I took the girls uptown to see Prince Caspian tonight. I had read The Magician's Nephew and The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe to Kylee and Makenna, but we had not read Prince Caspian.We enjoyed the movie. I do hope we didn't bother the family two rows in front of us too much, as the girls did have quite a few questions as they tried to understand all that was happening. I'm not an expert movie-understander by any means, so their crutch itself was slightly lame. After a bit of a slow and slightly confusing (to a lame crutch) start, it moved along quite well. Definitely not one of my favorite movies, but I did like it.
Four things:
- I always enjoy going up to the Nappanee Theatre to see movies. It brings back many fond memories of my childhood.
- This is the first time I have taken my twins daughters to a movie theatre as seven-year-olds. I was wondering if it might be the first time I would take them to a movie and NOT have at least one of them crawl onto my lap. I'm happy to say the streak still stands.
- (Not really much of a spoiler alert) My favorite bit of symbolism in the movie is a scene in which Lucy is standing beside Aslan and the sword-wielding mouse, Reepicheep. The injured mouse is brought before them. Even with the Mighty Aslan standing beside her, Lucy is the one who rushes to the mouse's side to use the gift of healing that Aslan had given her.
- Shoot, I forgot the fourth thing.
