Narnia

[burntcopper]

Okay, this? this was lovely. Packed cinema for Wardrobe, most of audience above teen level :g:

It's not a masterpiece but it is lovely. You need to go see it. The director and writer have added a whole chunk of extra depth, especially in terms of characters and certain motivations. The fact that they are actually refugees from the Blitz is kept hold of and referred to, unlike in the book, where it's merely incidental. Costumes, makeup and photography fucking gorgeous, but then what do you expect, since it's made by the same guys who did LOTR.

Oh, and James McAvoy as Tumnus is fucking gorgeous. the_oscar_cat, if you haven't seen this yet, go now and drool. (oh, and the Shakespeare Re-told is out on dvd)

Mind you, my addiction to the fucked up future fic about Narnia and the Pevensies is not helped by this film in the slightest. Though it is the first production/book of Narnia where I haven't automatically thought 'Edmund is gay.' This one may be just bisexual.

He was SO on fire even in this disney movie. I just loved the big grin on his face (and only his face) at the end of the film when he gets his tiara.

Prancing around wearing female fur coats that were taken off the rack from Glen Close's wardrobe from 101 Dalmatians, eating turkish delight (yuck) and being the sissy outsider. I loved Edmond's character.
