chapter 5
Percival is clinging to the comfort of his home identity. He repeats what his parents have taught to him in case he is lost. The irony here isn't lost on anyone! Slowly little Percival will forget his old address all together.
Not fully sure of the significance..... especially when I spoke those lines in the film. I suppose Aslan's anser is spot on.....
Cheers, Kent Fletcher, Corcallis OR
I can't believe this! Are you really the Kent Fletcher who was in The Lord of the Flies? You're in one of my favorite parts of the move. At the end where you approach the officer but can't remember your name and address. There's something about that scene, I don't know what it is but it's just amazing. My other favorite is the close up of Ralph at the end where he's tearing up and then lowers his head as he breaks into sobs. I think the music adds a lot to that too.
