Movie-Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

'Everything you know is about to change forever.'

Just finished watching the movie with my family and I have to say that this is a really good movie that follows the tracks of the first installment. I love the fact that Aslan always says something profound and displays that messianic figure. The movie again proves to show that good triumphs over evil in the battle for mans' heart. It was really heart-warming to watch the movie as it reminds me so much of what God has done, and will do. As the tagline says, what we know can make a difference in both our own and other lives. Is it put to good use? Sometimes i ask myself what the future holds and i can't answer for it.

In a scene Aslan said,"You'll never know what's going to happen next, but you'll know what will eventually happen." (something like that i think)

Rather, it's like there's no need to worry about the future, we know where this whole life is leading to eventually but what matters are the NOW moments. The movie shows a lot about faith too. Doubt in God, trust in men and likewise.

Lucy tells Aslan,"Everyone didn't believe in you." Aslan replied,"So what's stopping you from believing in me?"

God erases our doubt and fear when we look to Him. Many things of the world and even people, distract, discourage and tempt us out of that confidence we can have in Him. In the movie the older siblings, over time, had begun to lose faith in Aslan and even to the extent of losing hope and doubting his existence. The younger ones (resembling childlike faith) stand firm on their belief in Aslan and that gave them hope and eventually victory.

I think C.S.Lewis is an awesome writer though I haven't read his books but from testimonies I'm sure he is gifted and talented to write such great life-aspiring stories that has the truth instilled into it. Overall I believe this movie, if interpreted, can make a difference.



Good detailing, good plot, good humour, music could've done better, good story.

The epic battle for our hearts goes on.

Movie rating: 8/10
