The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
The final message?
In the end, the choice to adapt Wardrobe faithfully allows audiences to read anything they want into the story, just as readers have for decades. Swinton, for instance, believes Wardrobe isn't a timeless spiritual parable, but a timely political one. ''For my money, it's about the imagination of the war child,'' she says. Douglas Gresham, artistic director of the C.S. Lewis Co. and the late author's stepson, is happy to spell out his interpretation. ''This movie will bring back to the forefront of people's minds the great values that the twentieth century threw away. Chivalry. Honor. Duty. Commitment. Personal courage,'' says Gresham. ''What the world needs now is The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe!''
