哭笑不得

   電影和原著大相逕庭。而且若是先看了電影，都會打消找來原著看看的念頭。
   在原著的Intro and Dedication中，C. S. Lewis這樣寫：

「To: Lucy Barfield

My dear Lucy,

I wrote this story for you, but when I began it I had not realized that the girls grow quicker than books. As a result, you are already too old for fairy tales. And by the time it is printed and bound, you'll be older still.
 
But someday, you'll be old enough to start reading fairy tales again. You can then take it down from some upper shelf, dust it, and tell me what you think of it. I shall probably be too deaf to hear, and too old to understand the word you say. But I shall still be your affectional godfather.

C. S. Lewis」

   我相信《納尼亞》的原著的確會讓很多人在長大成人之後再去找來重讀一遍，甚至不止一遍。
   樂觀的說，電影《納尼亞1》也許也會多少勾起一些人想看原著的念頭。
   但是，影片《納尼亞2》恐怕只會勾起人們重看《魔戒》的衝動。

   唉，如此一部令我哭笑不得的電影。
