The Last Battle *Spoiler*

And I love the reference in the very end: "And as He spoke, He no longer looked to them like a lion..." To me, I look at that and always see Jesus standing before the Pevensie children, no longer in the appearance of a Lion, but appearing to them just as He is.

yes, that was so beautiful.

dying sounds really bad, but it isn't. all of them are in the best place you could ever imagine. only susan is alive, and being alive seems very bad at the end of the book.
 
I will forever hold to the thought that Susan will go to the real Narnia when it is her time. :)

And I am kind of glad Lewis left it like that. He described just enough so that we could 'see it' but left the end a bit more open, so it does not seem final at all. In fact, it feels (and Aslan mentions it in a way), like the beginning. The closing of one chapter, and the opening of a book that has no ending, yet each page will have a new amazing adventure.
 
I was reading the posts from the beginning of the thread and I started to wonder....Do you think all of us who are obsessed (ahem, should I say big fans) of Skandar, William, Anna, and Georgie, still like them by that time? I mean some of us would, but do you know how old they will be when that movie (if ever made) comes out? I was just wondering that because Will would be like in his late 20's I'm guessing....and Skandar would be in his early 20's, I think, depending on how fast they make the movies (once again if made, but why wouldn't they continue a Chronicles?) I was just thinking that...you know we may not even like them then!(scary thought, I know)
anyways that was just my opinion!
Oh and it is sad that they die!! i read it and was like, NO WAY!! :(

Go back and reconsider Aslan's words to the children on the very last page of the book:

Yes!! That's actsactly how I pictured it! All through the books I was always wondering when he was going to reveal his true self in appearance to the children. I think that's what made me cry the most at the end. Knowing that they all got to see who Aslan realy is! Happy Easter by the way.

yes, i completely agree!

how are they going to do the last page (new chapters of a book and stuff)
i hope they are going to use a narrator, what do all of you think?
And i hope they will not show the transformation of Aslan.

HAPPY EASTER TO ALL OF YOU

Though fictional stories, they will always be treasured in my heart and enjoyable for years and years to come, much like LOTR (I hear Christopher Lee reads LOTR at least once every single year). Maybe I can keep the tradition of an annual read for both going. :D

Happy Easter to you too. He is risen!

I think that maybe they should have a narrator read directly from the book for the last page. And I think when Aslan's talking, they should should him and then let the camera drift away and maybe show a goldenish light coming from where he was standing. Then, they should just let the camera drift over all of narnia and some animals and such before ending. Oooh. I love the end sooo much.

yes, something like that, and then you have to see the faces of everyone changing from normal happy to extreme happy (if you understand)

according to this timeline they die:
Eustace: 16, CtN timeline
Jill: 16, CtN timeline
Peter: 22, CtN timeline
Edmund: 19, CtN timeline
Lucy: 17, CtN timeline
Digory: 61, CtN timeline
Polly: 60, CtN timeline
 
I don't think it's 8 years. Maybe 4ish I think.
LWW to PC is a year.
PC to VDT is less than a year
VDT to SC is umm, let's go with year.
And from SC to LB is I can't remember.

So, about 4ish. Maybe 5.

Yeah, they really do and we're gonna have to watch it. But don't worry. It is a both happy and sad ending. Aslan leads them to a new paradise and its great. It really is when the world ends. :p

It's my fave to. But I don't remeber if it says. But even if it doesn't I'm pretty sure it calls peter a man. But then, it calls Lucy a girl so.... I don't know.

In LB, Peter is 22, Lucy is 17*, and Edmund is 18.



And Susan would be 21, Polly is 60, and Digory is 61.

*=This means that Jill and Eustace are 15 or 16
