One of the best films of 2005!

Rating: 10/10 (20 June 2006)

It's a portrait of cinematographic excellence!
Four children are sent to live in the countryside for the duration of a war, in order to keep safe. While at the estate of their caretaker, the youngest child discovers a wardrobe that leads into an alternate world in which a prophecy holds that she and the rest of her siblings are destined to come and save the people of Narnia from the rule of an evil white witch who calls herself the queen of Narnia (and is played to perfection by the icy Tilda Swinton). Many elements in the film are very similar to Christian belief, for instance the Lion can be thought to be representative of Jesus Christ if you look within the context.
The soundtrack is especially exquisite, especially that one song by Alanis Morrissette and that 'I can't take it all in' song.
Jim Broadbent and Liam Neeson co-star.
