​The Lion The Witch and The Lion

​The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is a fancy story full of magic and both the book and the film tell so much about what C.S. Lewis wants us to know about the land of Narnia.
​The book and the movie have many similarities in repetition of events, words and situations. A main resemblance is that Aslan offers his own life to save Edmund. Also in both the book and the film Lucy finds Narnia first and the four children are sent away to Professor D.Krike’s house. An example of a difference is that the film includes a part where children and their mother run to a bomb asylum, during a bomb attack.
​The tale is shown through the eyes of the storyteller. There are explanations of Narnia, the children’s reflections and sensations and the passing of time. In the film, images replace the storyteller. The script is exact: it uses short sentences to explain the scene and the characters conversation. The conversation is a tad vapid at times. You can notify when a screenwriter substitutes modern conversation for the original.
​The movie follows the primary plot and composition of the book, and its most important topic: regret and expiation, betrayal and redemption, massacre and resurrection, the triumph of good over evil are preserved.
​As to auxiliary characters as fairy tale characteristics in the book Lucy finds entry into wardrobe alone. The film shows that a fox assists Susan, Lucy, Peter, Mrs. and Mr.Beaver. The book shows the wolves in the tale and mentioned no fox. Such characteristic of fairy tale as a calm beginning in the movie is not shown, because it begins with a realistic, frightening scene of the bombing of London. The book never describes the bombing with such accuracy, the book begins with a rather quiet explanation of why the kids are being sent to live in the province.
​Such characteristic as tests of the main character is shown different: take the portrayal of Peter Pevensie, whom Lewis describes as a natural captain who intuitively holds the duties the siblings have to Tumnus and to Narnia. In the movie, Peter becomes a hesitant participant who is each time trying to back out of Narnian cases and get his siblings safely back to England. We see his doubts. In the train station, Peter observes a soldier and we get a feeling that he is almost old enough to go to war. This was not an important aspect of the book, but is significant in the film.
​A journey into Narnia was different: in the tale they were hiding from Ms. Macready. In the film Edmund hit a cricket ball into the window and broke it, so the children hid in the wardrobe. In the both the film and book the kids met the beavers the same way.
​In the film, when Edmund is caught back by the “good” side, the dwarf is left in his position, tied in opposition to the tree. In the tale, the dwarf and the witch both leak out, using excellent disguise to elude their prospective captors.
​The tale and film both have evil and good characters. In the book Edmund was on the White Witch’s side, but towards the finish he came back to his brother and sisters. In the film the White Witch is absolutely as she was described in the tale.
​The tale has a lot of magic in it, but the largeness magical thing of all is Narnia. The world of Narnia has all kinds of magical creatures, Centaurs, Giants and others. Also in the film there is a butterfly lady, but not in the tale.
