    To explain the ending when they're grown up and hunting a white stag.
    A white stag in English mythology is a symbol of passing into another world, or a messenger from God, typically it was a bad omen to kill a white stag because they're so rare, the metaphor is the white stag showed the children the way back to the real world

      It might also be Aslan. In case you didn't know, Aslan isn't just a lion. He can take any form he wants or needs, he does exist in every world and universe, and in every world he takes a different form. Within Narnia itself and in the book series he took the form of a cat, a black panther, an albatross, and a sheep, also in the end he is implied to appear in his original form, or perhaps a form more familiar for humans like say Jesus in his human form.

    I've watched several videos with these gentlemen, and not only do they get totally engrossed in the movies, they have some amazing insights! They are also very empathetic toward the characters, especially Badshah, I've seen him get very emotional when people, especially children, are harmed in the movies. I appreciate their reactions and points of view. Thank you.

    CS Lewis’ stories incorporated so many elements of traditional fantasy that we as a western audience are really familiar with (dwarves, fauns, centaurs, phoenixes, griffins). It’s really interesting watching a South Indian audience marvel at these characters seeing them for the first time. Also, the Christian connotations/allegories of this film should maybe have been explained to them, just to get some cultural context.

      @44macherie ปีที่แล้ว +21

      @@jlr108 I also read them as a kid, and had an inkling about the Christian parallels, but wasn't sure if I was just making that up in my head. It's still a good story without knowing, but feels much deeper when you do know. I definitely appreciated the stories even more when I found out that Aslan was indeed a symbol of Jesus. And I do kinda wish that was explained to these guys as well. I think they would have appreciated the symbolism even more alongside the plain story.

    • @44macherie
      @44macherie ปีที่แล้ว +18

      I totally agree-- I also wished that the Christian symbolism had been explained to them. It makes the story more meaningful and deeper. It's entertaining for us to watch their innocence, but I can't help but feel that they would appreciate knowing the extra info.

      I didn't realise how different it was until they saw Santa Claus and asked who it was. To Western kids, if an old white man with a big white beard rolls up in a sleigh filled with stuff, he needs no explanation! But that's not universal. They were almost more marveled by the design of his cart (which to be fair, is pretty awesome)!

    • @starsign0805
      @starsign0805 ปีที่แล้ว +19

      Actually, it really depends on which socio-economic sub-community they belong to. I'm Indian and mostly everyone I know grew up watching Narnia. I was obsessed with this movie when I was 8 and I still have all 7 books in my library. Christianity is actually a major religion in India, especially in the South and North-East, so we're super familiar with western iconography and folk tales. It might also be because we're an English-speaking nation, but I remember growing up to stories like Cinderalla, Little Red Riding Hood, Hansel and Gretel, and even Rumpelstintskin. But, yes, we do have a lot of our own indigenous content for children like Panchatantra and other stories based on Indian mythology that was probably consumed by everyone across the board in India.

    In the 1988 WonderWorks version of this movie, Lucy felt betrayed by Aslan that she had thought he would be dead forever when he knew everything would come out all right, but Aslan told her “I knew of the old inscription, but it had never been put to the test.” Aslan really did risk his life for Edmund’s.

      Aslan suffered, was humilliated and died, but not at risk I would say. He always knew he would come back to life. C.S.Lewis was writting about christianity, Aslan is Jesus Christ. He said to his disciples “The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed and be raised up on the third day.”

    • @isaackellogg3493
      @isaackellogg3493 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@marmeryside Jesus didn’t risk a lack of resurrection, but He warned His disciples ahead of time. Aslan gave no warnings, so to say He knew all along that it would be all right meant that He was purposely allowing his closest followers to think He was dead when He wasn’t, which would be a worse betrayal than Edmund’s. Since Aslan’s sacrifice was meant to rectify a betrayal, not compound it, the line indicating Aslan’s situational ignorance was added.

    Good reaction from the villagers to the movie Narnia! Why have the villagers not reviewed and reacted to one the most greatest movies made 1939 called "THE WIZARD OF OZ" yet? It would awesome to see them view the movie!🥰
    When a tornado rips through Kansas, Dorothy (Judy Garland) and her dog, Toto, are whisked away in their house to the magical land of Oz. They follow the Yellow Brick Road toward the Emerald City to meet the Wizard, and en route they meet a Scarecrow (Ray Bolger) that needs a brain, a Tin Man (Jack Haley) missing a heart, and a Cowardly Lion (Bert Lahr) who wants courage. The wizard asks the group to bring him the broom of the Wicked Witch of the West (Margaret Hamilton) to earn his help.🧙👸🌪️🐈‍⬛👠🤖🌁🥰

      It's still a fun story without knowing the symbolism, but I do think knowing it adds depth and more meaning to the story. A western civ class wouldn't be needed. I think they already know the basics of the history of Jesus and what he means to Christians (based on other videos I have seen of them). They could have simply been informed that Aslan was the "Jesus" of that world and that would have been enough. I do think it would have enhanced their enjoyment knowing this added information. The same way I would appreciate a foreign movie even more knowing the depth of symbolism that it was about.

      Eh, I'm honestly torn on this one. While I do kinda wish they'd understood the deeper significance of the story to westerners---especially Christians---it was downright fascinating to see the views of someone who has none of that background whatsoever. They didn't even recognize very popular mythical creatures like gryphons. I can't imagine what it must feel like, having experienced those things my entire life. It'd be like being a child again.

      I get why people wish they'd understand the allegory, but if I can offer my perspective- they didn't need to. As a kid, I read the books & didn't know that it linked to Christianity. But I still caught on to the fact that it was a battle between good and evil, and I think that made it just as impactful for me.

    I've always loved the Chronicles of Narnia books. Even knowing that they were written by C.S. Lewis as an allegory to explain the Bible to children. They are all wonderful stories with a great moral foundation behind them. Especially in the final book: "The Last Battle." Aslan tells one of the servants of Tash (an evil deity created by the beliefs of pirates that made their way to Narnia) that every good action he had done in the name of Tash was actually done in service to Aslan. Every action of evil done in Aslan's name was actually done in service of Tash. So, if you spent your entire life doing good acts, no matter whose name it was done under, it was all in service of Aslan.
    It's a good reminder that, even for the non-religious or non-believers, one should always strive to be a good person.

    The guys might like to know that the actor who provided to voice of Aslan is Liam Neeson, the same actor who played Qui-Gon Jinn in 'Star Wars: The Phantom Menace', which they have already seen. They might also like to know that the author of the original books, C.S. Lewis, was the one who determined that Aslan should be a lion.
    They have seen several videos about World War II, but I don't know if they know about the Blitz, in which London, Coventry, and other large towns were bombed by the Luftwaffe, resulting in great damage and loss of life. For this reason, many children were sent to the countryside, where they would be safer. People reading the books for the first twenty or so years of publication would have been well aware of that. By the time this film came out, that was a distant memory, so the opening bombing raid scene was added to remind younger viewers of the circumstances.
    Trivia: The producers carried the girl playing Lucy to the set blindfolded, so all her reactions to the snow and all are genuine. Also, she had never seen the actor playing Mr. Tumnus in his make-up before, so her initial fright was real, too. The actor's goat legs, by the way, were done in CGI. The same technique was used for the talking animals and the other half-man/half-animal creatures, just as they were the 'Jurassic Park' and 'Jungle Book'. Most of these fanciful creatures are from mythology.
    Now, when will they have the chance to finish 'Lord of the Rings'? I also hope they are able to see the next two films in the Narnia series. PLEASE get Ruby back as often as you can. I'd love to see her reactions to these films.
