I took the Lone Star Girl to see the new Narnia movie yesterday afternoon. It was pretty good. It has been five years since the last time I read Prince Caspian and it (as well as The Horse And His Boy) never really stuck in my head as well as the others, so I cannot much speak to how true it was to the text. I certainly do not ever remember Peter being such a whiney-butt or a romantic subtext between Susan and Caspian, but I might be forgetting. It was a good movie anyway, and I thrilled to see noble Reepicheep. We enjoyed it.
There are just scads of movies coming out in the next year that the Lone Star Girl and I want to see. It is almost enough to make me want to revive Daughter And A Movie, but I don't know. One good thing about braces is that movies are cheaper without popcorn!
Your memory doesn't fail you. In the book, Prince Caspian is a boy, not a teen, so any romantic subtext between Susan and him would have been just icky. And Peter most definitely was not whiney. All of the Pevinsies are noble.
ReplyDeleteI read another review that said this movie was extremely violent. You didn't find it so?
