Today we watched the first Narnia movie in class, “The Chronicles of Narnia: The lion, the witch and the wardrobe”. The movie is based on the book written by Clive Staples Lewis, as are the rest of the Narnia movies. C.S. Lewis has written seven books about the chronicles of Narnia, as well as a few other novels. He is known as a novelist, an academic, a medievalist, a literary critic, an essayist, a lay theologian and a Christian apologist.
The movie we saw today was about four children, Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucie who got sent away by their parents due to the war. But unfortunate for them, this wasn't the only war they were to experience.
If you wish to see the trailer for this movie you can watch it HERE.
Personally I think it's a really good movie, not quite my type of film though, but it's still really good. I have also read the book, and I like it much better, though this might not come as a shock due to the fact that movies based on books are not as good as the book itself.
Another fantastic writer is John Ronald Reuel Tolkien. Tolkien was not only a writer, but a poet, philologist, and a university professor as well. He is best known as the author of The Hobbit, The Lord of The Rings, and the Silmarillion.
J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis were close friends, and they were borth members of the informal literary discussion group.
