The feature film The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, directed by Andrew Adamson, is a fantasy film that tells the adventures of four children Pevensie in a mystical land. The film explores the Christian theme of sacrifice and the ideals of familial love, loyalty and the triumph of good over evil. Aslan, Peter and Edmund Pevensie work to develop these themes. Through the filmic language used to build the characters, Adamson reveals the importance of being courageous, selfless and loving. Edmund is characterized as a selfish and disloyal boy who must learn to be a better person. Adamson shows viewers exactly how disloyal Edmund is in the scene where he is first confronted by the White Witch. He is tempted by Turkish delight and the fact that he could become the prince of Narnia. However, in exchange, he had to bring his brothers to the Ice Castle. Around the White Witch, Edmund is seen as weak, vulnerable and easily manipulated as he is easily tempted by "sweet treats" (Turkish Delight). Adamson showed Edmund's flaws by filming him from a high angle and getting close to him. This helps make him look weak and vulnerable while eating the "candy". In the scene where Edmund and Mr. Tumnus are held captive by the White Witch in the dungeon, only then does Edmund realize what he is doing. Adamson uses close-ups to help identify the character's emotions through facial expressions. He uses it to show the sadness and disappointment on Mr. Tumnus' faces when he learns that it was Edmund (the brother of the lovely Lucy) who betrayed him and led to his death (Mr. Tumnus is not dead, he was turned to stone and returned to normal by Aslan). It is after this that Edmund changes to... middle of paper... on the other hand, Aslan's army is full of mythological heroes such as centaurs. The dragon of Saint George is imprinted on Peter's shield, testifying to the Christian faith. Peter also rides a unicorn which is seen as a graceful and mystical creature symbolizing purity, magic and awe. When Aslan appears on the mountain overlooking the battle scene, he is backlit by the bright sky. This reveals him as a brilliant and noble creature. In this way viewers can identify Aslan's army with good and Jadis' army with evil. Narnia, directed by Andrew Adamson, explores the Christian theme of sacrifice as well as motifs of loyalty, familial love and the triumph of good over evil. Aslan, Peter and Edmund contribute to the development of these themes. Adamson used cinematic language to construct the characters and themes of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
