趁著Narnia快下檔的最後一天
花了$5, 坐在一個人的電影院欣賞第二集 Prince Caspian
      

由奇幻小說改編的電影,一向讓我既期待又害怕受傷害
也難為這些導演了, 把厚厚一大本的小說,硬是濃縮在至多兩個半小時的精華中
對於沒看過小說的人,不容易把故事說清楚
看過小說的人,又常因為角色和想像中有落差而失望
            

Narnia是我國小最愛看的系列童書之一
那時翻作"獅子,女巫,魔衣櫥"
泛黃的書頁,被我翻了又翻,最喜歡的莫過於系列小說的第一集
每每幻想著和Lucy一同摸著Aslan的金黃色鬃毛
和人馬,樹精,白女巫怪奇的模樣
                  

好險,電影第二集沒讓我太失望
雖然小說中許多喜歡的場景因為電影結構被刪掉加上我一直不喜歡劇中的大姊Susan,
(劇中這四個小孩的選角都跟故事書中的性格挺符合的
但沒辦法,Susan還是不討喜,怎樣都聯想不起來Prince Caspian會對她動心
而且,故事書中沒這段嘛,硬要加愛情戲是怎樣=__=)
最愛的Aslan也只出現幾分鐘
但有著可愛的小人馬,帥氣的老鼠,和Peter英勇的決鬥....
眼睛還是被吸引的140分鐘都離不開
                     
  

順道一提,這片的壯闊的管樂配樂很讚!幫電影大大加了分
                              



片尾曲The Call也很好聽!詞寫的恰到好處 :)
期待2009年的The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
但據說票房並不是很理想
不知道它能不能像魔戒一樣拍到完結篇呢...?
                                 



                      
Song by Regina Spektor
                     

It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word
                      

And then that word grew louder and louder
'Til it was a battle cry
                  

I'll come back
When you call me
No need to say goodbye
                     

Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never
Been this way before
             

All you can do is try to know
Who your friends are
As you head off to the war
                

Pick a star on the dark horizon
And follow the light
               

You'll come back
When it's over
No need to say good bye
                      

Now we're back to the beginning
It's just a feeling and now one knows yet
But just because they can't feel it too
Doesn't mean that you have to forget
            

Let your memories grow stronger ans stronger
'Til they're before your eyes
                   

You'll come back
When it's over
No need to say good bye
