BBC Chronicles of Narnia: SC - Chapter 5/6 Part 3/3

[ellenkingsley]

Prince Rilian is so handsome

[10annasofia]

6:45 sexiness right there

[er10b]

7:44 Next time try the rear entrance. You're less likely to find a witch standing in front of you with a WTF face.

[Shemyaza200]

I thought there weren't going to be any more Chronicles of Narnia movies. I guess I could have heard wrong so any info would be welcome.

[MidlandNinja]

The Disney version isn't due for another 3 or 4 years

[twooffour]

6:50 Andy Serkis??

[TheHolandTrip]

YouTube wouldn't let me post the URL for Alan Spalding's web site (spam filter, probably). Use this adress for the set designer's portfolio:

spaldingdesign(dot)com(slash)c­hroniclesofnarnia(dot)aspx

[TheHolandTrip]

Alan Spalding did a really great job with the sets on this one. The exterior is sort of steam punk, while the interior of the prince's chamber is more gothic. He was the one who made the faun's cozy home as well. Take a look at his own web site for stills -- they are really nice (I didn't know about the guy myself until I watched The Silver Chair)

[JhadeSagrav]

6:45  Holy COW!!!!!

[joshjhutton]

The Silver Chair doesn't appear all that much in this story for it to be the title. I thought the same thing about the Goblet of Fire as well.

[pittland44]

He's got Phyllis Dilleritis!

[BabyBeatz13]

He could be in a L'oreal advert with that glorious hair of his.

[28165430]

His mask is kick-ass!!!!!!!!!!!!

[packjim56]

That queen is very PO'd. I shouldn't wonder.

[mrskinoti]

Shouldn't the Green Lady act more lovely than that? She acts like the White Witch! I know it's the same actress but the character is different (according to the book).

[felipe12511]

Os terrícolas não são nem um pouco parecidos com os do livro....e a bruxa entra com calma e não assustada...e a cadeira não quebra por inteiro..é só umas lascas que saem dela..... :(

[KanaraMac]

the entire time he was screaming i was just sitting on the edge of my seat going "say 'in the name of aslan' say 'in the name of aslan"

[thatGipsiePerson]

you'll have to wait about 4 years first...lol

[Galutron]

He looks bad with that mask on.

[NarniaRules9]

@Galutron indeed xd

[DelorienAz]

@Galutron I think they figured they had to use the mask so you wouldn't recognize him as Rillian (as we saw him earlier in the series). It's supposed to keep his true identity a surprise. (But yes, it is ugly :)

[backtothefuture1990]

i hope the disney version of the silver chair and the actor who plays rillian is as good as the old ones

[AnimalsInMyHeart]

Aww. It's so cute when Eustace saves her... <33

[AnimalsInMyHeart]

I like this much better than the Disney version. I do like Disney movies... but not when they make movies of my favourite books and make them.. NOT LIKE THE BOOK. I mean, Susan and Caspian!? That doesn't even make sense.

[DiamondHobbit]

I encourage everyone to read the book...once you discover the true meaning behind the metaphorical plot, it will bring you to tears. :D :D :D Beautiful truth.

[u07rs5]

out of interest what is the true meaning behind the plot?

[dnightwalker]

It think is faith. Time and time again our three friends had to have faith that everything that Aslan told them was going to work out at the end.

[jushyosaha604]

ok, the book is sooo much more better than this. i really hope they make a new movie out if this cuz the bbc version is horiible.

[ictr2006]

i hope they make a new movie

[andystarboy82]

Rilian is quite hot... the queen is a diva haha

[TKDLION]

I like the choice of the tizona sword (I guess designing a sword isn't in the budget like lotr) and I really like that helmet thing he has.

[pattee1984]

it's crazy how much hair he has in that helmet!!

[TKDLION]

I agree, it shocks me every time.

[Starrlaredeye]

Christianity and magic does not mix. They are two seperate things. For one, Jesus is not a lion. Two, Aslan created Narnia like a god. I'm not christian or athiest I'm just saying my point of view.

[saraya827]

y on earth did rillian like, try 2 suffocate jill or something?

[ecyor0]

Yeah, always wondered about that... I've always assumed it was either his bewitched personality momentarily taking over again, or that he was so desperate to be freed that he wasn't thinking his actions through properly

[ZeldaQueen64]

Well in the book, he did make increasingly violent threats against them. I guess he saw the three of them as his last chance to escape and he was so desperate to be free he was almost dangerous.

[lavatorylovemachine1]

the prince looks like george best.

[Kernzi]

too true, too true, what-a-to-do.

[Kernzi]

this was in response to lavatorylovemachine1's comment.

[TimeWaster001]

Fragile thing that helmet, eh? lol You know, I always wondered if it was significant in the story that it is not Jill or Eustace that free the Prince but Puddleglum who does it. The main theme of the book is faith and Puddleglum seems to be the only one out of them to have any faith in Aslan and the signs. Plus, who's the one who breaks the Queen's spell and denounces her claims that Narnia and Aslan are not real? It's Puddleglum! Interesting, huh?

[sabishiisamurai]

That is an interesting point. I hadn't really thought about it before, but it really does seem important. I suppose he has a deeper connection to Narnia (and therefore to Aslan) than the children do.

I'm just wondering, on Earth, the Earth the children come from, do they have Christianity, or is it some sort of parallel world? lol

[TimeWaster001]

I believe the Earth the kids come from is reality, our earth, so yes, Christianity does exist. I think it was in this book where Aslan says you will learn to know me by a different name in your world (Aslan = Jesus Christ) so Christianity does indeed exist. I like those subtle little allusions like that, don't you? ;)

[TKDLION]

You are definately right considering who the author was. Even if you couldn't pick that up from the story you would know by the author.

[zelda7792]

Good lord. Tom Baker looks even more like a duck with that makeup on. He looked enough like one when he's the Doctor.

[vidoquen111]

If he lost the beard he'd be hot.

[NightmareDolly]

the part of the chair that's around his wrists and his neck makes me think of the chair that Kira is stuck to in the Dark Crystal.

[NightmareDolly]

he loses his helmet and suddenly he's all shmexified

[HeathenMaiden]

Haha totally. I thought he looked so handsome when I was little. I still do I suppose ;)

[Lenorawakefield]

@NightmareDolly It's the beard...;)

[barcharger]

this is my favorite part too. i really hope they make brand new films of all the books espicially horse and his boy. but not w/ bbc, the quality and everything else isn't that good.

[HeathenMaiden]

Disney plan on filming ALL the books :)

[barcharger]

thank god! i'm excited....but u know they always seen to swerve a great deal from the storyline of the actual book. that wouldn't be cool at all.

[HeathenMaiden]

They always Hollywoodify all movies these days sadly. There were many things in the Disney version of LWW that felt VERY "un-Narnian" like and especially un-Lewis like and at times even Americanized. Just... wrong!

[animalsXhaveXrights]

Hey, at least the 'Hollywoodified' version has better music and the graphics are better. The lion looks better.

[barcharger]

true that

[igloodude11]

same here

[NightmareDolly]

I will say, though, that Lucy in the new movie is sweeter, Edmund has fallen further and thus risen higher, Susan's eventual fall in book 7 is better foreshadowed, and Peter is braver and kinglier. I love, LOVE the waterfall scence where Peter stabs the ice.

[narniaiscool]

Yeah

[DuchessAliana]

@NightmareDolly Yes, I LOVE the fact that Susan's fall is foreshadowed really well. Even in the 3rd movie they hint at it and she's technically not even a character in VDT.

[Tanru2000]

HEY! NO WAY! The music in the series is brilliant! The music in the movie was also wonderful!

[Starrlaredeye]

How is it americanized? The movie is waaay better than this big dissapointment. Whenever I heard Aslan's voice on the BBC version I was out of patience because He talked so slooow. Then the movie came and it is 1000000000000 times greater than this not to mention the guys are more hotter.

[Jamestopboy]

disney have dropped out and walden media are in negotiations with fox To film the last films

[REDROBINS007]

they are doing VDT as they already have a boy to play Eustace hes Will Poulter.

So, and they have an official date/s. Either the 8th may '10 or 12 dec '10

[Jamestopboy]

i know just disney have dropped out VDT AND SC are definately being made and if they can find someone to work with them then they will make ALL the films

[mercsmania]

well they've already (chronicle wise) missed out magicians nephew and horse and his boy, so not sure if they will do anything beyond those four. the other three don't really lend themselves to filming sadly...

perhaps last battle could be made, but not a happy book as such...

[BuckWilliams17]

I agree. The only criticism I have of the BBC version is they screwed up the children's ages. Other than that, they were true to the story line. I would've liked to have seen BBC do "The Magician's Nephew".

[ecyor0]

Yeah... if only they'd had the technology.... honestly, some of the scenes in that movie would just not have been possible back in the early 90's

[DuchessAliana]

I thought Rilian is supposed to be in a frenzy and screaming and foaming at the mouth while he's in the chair. That's what happens in the book. This wasn't as dramatic as it could've been...although it was sadder...an interesting interpretation.

[hotaru327]

I agree.

[Amarventris]

when was this on the bbc?

[HeathenMaiden]

Probably when they were spanking brand new back in the late '80s and early '90s?

[VirqzIbfazqr]

it is my favourite part of the story, i always swallow tears when they realise that he is prince rilian
