Susan ~My Medea~

This vid is about Susan before, during, and after 'The Last Battle'. I'm not sure how to explain it, just that it shows Susan falling away from belief in Aslan and Narnia. In fact, mostly this is inspired by Dearheart42's Children of Dune video to the same song (I freely admit, hers is much, much better than mine).

Song: My Medea by Vienna Teng
Clips: The Chronicles of Narnia Prince Caspian and The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.

I do not own the music or the clips. I just use them for fun, and to promote the song and the movies.

Beautiful, powerful, rather terrifying. Indeed, Jadis would laugh to see the poison of despair and bitterness corrupting the Gentle Queen. But she is dead, and I think most fans are sure the Four could not be separated forever, and the Gentle would have the last laugh. ;-) An inspired piece of work.

@thinker5 Oh, there is definitely truth in everything you said. This is just the corrupted bitterness stage of Susan's life. Try my 'Shattered' vid for the 'starting to get it back together' part. Glad you liked the vid!

@LadyLirenel [Part 2] Anyway, I'm rambling, sorry, but you inspired me. Maybe I'm just desperately looking for an explanation for all that "warrior princess" style bizarreness the movie perpetrated on Susan's character! I hope you keep vidding, and I would especially love it if you could do anything more on Susan. You are gifted!

@thinker5 I think your idea is a little what I was going for in the vid, that Jadis was in part responsible for Susan's fall. Of course, my personal belief is that Jadis is the personification of Death which in Christianity is the result of sin. So I guess it's more that Susan is becoming more like Jadis as she loses faith, influenced by the corrupting power of Death. Something like that. I'm glad you like the vids, though. I hope to make more, including more of Susan.

Pretty Cool! Not sure yet what to think, of it all. But the movie was good!

[LadyLirenel]

Well, since I'm not sure what exactly I was thinking when making this, I'm not surprised it's a little confusing. I was also practicing some different effects at the time, I think.

@LadyLirenel Ta for the reply, and yes, "Shattered" is glorious, also in my favourites! I was watching this again and thinking, it also fits in well with the "witches never really die" idea from PC, maybe some part of Jadis' spirit or whatever lingered, and was able to influence and be sustained by a Narnian who, without meaning to, left herself vulnerable by falling prey to things Jadis uses: resentment, rebellion etc. [Continued]

I'm glad you thought the vid was good, even if it made you cry.

[Remember1973]

This video really gets to me, the emotion is almost overwhelming. It made me cry the first time I watched it(but I'm just an emotional person). Simply amazing.

lol. Well, good! I'm glad it sounds like I got it right! ^U^
