bedlamsbardLWW is a fucking beautiful, brilliant piece of film-making, and they have mastered that marvelous feat of showing, not telling. It's astonishing how little is actually said during the first fifteen minutes of the movie, but just how much actually comes across.
What, it's Christmas Eve, Father Christmas shows up in the movie, it's totally seasonal. Also, evidence of how long since the last time I watched it: I found my missing digital camera software installation CD in the DVD case, where I'd stashed it to keep it safe the last time I was in transit. In January. Of 2010.
*shakes head* Gods and Muses, that is a beautiful piece of film-making, and I think it's not out of line to say it's probably the best book-to-movie adaptation I've ever seen. Beats Harry Potter out of the water, to be sure. And the sense of wonder! And Tilda fucking Swinton, man; they use her in PC and VotDT, and you forget just how goddamn terrifying the White Witch is in LWW. She is a masterpiece.
Also, omg, they are so little! (And my dad asked if they actually were siblings, because apparently they do, in fact, look alike.)
