you can see some of Lewis' democratic tendencies in his opposition to slavery, and his regarding all sentient creatures (talking) as equals.

i love his satire, he can burst the bubble of any proud person.

his Dufflepuds are just as intriguing and funny as the Oompa Loompas.

my favorite is The Silver Chair, with the underground fires like jewels; how fun it would be to see that in good CGI! and the giants, and the beauteous hypnotic green witch, and Puddleglum who was constantly depressed yet so brave and faithful.

Same for me! I also really liked The Horse & His Boy.

we need to start a campaign to get The Silver Chair into 3D movie format, it would be a killer.

i especially like 2 things from The Horse & His Boy; one is that idea that "worry about your own story; that was her story', which Aslan says twice, as if history and society is very personal and the rules of fairness are subjective and psychological...?

and the other one is where the King says "When there is hunger in the land, act as if you have fed well, while eating nothing. Be cheerful, visible and active. Feel yourself to be the hungriest, but been seen as prospering. This is what your people need." or something like that.

it seemed both wise, because it prolly would inspire his people, they would feel things were not so bad, but if the King were obviously starving then they might just all give up, and it seemed noble because nobody would ever know of his own real sacrifices.

I Know, right? It bothered me. His hair was lighter too and I didn't like the fact that it seemed like Lucy flirted with him a bit. I also wasn't a fan of how they changed umm lets see...EVERYTHING! in the movie.

that's my spiel, tata for now

well, it seems to me that studios now believe they have to add (a) battle scenes and (b) hot romance to their scripts, whatever the book may have said. just take the way they expanded Arwen's role in LOTR. not that she should have been unimportant, but they had to cut out other stuff to build up her role.
