The feature film The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, directed by Andrew Adamson is a fantasy film which tells the adventures of four Pevensie children in a mystical land. The film explores the Christian theme of sacrifice and the ideals of family love, loyalty and the triumph of good over evil. Aslan, Peter and Edmund Pevensie work to develop these themes. Through the cinematic language used to construct 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 become a better person. Adamson shows viewers 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 return, he had to bring his siblings to the Ice Castle. Around the White Witch, Edmund is perceived as weak, vulnerable and easily manipulated because he is easily tempted by “sweets” (Turkish treats). Adamson showed Edmund's flaws by filming him from a high camera angle and getting close to him. This helps him appear weak and vulnerable while he eats the "candy". In the scene where Edmund and Mr. Tumnus are held prisoner by the White Witch in the dungeon, it is only then that Edmund realizes what he is doing. Adamson uses close-ups to help identify the character's emotions through facial expressions. He uses this to show the sadness and disappointment on Mr. Tumnus's faces when he learns that it was Edmund (the brother of the lovely Lucy) who betrayed him and led him to his death (Mr. Tumnus did not die, he was turned to stone and returned to normal by Aslan). It is after this that Edmund transforms into... middle of paper...... On the other hand, Aslan's army is filled with mythological heroes like the centaurs. Peter's shield has the St. George dragon printed on it, which shows the Christian faith. Peter also rides a unicorn which is considered a graceful and mystical creature that symbolizes 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. Viewers can thus 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 the motifs of loyalty, familial love and the triumph of good over evil. Aslan, Peter and Edmund participate in the development of these themes.
