[Edit this paragraph] 2. Overview of movies

After three years' absence, The Legend of Narnia 2, which fans have been waiting for, has finally arrived. It's really hard to wait. In the popularity list in 2005, The Legend of Narnia 1: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe gained a lot of popularity, and at that time, it made a box office income of 700 million US dollars worldwide, which made it popular at home and abroad. This year, Disney Company led the original crew in the first episode, struck again while the iron was hot, and produced the sequel "The Legend of Narnia 2 Prince Caspian", which was far ahead of the original work in both plot and special effects.

Four brothers and sisters fight again in a strange kingdom

In Narnia Legend 1, the magical wardrobe once brought four brothers and sisters into the mysterious kingdom of Narnia, where they learned honesty, kindness and courage and finally brought peace and happiness to the residents there. After bidding farewell to the mysterious kingdom of Narnia, the four brothers and sisters returned to their respective human worlds and lived a stable life. After a year, the four brothers and sisters waiting for the train to return to school on the bench of the railway station were suddenly brought back to the magical world of Narnia by a magical force. But time seems to have passed 1300 years, and everything in front of me has changed. The kingdom of Narnia as they know it no longer exists. At that time, the magnificent palace was in ruins, and Narnia, conquered by the Telma people, also fell into the hands of the violent and vicious king Milos. Under the atrocities of the Telma people, the Narnia people were almost completely extinct. Besides, King Milos wanted to kill Prince Caspian, the crown prince of Narnia, and make his son the only heir. In order to protect himself, the young Prince Caspian had to sneak out of the palace and hide in the deep forest. There, Prince Caspian met four brothers and sisters. With their help, can the handsome young Prince Caspian save Narnia from the Telma people? Can we rebuild the once glorious and hopeful kingdom of Narnia?

Gorgeous special effects+exotic species

The Legend of Narnia is a fantastic literary masterpiece, which has been popular all over the world for a long time. It was written by British writer Lewis in 1950, and a series of works were published in 1950- 1956. There are ***7 stories, each of which can exist independently or form a grand history of the rise and fall of magic kingdom.

For such an imaginative magical film, the adaptation of famous works and famous directors is far from enough. It is WETA Studio in New Zealand that makes these imaginations come true. This special effects studio, which once helped the Lord of the Rings create brilliance, transferred all its experience and wisdom to this brand-new theme. WETA once created 10 species for The Lord of the Rings, but they created more than 60 species for this film, at least half of which have never appeared in nature, all of which were created by the production team freely, creating a mysterious Narnia world. For example, in Prince Caspian, you can see the fat old man, the goat god, the dwarf woman, the half-blood remy martin, the tauren, the old witch, the werewolf, the lion-headed eagle, the tree man, the lovely mouse and the goat man, all of which are relatively animalistic.

For WETA, the most complex species is the centaur originated from ancient Greek mythology. This special effect must combine the actor's performance with the horse's movements in harmony. At the same time, they also produced more than 1300 sets of weapons and armor for the duel of 20,000 soldiers in the climax of the film. In that scene, Yi used more than 1000 makeup artists and technicians, and the clothing department made clothes specially for this purpose.

Narnia saga 2: the battle between good and evil is about to ignite.

Unlike Tolkien, an old friend who is good at choosing words and making sentences, Lewis, a magic master, only thought for a few years and then constructed a vast and eternal classic seven-part "The Legend of Narnia". Together with Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, it is called the classic of magical adventure stories. Since The Legend of Narnia, the first episode of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, won the global box office in 2005, the movie version of The Legend of Narnia has been very popular. With the full support of Disney, the filming of the film series can be described as speeding! Today, three years later, can Prince Caspian reproduce the style of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe? It is worth looking forward to!

Features: Innocent fairy tales and fables

People often have extraordinary interest in the world that may exist outside reality. Lewis, the founder of The Legend of Narnia, created a brand-new fairy tale world-Narnia Kingdom for children all over the world. What is even more fascinating is that this fairy tale world seems not far away from us. This happened not in the legendary Middle Ages like The Lord of the Rings, but in the real World War II. They got rid of the cruel reality and entered the dreamy fairy tale world through an ordinary wardrobe at home. Lewis seems to realize that the process of children's growth is the soul of the story, so there is no romantic love story between the prince and the princess in The Legend of Narnia 2: Prince Caspian, but it shows the complexity of the children's world and the best qualities that children should have in the process of growing up, namely sincerity, friendship, unity, loyalty and dedication. Compared with other magic movies, this is an overage movie and a Hollywood blockbuster worth seeing. Children don't need to dig deep into the deep meaning behind the story, just know what is good, what is bad, what is right and what is wrong.

Contrast: Evil and darkness are more advanced than others.

As for the script, the difference between The Legend of Narnia 2: Prince Caspian and the previous one is that it develops in a dark way, because the Pa Wen Xisi brothers and sisters are not the four little brothers and sisters at that time. With the growth of age and experience, they find that there are more and more dark and cruel elements in life. Compared with the previous film, director Adamsen explained: "Prince Caspian is darker and more mixed than the last film, probably because the children have grown up a little, which makes the story itself more mature in essence." In fact, in the last movie, there was already a rather dark plot. For example, Aslan's death is naturally one of the darkest plots in the film. But in Prince Caspian, the film strengthens people like Milos, such as Prince Caspian's uncle, and makes the film more sinister.

Aspect: the performance of beautiful men.

As for the actor, the actor who plays Prince Caspian is Ben Barnes, a handsome boy born in England in 198 1. This young man who joined the Royal Youth Troupe at the age of 16 is simply a spokesperson who pays equal attention to beauty and wisdom. Barnes received a double degree in English and drama from Kingston University and began to play an important role in History Boy. However, when he learned that he was chosen to play the role of Prince Caspian, he immediately broke his contract and stopped playing the role of history boy and turned to play the role of Prince Caspian. After all, this is a rare big production, and Barnes hopes to step onto the international stage with this film.

[Edit this paragraph] 3. Original plot

"The Magician's Nephew" Boys Dugrais and girls Polly like adventure. They entered Uncle Dugrais Andrew's laboratory by mistake. He is a poor and selfish magician. In order to test his magic, he sent Digory and Polly to a mysterious forest with a magic ring, which can lead to all the worlds. Through the magic of the Lord of the Rings, two children came to a dying world-Charn City. Out of curiosity, Dugrais awakens the evil witch Queen Dzhanis. Witches used extinction spells to turn Charn Kingdom into a desolate city and exterminate all the creatures there. She followed her two children to London. Uncle Andrew trembled in front of her and was willing to be her slave. In order not to let her continue to do evil in the city, two children took her to another world. Uncle Andrew, the coachman and his old horse followed. In this world, they witnessed Aslan, the lion king, creating everything and establishing a brand-new country-the Kingdom of Narnia. Aslan appointed the coachman and his wife as the first king and queen of Narnia and turned his old horse into a flying horse. Aslan, the lion king, sent Dugrais to a distant garden to pick apples-the fruit of life. There, Dugrais resisted the temptation of the witch Janice and brought back the fruit of life. Aslan planted apples on the border of Narnia to ward off witches. Dugrais got the fruit of life from this new apple tree and took Polly home to cure his mother's illness.

The Lion King, the Witch and the Wardrobe pevensey's four brothers and sisters, Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy, were visiting the home of an old professor when they came across a magical magic kingdom hidden behind the wardrobe. The inhabitants here are sheep monsters, beavers, dwarfs and tree spirits ... but during Aslan's departure from Narnia, the country was occupied by an evil white witch. She oppressed the residents of Narnia and plunged them into eternal winter. The sheep monster once risked his life to save Lucy, and the beaver also helped their brother and sister escape from the white witch. Edmund was once tempted by the white witch Turkish fudge and betrayed his brother and sister. Later, Aslan accompanied Santa Claus to Narnia and led everyone to defeat the witch. Four children became the king and queen of Narnia. Many years later, when they were hunting, they accidentally rummaged through their closets and returned to their childhood world.

The story of a talking horse and a child took place during the reign of Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy in Narnia. One day, young Shasta found that he would be sold by his adoptive father to an evil Caledonian nobleman as a slave. In the evening, he ran away with Marbury the noble. Bree is a talking horse in Narnia. Shasta fled to Narnia with it. On the way, they met the noble girl Aravis and her talking mother Mahwin. Aravis fled out of dissatisfaction with the arranged marriage. So the four of them went together. On the way, they went through a lot of hardships and learned that La Badache, Prince of Calormen, tried to raid Anwar City in Achineland and then attack Narnia after his proposal to Queen Susan was rejected. With the help of Aslan, the lion king, they galloped to tell the news. Finally, Shasta saved Narnia and Achran. After the victory, I found myself a prince of Achran, formerly known as Keo, who was stolen by traitors with ulterior motives and raised by fishermen. He later succeeded Achineland to the throne and married Aravis.

The story of Prince Caspian took place a year after Peter and four other brothers and sisters returned to their own world. The four of them were sitting on the bench of the railway station waiting for the bus when they returned to school during the holiday, and suddenly they felt a special force pulling them into Narnia. They learned that it had been 1300 years since they left Narnia. Milos, the younger brother of the former Narnia king, usurped the throne and killed his brother. Under his brutal rule, all talking animals and elves were hidden. However, Prince Caspian, the son of the old king, longed for the liberation of Narnia. He fled the palace and found the old residents of Narnia in the forest, and got their support. There is a fierce battle between good and evil. When the prince was outnumbered, he blew Susan's magic horn and called Peter's four brothers and sisters back to this world to help them. They led the animals and elves of Narnia to defeat the evil king, Prince Caspian succeeded to the throne, and Narnia was full of vitality. Peter's four brothers and sisters returned to their own world.

During the summer vacation, Edmund and Lucy stayed at Uncle Harold's house and lived with their cousin eustace. Eustace is a pain in the ass. One day, an oil painting with sailboats on the wall suddenly pulled them into the painting. They met King Caspian on the ship, who was sailing to find the knights who were expelled by his uncle. Another purpose of sailing is to find the kingdom of Aslan the lion. Along the way, they passed through various magical islands, such as isolated islands, sound islands, dark islands and so on, and experienced various difficulties and obstacles. In this adventure, eustace changed from a greedy, selfish and annoying bad boy to an honest and brave boy. They finally sailed to the outside of the end of the world and found the land of Aslan, but except the mouse reepicheep who stayed outside the king of Aslan, everyone else could only return to Lamandou Island. They lifted the magic, awakened three sleeping Sir Alex Ferguson, and finally returned to Narnia. Edmund and Lucy also returned to menstruation's home in Cambridge.

Eustace, a silver chair, and Jill, a young girl, were chased by a group of bad students, fled into a small door leading to the wilderness, and accidentally found themselves in Aslan. They accepted the task entrusted by Aslan to find the missing only son of King Caspian, Prince Ruilian. Ten years ago, the queen was killed by a green poisonous snake. Soon, the prince was lured away by a beautiful woman in green. In fact, this beautiful woman in green is a snake spirit. She used magic to control Prince Ruilian. Prince Ruilian is awake for only one hour every night. But then the snake spirit tied him to a silver chair and controlled him with magic. Eustace and Jill and swamp thing, who helped them, started a dangerous search, but because Jill forgot Aslan's instructions, it added many dangers. Passing through the northern wasteland occupied by giants, they strayed into the cannibal Hafang Palace and came to the kingdom deep underground ... Finally, they rescued Prince Ruilian in the The Dark Castle, smashed the silver chair and resisted the magic of the snake essence, finally killed the snake essence, liberated many slaves of the snake essence-goblins, and returned to Narnia. Unfortunately, the old king Caspian died immediately after seeing the prince. Later, Aslan saved Caspian with a drop of his own blood and restored his youth and vitality. He lived in the kingdom of Aslan, while eustace and Jill went back to their school.

A tailless ape accidentally picked up the fur of a lion and induced his friend, a simple mule, to put on the lion's skin and pretend to be Aslan to control the creatures in Narnia. In order to save the creatures in Narnia and expose the tricks of apes, King Tillian became a prisoner of apes and Calormens. He asked Aslan for help and called eustace and Jill. They rescued King Tielian and led loyal animals such as unicorns against Kalemen troops, rebellious beasts and dwarves. But at this time, the cruel pagan god Tashi has come to Narnia. Eustace was captured and outnumbered. King Tyrion hid in the stable, only to find seven kings and queens-Peter, Edmund, Lucy, eustace, Jill and Diggory, and the rejuvenated Polly, standing in front of him as kings and queens. With the appearance of the lion, "time" woke up, the horn of the end of the world sounded, the night enveloped Narnia, and Narnia was finally destroyed. Aslan led all creatures who believed in him through a door and came to his kingdom. Aslan told Lucy that they all died in a train accident. All the important things and lovely animals in old Narnia entered the real Narnia through this door. Everyone who has appeared in the past is here. From then on, they lived a happy life in New Narnia.
