What the hell is going on with these reply dates
I've seen Narnia and don't really understand the meme. what's is this even about
well there are seven books in the series, and i think only books two through five have been made into films? anyway, in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader only the two younger children return. in The Last Battle however, the eldest son is back but the eldest daughter is not.
neil gaiman wrote a short story about why.
The Magician's Nephew is counted as book one these days, but that was not the order in which it was written and a few things won't make as much sense if you read it first, so I'm not sure why they re-ordered it other than they think that chronological order makes more sense overall, something I disagree with. It was originally the penultimate book, before The Last Battle.
So really, one through four were made into films, but BBC TV and Radio both did the whole thing.
They did make Voyage Of The Dawn Treader into a movie but a very long time ago like I want to say the '90s
BBC made one. Probably in the 90s. The mouse (Reepacheep?) was a full sized costume. Compared to the ful CGI newer one.
okay, this is definitely how I'm going to think of Narnia from now on.
TIL all the Narnia kids except Susan die in a train crash, tf??
It's all Christian metaphors, because Lewis was a bit of a hack at times and couldn't comprehend introducing kids to the idea of eternity by having them die at different times and reaching heaven together anyways they all had to die suddenly at the same time.
With that in mind, there aren't really that many ways to kill seven people suddenly at the same time. If it wasn't a train derailment it'd have been a plane crash or something.
I mean, it was written by a Christian and the first book was published 1950.
The 1949 law was passed in the UK barring marriage under 16, and went into effect 1/1/50.
Knowing Lewis the entire reason for the "Susan problem" was him likely being upset child marriage had been (slightly more) outlawed.
So Susan turned 16 and Lewis made a big deal about a sudden change and now she's an adult.
Granted, I could very well be wrong.
But it seems like somebody upset about progress, and I wouldn't be the first to label Lewis as such. But it's hard for anyone to claim he wasn't using his writing to shoehorn his opinions in and get kids to agree with him.
He was having an affair with a woman almost 30 years older than himself, and she died in 1951. I would lean more towards him being upset about something between them, than supposed pedophilia.
Dancing with the fauns.
The whole first part - thats how you realise what canon really was telling you. Sometimes you gotta process it slowly.
Do people really think about this sort of stuff.
Mostly people think.
But not all of them.
Some just don't, ever.
Yes
Duh.
