

  16. 2) i will not take the gold because i am happy with what i have and the gold does not belong to me. If i have that much gold i would save it for emergencies because it is not easy to get money in life.

  17. I would find the sword and leave in order to find the other 7 sword.Because what belongs to Narnia can't bring over to the another world.I will think of exchanging gold into real money then donate to charity.

  18. 2)I would leave the magical pond alone as I do not need the the gold. If I have as much gold as seen in the movie, I would exchange them with cash and donate the cash to charity.

  19. 2)I will take some of the item which had not turned into gold and put it in the pond.Then, I give to the charity and some I will share it with my family.

  20. I will take my old things and turn them into gold and sell away. The old things already cannot use and sell them away so as to make profit. I will take the gold and sell away to buy house,car and give some to my parents.

  22. [Qn3 part 1]Before Eustace visited narnia, he was insulting, disrespectful and he thought his cousins were insane as they believed in narnia. After he vivited narnia, he was kind, apologetic and he missed his cousins after they left.

  23. 2) I think gold is one of the ticket to richness in a short time. Gold is nothing compared to our own lives.I would not fall for gold at the sight of it. Money buys greediness into your life. Money turns you to forget your loved ones just like Edmund's behaviour against Prince Caspian after his wish to take gold and Prince Caspian forbade him. So do not fall for money easily.

  24. 2) I will not turn anything that i have into gold as i does not want to be a greedy person. I would donate some of my money to the needy people in the world or buy useful things for them because they need more help than me.

    ReplyDelete
  25. 2)I would leave the magical pond and continue on my journey as I do not need the gold.If I had as much as gold as seen in the movie, I would most probably exchange the gold for money and donate to the needy because I do not want greed to overcome me and have the gold all by myself.

    ReplyDelete
  26. 2)I would pretend that the magical pond was not there if I come across it. We should be honest and if I fell into the pond,I would turn into gold.
    I would donate the money to people who need it more than me if I have as much gold as seen in the movie. As helping others will make yourself and the people who had benefit happy.

  27. 2)I will leave the magic pond as the gold does not belong to me.If i have that much gold,i will exchange into money to give to people who need them more than i.

  28. I will not do anything to the magical pond. Money is not everything. I will not know what I have to pay after that.It is no worth to pay my live for that.

  29. Question 2:
    I will not care about it as I am afraid that i may accidently drop into the pond and turn into gold.If i have so much gold i will donate it to the poor one as they need it more than us and helping others will make us happy too!!:)

  31. 3)Eustace's character before his visit to Narnia, he was scared of the talking mouse and he also thought that it is only a imaginary place after his visit to Narnia, he was not scared any more and he was brave enough to help her cousin(Edmund) and Prince Caspian to defeat the seamonster.
    The causes that made changes in his character was being selfish of stealing golds and be came a dragon.
    I have came across, it is one day i when i wake up and i found that my neck was so pain that i cant turn my head or even look up at the sky so my mum called her friend to bring me to see doctor that before that day we said to go wodlands waterfront to play. But we still go there to play but I cant see properly as I see who is ontop of me and coming down. my mum say because that i have sleep in a bad way so I gets this injuries. from then on I sleep properly.
