Woo hoo! Was wondering when we'd hear more about a Dawn Treader film. So exciting!

Posted by Puffy Treat (Member # 7210) on :

Good. Though the article's griping about the story lacking a clear antagonist worries me. Why have they been programmed to believe all fantasy films need a Big Bad? It's a different kind of story, with more personal, internal conflicts. Harrumph. [Wink]

I have to admit that the personal, internal conflicts of grammar school children doesn't really entice me.

[Big Grin]

I'd love to see a movie about two siblings and their snotty cousin who are whisked away to a fantastic world of danger and magic.

::sigh:: Here we go again...

I liked the movie. I forgave the children, and I saw it as a movie about courage. All is possible when you have courage - I bought myself a little sword from the movie to keep on my desk at all times to remind me of that lesson. I thought it was a beautiful movie.

Would you love to see a stock villain shoehorned into that, though?

Why does the article see the lack of one as a weakness? I find the conflicts in VDT to be far more interesting without one.

I agree Puffy.

Have you read the books Armoth? My nostalgia told me that they were great; however, the movies were not up to par.

Posted by Armoth (Member # 4752) on :

Yup. When I was a kid. I didn't like the first movie - I wasn't even going to see Caspian. But after being dragged to the theater, I was pleasantly surprised.

I'm very glad to see this going again! Dawn Treader is one of my favourites of the series.

As for a lack of a clear antagonist, Eustace provides one for a while, along with the very perils of the sea and the fears of sailing over the edge of the world! How are we lacking an antagonist? We need to learn how to do high adventure again.
