MOST. POWERFUL. FILM. EVER.



And i am not even a narnia fan.
Not even a fan of its genre: fantasy.
On the contrary, i actually dont like fantasy, mainly because i dont understand it or the need for it.
Anyhows, I ended up watching this movie with Chanelle and Joshua. L today @ Vivo.
WHOA.
Life-Changing flick man.
At first, i walked into the cinema with the, "i-am-only-here-for-the-free-poprcorn-and-am-not-going-to-get-anything" mentality.
So... for the first few minutes, popcorn and cheesy hotdogs were my only entertainment. And then, the story suddenly got hold of me.
I stopped eating.
Eyes fixated on the screen.
I was glued to the screen.
Literally sitting at the edge of my seat.
Yeah sure, you know, i agree, if i were to judge it purely on the cinematography or just the motion picture alone, i would have been bored to tears. (who friggin cares about the 'prisoners' taken by some green mist..???)
BUT.
It was the message behind the story that got a hold on me.
It was such a powerful message, with (for once) understandable and easy to spot symbols guilding you through the story, and leading you to the underlying meaning and theme of the story.
It was mainly such a good film for me because i felt it really mirrored the recent events in my life.
So... it made a lot of sense to me.
To me (in general) the show's about the growth in a person's spiritual life.
How God takes each and everyone of us through very difficult parts of the journey based on where we already are in it.
It speaks of the greatest battle that ever took place and is still taking place: Good vs Evil.
What i truly like about this film is the fact that it creates a visualisation of a reality that is invisible to us, humans. ( LIKE FINALLY)
Its like for once i can see the unsee-able.
The green mist of evil, used to personify the demons around us that feed us the evil thoughts in our head.
It really makes you realise the gravity of the situation.
What really is taking place everyday, which sometimes i think we are too immune or too blinded to or even too ignorant of simple because we cannot see it.
The battle of good and evil isnt cliche, its reality.
And its taking place every single day, every waking moment.
And our bodies are the living battlefields.
Wow... really puts things into perspective eh?
Okay if you really dont understand what i am saying its alright.
I had no clue what the first 2 movies were about either.
But this one is just... whoa....
Ahh... its just sucha seriously good film.
Well okay maybe not a good good film like a highly original inception or a heart-wrenching+academy award winning soundtrack Titanic, but a very personal film for me.
Either way, go watch it.
No regrets.
I know i didn't.
And i dont even like fantasy or narnia.

And of course, as with all good posts, a song.



All narnia shows have great songs, so voyage of the dawn treader is no exception.
Love this song.
Feels.... so hopeful.
