    To explain the ending when they're grown up and hunting a white stag.
    A white stag in English mythology is a symbol of passing into another world, or a messenger from God, typically it was a bad omen to kill a white stag because they're so rare, the metaphor is the white stag showed the children the way back to the real world

    CS Lewis’ stories incorporated so many elements of traditional fantasy that we as a western audience are really familiar with (dwarves, fauns, centaurs, phoenixes, griffins). It’s really interesting watching a South Indian audience marvel at these characters seeing them for the first time. Also, the Christian connotations/allegories of this film should maybe have been explained to them, just to get some cultural context.

      @@jlr108 I also read them as a kid, and had an inkling about the Christian parallels, but wasn't sure if I was just making that up in my head. It's still a good story without knowing, but feels much deeper when you do know. I definitely appreciated the stories even more when I found out that Aslan was indeed a symbol of Jesus. And I do kinda wish that was explained to these guys as well. I think they would have appreciated the symbolism even more alongside the plain story.

      I didn't realise how different it was until they saw Santa Claus and asked who it was. To Western kids, if an old white man with a big white beard rolls up in a sleigh filled with stuff, he needs no explanation! But that's not universal. They were almost more marveled by the design of his cart (which to be fair, is pretty awesome)!

    • @starsign0805

      Actually, it really depends on which socio-economic sub-community they belong to. I'm Indian and mostly everyone I know grew up watching Narnia. I was obsessed with this movie when I was 8 and I still have all 7 books in my library. Christianity is actually a major religion in India, especially in the South and North-East, so we're super familiar with western iconography and folk tales. It might also be because we're an English-speaking nation, but I remember growing up to stories like Cinderalla, Little Red Riding Hood, Hansel and Gretel, and even Rumpelstintskin. But, yes, we do have a lot of our own indigenous content for children like Panchatantra and other stories based on Indian mythology that was probably consumed by everyone across the board in India.

      Aslan suffered, was humilliated and died, but not at risk I would say. He always knew he would come back to life. C.S.Lewis was writting about christianity, Aslan is Jesus Christ. He said to his disciples “The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed and be raised up on the third day.”

      @isaackellogg3493 6 місяців тому

      @@marmeryside Jesus didn’t risk a lack of resurrection, but He warned His disciples ahead of time. Aslan gave no warnings, so to say He knew all along that it would be all right meant that He was purposely allowing his closest followers to think He was dead when He wasn’t, which would be a worse betrayal than Edmund’s. Since Aslan’s sacrifice was meant to rectify a betrayal, not compound it, the line indicating Aslan’s situational ignorance was added.

      The books, inexplicably, have been renumbered so that they are chronological. This puts "The Magician's Nephew" first, even though it was the sixth book published.
      The original order, and the order in which I first read them is as follows.
      1 The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
      2. Prince Caspian
      3. The Voyage of the Dawntreader
      4. The Silver Chair
      5. A Horse and His Boy
      6. The Magician's Nephew
      7. The Last Battle
      I would encourage everyone to read them in this order, or using the current numbering, 2, 4, 5, 6, 3, 1, 7.

      Even though they were friends, they had one major disagreement. Which was C.S Lewis was not ashamed to be vocal and proud teaching people about Jesus, the Bible, salvation through Christ etc in his books, Tolkien was, he told lewis it wasnt needed to be so open as he thought it would put people off, so Tolkien tried to hide the gospel or some biblical idea in his books, whilst C.S Lewis wasn't put off by those comments and made it clear that these were Christian stories

    When a tornado rips through Kansas, Dorothy (Judy Garland) and her dog, Toto, are whisked away in their house to the magical land of Oz. They follow the Yellow Brick Road toward the Emerald City to meet the Wizard, and en route they meet a Scarecrow (Ray Bolger) that needs a brain, a Tin Man (Jack Haley) missing a heart, and a Cowardly Lion (Bert Lahr) who wants courage. The wizard asks the group to bring him the broom of the Wicked Witch of the West (Margaret Hamilton) to earn his help.🧙👸🌪️🐈‍⬛👠🤖🌁🥰

    The film is not that complicated. The book series, targeted at young children, is not that complicated. The gentlemen understand the movie as is and give engaged, enthusiastic, and heartfelt reactions.

      It's still a fun story without knowing the symbolism, but I do think knowing it adds depth and more meaning to the story. A western civ class wouldn't be needed. I think they already know the basics of the history of Jesus and what he means to Christians (based on other videos I have seen of them). They could have simply been informed that Aslan was the "Jesus" of that world and that would have been enough. I do think it would have enhanced their enjoyment knowing this added information. The same way I would appreciate a foreign movie even more knowing the depth of symbolism that it was about.

      Eh, I'm honestly torn on this one. While I do kinda wish they'd understood the deeper significance of the story to westerners---especially Christians---it was downright fascinating to see the views of someone who has none of that background whatsoever. They didn't even recognize very popular mythical creatures like gryphons. I can't imagine what it must feel like, having experienced those things my entire life. It'd be like being a child again.

    • @dione6388

      I get why people wish they'd understand the allegory, but if I can offer my perspective- they didn't need to. As a kid, I read the books & didn't know that it linked to Christianity. But I still caught on to the fact that it was a battle between good and evil, and I think that made it just as impactful for me.

    I've always loved the Chronicles of Narnia books. Even knowing that they were written by C.S. Lewis as an allegory to explain the Bible to children. They are all wonderful stories with a great moral foundation behind them. Especially in the final book: "The Last Battle." Aslan tells one of the servants of Tash (an evil deity created by the beliefs of pirates that made their way to Narnia) that every good action he had done in the name of Tash was actually done in service to Aslan. Every action of evil done in Aslan's name was actually done in service of Tash. So, if you spent your entire life doing good acts, no matter whose name it was done under, it was all in service of Aslan.
    It's a good reminder that, even for the non-religious or non-believers, one should always strive to be a good person.

    I wonder now if maybe the wardrobe only works when Lucy is touching it. This never occurred to me, but the only times it works as a portal to Narnia is when she is either inside it or at least touching the door. It remains open while she's inside Narnia (though time moves slowly over here, Edmond was still able to get in after her) but once she is on our side again and not interacting with it, the others only see a normal wardrobe. When they are inspecting it at the beginning, she's standing behind them away from it, but when they all climb in with her, it works.
