It'd be interesting to hear others' thoughts on this topic too - do you think bringing out the WW2 theme enhances or detracts from the story of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe? Have you seen other adaptations that do this, and do you think Netflix ought to do something along those lines too?
I hadn't quite thought of that, but it does underscore the fact that Lewis WASN'T trying to make the real-life war a thematic element of the story. An inventive and fun take on the story, but it gave it quite a different overall "feel" from the original book - and I like your point that Britain, unlike many European countries, wasn't actually occupied by the Nazis, so the supposed parallel with Narnia's occupation doesn't really work. It was made clear that these "resistance" characters were the ones that commissioned the Beavers to find the children and direct them to Aslan. We as the audience were all given period-style "evacuee" tickets that we had to wave for effect a couple of times during the play the opening scene made a big deal of a large group of children, including the four Pevensies, being officially processed and directed to their train carriages and making a (symbolically staged) journey to their destination and throughout much of their time in Narnia, there were several invented-for-the-play "Narnian Resistance" characters (a badger, a squirrel and a couple of others I can't quite remember) popping up periodically from trapdoors in the stage to give secret reports to each other (through tin-can phones!) about the four children's progress through Narnia. Whereas the stage production I saw last year - to be fair, this was in Britain just as we're beginning to commemorate the 80th anniversary of each stage of WW2 - milked the "war" themes for all they were worth. I've only seen the movie once and don't remember that aspect of it very well, but I agree it wasn't something that resonated throughout the entire film. Again, it'll be interesting to see whether Netflix does anything at all in that direction. Whichever way, that also steers readers away from any sense that Narnia is a product of - or a projection of - the children's imagination. And he was writing this book only five years after the actual war ended, so it's not as if it was a distant memory for him or for many of his readers!! But either it didn't occur to him to make any comparison between the recent real-life war and Narnia's struggle, or he deliberately avoided doing so.
He mentions "the war" once in the second sentence of the first chapter of the book and makes absolutely zero references to it thereafter. That is a fairly obvious connection and I'm not surprised to see modern interpretations of LWW making a big deal of it, but the fact is that Lewis himself doesn't do that at all. Posted by: was one aspect of the 2019 theatre production] that also came somewhat into the 2005 film of LWW, but this stage version emphasised it even more - drawing very clear parallels between the war the children are experiencing as WW2 evacuees, and the war of resistance that the Narnians are fighting against the White Witch. I'd just like to copy over the relevant parts of posts in the previous thread so that others can see what's been brought up so far on this topic - I hope this is OK and won't make this post too long: However, some adaptations of LWW - including the 2005 Walden film and a stage production in the UK in late 2019 - have made a big feature of the wartime setting and even drawn deliberate parallels between the war that the Pevensies are fleeing in their own world and the war of resistance to the White Which that they find themselves in when they enter Narnia.
Lewis doesn't make any further references to the real-life war, implicitly or explicitly, in the rest of the story or in any of the other Narnia books. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is set during the Second World War - in 1940, according to Lewis's later timeline - and we're told right at the beginning of the story that the four children were "sent away from London during the war because of the air-raids", which is how they came to be at the Professor's house. Each of the rights over the tunes would be the property of their respective owners.This is a subject that came up in another discussion (original thread here) and, as it was going off topic, it was suggested that we should start a new thread for it. When there is a damaged backlink we're not in control of it.
