Great analysis GP!

However, concerning the issue of Edmund "I was king before" attitude, I daresay I think it's fine. Why? Mainly because I recall Edmund pulling this card on Caspian during their stay at Deathwater Island. I can see how they might be using this scene to establish the coming conflict at Deathwater... ;)

[GPuddle]

That scene in the book is an isolated incident where they are trying to decide who has a right to the "Goldwater." Edmund is pleading his case why he has a right.

The way they seem to be approaching it in the film is that Edmund is mad because people are treating him like a kid when he knows he's a king. Brat.

CS Lewis never addressed that issue of what it's like to go from being a king back to being a kid. I think it would have taken away from the fairy tale simplicity.

CS Lewis wrote this to a girl who asked about that:

.

"As to Aslan's other name, well I want you to guess. Has there never been anyone in this world who (1.) Arrived at the same time as Father Christmas. (2.) Said he was the son of the great Emperor. (3.) gave himself up for someone else's fault to be jeered at and killed by wicked people. (4.) Came to life again. (5.) Is sometimes spoken of as a Lamb.... Don't you really know His name in this world. Think it over and let me know your answer!"

i really loved the old BBC version of the ship, this one kinda looks like a carousel figure :)

First Comment on one of your 'Trailer Analysis.' You'd be amaized the guy you are now at what you would see if you saw the movie today. This was done over a year ago! Its amaizing to connect with what was in the trailer and what we saw in the movie.

@Nyhama I really agree with u, I remember seeing the first pictures of the ship from this movie. It has no texture at all, like its been cast. I think one of the reasons it look bad, is because WETA didn't do the props and stuff for this film.

Like what you've said, the previous two narnia trailers give you encouragement but this VDT gives you discouragement. I think I agree with that too. I just want to ask, from this trailer, can you see that Michael Apted is a better director than Andrew Adamson or the other way around?

I hated the 'King to boy feelings' idea either. It totally mutilated Pete's character in PC, and now with Ed... But even if it does work, wouldn't it have been done earlier? I mean, this is 2 YEARS after their first trip to Narnia, less than a year after their second, so wouldn't he have felt the backlash when Peter did? Or was he strong for his sisters AND Peter and now that Peter's gone, he's all angsty? Oy...

Again, YES. Saving Narnia from WHAT?! If they want money, stay true to the book! XC
