You have one really interesting synopsis here. And it's really detailed and mostly I found it pretty accurate.
There were lots of differences between the book and the movie, but that's excpected. If it would have been done like the book, it probably wouldn't have been such a good movie. I don't mean that the book isn't good, the books are fantastic, but some things just don't work on films as they work in books.
I actually kind of liked that it was so different, it was like i had heard the story all over again.
In the end I think they managed to keep the movie with a narnian feel in it. Of course it's different from what it was in the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, so was Narnia itself. As for the narnians reactions, I think that they shouldn't have been angry at the pevencies for leaving, but the suspicion about Caspian because he was a telmarine was pretty realistic change I think. And the Pevencies, Edmund and Lucy were prettymuch as they had always been although Edmund is a bit more blunt in the movie than in the book. And Peter, well his characters change might have gone a bit over the head, but on the other hand he ahd just year ago returned from Narnia where he was an adult and a king to England where he returned to his fourteen year old body and is just a schoolboy again. I would imagine it would rile about him quite a lot. And when he finally gets back to Narnia he finds it very different from what it was. He must have been very confused. And I kind of like that they have made it so in the movie, even if they exaggarated a bit. I don't know about Susan, she's always been a bit distant character for me, but the part where the girls were with Aslan in the book, that would have been nice to have in the movie. I would've liked to see Bacchus and his people.
Okay, I think this was it, I tend to drabble a bit more than what I intented. But anywayas I said, I liked your synopsis, it was very interesting to read.

If you don't know what to do with it, you haven't read the guidelines. They state that all non-fanfiction must go to FictionPress instead. They have a section just for essays, where this one will go nicely. Please move it there, thank you. :)

Thanks for your review of the movie and discussion of its differences with the book. I don't know how long it'll stay up here (since it's not an actual story), but I liked reading it.

One other probable difference between the book and the movie: in the movie, the Telmarines apparently invade Narnia shortly after the Pevensies stumble back through the wardrobe at the end of their reign in "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe". The book doesn't say how much time intervened between the end of the Pevensies' reign and the Telmarine invasion, but there is a strong hint that there was a lot of time between them: Aslan's How. Peter and Edmund recognize it as having been built after their reign (apparently the Stone Table was still above ground by the time that they left while hunting the White Stag), and we can safely assume that the Old Narnians didn't build it while hiding from the Telmarines in the woods. So there must have been a long period of peace between the Pevensies' departure and the Telmarine Conquest, long enough for Aslan's How to be raised.

One change that I'm glad the movie made was having Prunaprismia being one of the Telmarines to volunteer to go through the door between the worlds back to the South Sea island. It sews up a loose end in the book that Lewis didn't address.

Wow, you weren't kidding about it being detailed...

How many times did you see the movie?

I did like the new movie and I liked the book,the movie was more action packed because if you think about it,the first half of the book is alot of explaining about who Caspian is .Now if you go to a movie you want to see some action right? course you there was no point of them going back and forth from Caspian and to Trumpkin explaining to the kids who Caspian they cut alot of stuff out and put other stuff in. As for Peter's fight C.S. Lewis left alot of stuff open no one knows just how it was when the kids went back.

Yep, I really enjoyed the movie as well. But, there are a few things that were incorrect.

First, Peter fought in the Underground because one of the boys bumped into him and tried to make Peter apologize. Frankly, I wanted to hit the boys.

Second, Trufflehunter was the one who replied to Edmund's "Neither are you." I think he said something about reuniting in the face of a common enemy..

Third, Lucy asked why the war council was treating the issue as if dying in Miraz's Castle or dying here was the only choice.

And.. I'm not so sure, but I think Miraz's wife actually fired the crossbow and hit Caspian. During the chaos Miraz slips away, leaving behind his wife(who looked as if she was nearly hysterical).

Fourth, it was Nikabrik who twisted(?) Lucy's arm. The werewolf was engaged in a fight with Edmund.

Fifth, Lucy said to Peter that "Maybe we're the ones who need to prove ourselves to Him." I don't really remember other things though..;;

Also, it was Caspian who proposed the idea of exploiting the expectations Miraz has to fill as the king for the people. I was yelling inside my head that time.. 'Ooh~ Caspian's finally starting to take an active role since the four arrived!'

This is important. Edmund recited the whole traditional challenge letter(had so many titles..;;) to Miraz, and goaded the king(the Lords, of course, had a big part in this. You got this right) into accepting. I think this scene was what reflected Edmund as a great diplomat during the Golden Age. Also, Miraz says "You better hope your brother's sword is as sharp as his tongue.".. or something like that anyway- -;;

And Susan was the one who hugged Peter during the break in the duel.

Moreover, Lord Sosepian was the one who killed Miraz with Susan's arrow. That way, he could claim that Narnians did not keep their honour. I think you confused Glozelle with Sosepian actually..

OK, the whole 'Peter and Susan can't come back to Narnia anymore' dialogue started when Caspian says he will take good care of the sword until Peter comes back. After that, it's the same dialogue as you wrote.

""Oh no," she says, frowning. She turns to Edmund. "Quick! Pretend to talk to me!" Edmund glances at her, confused. "We are talking to you," he answers." This.. happened before the four went to Narnia.

But, all in all, it was a pretty good synopsis In fact, some of the dialogues in there was really word for word. And please note that I didn't write this review to flame you, but to correct the mistakes. Of course, I'm not 100% sure of the corrections either, such as the exact sentence or something like that. But I'm quite sure that after some correcting this synopsis will become even better

Wow...you sure went to a lot of effort there. I thought you might enjoy a "short" comment. Although the movie is very different from the book (of which I am also a huge fan), I am studying screenwriting, and can see why they would make some of those decisions. I think we all have to admit, that although the book is fantastic, it would not work well translated directly to film.

Films are all about action, and in the novel, there isn't much, so they have to add all that in, to hold the attention of the audience.

It's also true that Susan and Lucy were much less involved in the battle (I read somewhere that the actress who played Susan had asked to be more involved in the action. One of the often-heard criticisms of the first books in the Narnia series is that the female characters do not get to do much.)

I don't think the romantic element between Susan and Caspian worked well, but when you take puberty into account (which C.S Lewis didn't, really, since the books were basically a metaphor for christianity), it seems natural that there would be some feeling between them.

Also, the changes made to Peter's character are simply looking at him from another perspective. In Narnia, he was an adult, in a position of power, and then he had to go back to being a kid. How would you feel? Again, the negative reactions of the Narnians to Caspian seems more realistic to me. The Telmarines are responsible for their near extinction, I wouldn't trust Caspian at first either.

There's a couple more, but in general, every time they differ from the book, it's about what's best for the film. Overall,I think the film is actually brilliant, and the book is too. In my mind, it doesn't matter that they are faithful to the events and characters of the books, as long as they stick to the core themes, which in this case would be things like "Good triumphing over evil", "Magic and nature versus technology", "Faith in yourself and others", stuff like that.

I think they've done that rather well, don't you?
