Caspian Reigns
I enjoyed this film very much. I am certainly aware of many deviations from Lewis's story; still I thought it captured the essentials: Faith, Trust, Hope, and even Charity in the face of opposition, temptation, and despair. Peter returns to Narnia and tries to regain its freedom as a work of his own. Much like King Saul in Scripture, he is filled with pride and doomed to failure without the help of Aslan (Our Lord, the Rock); once he becomes aware of this he seeks his help, and with the help of his brother, sisters, Caspian, Aslan and the Narnians, finally succeeds (actually it is Aslan who completes the work). At the finish, with humility he passes on his sword to Caspian who rightfully assumes the throne he thought he was to regain. The film was superbly directed and acted. I give it five stars.
