What should the theme of the Silver Chair be in the movie?

I thought this could be an interesting topic as I've seen Glumpuddle repeated mention SC is about Jill having trust issues. I'm not saying GP is wrong at all, but I definitely have a different opinion.
For me, there are two major themes that go hand in hand. First, from a religious perspective, it's about Aslan causing things to work the way he intended In spite of Jill failing to remember the signs (though things probably would have gone a lot more smoothly for her if she had followed them as instructed ).
The second from a human perspective is overcoming fear and obeying Aslan's signs no matter the cost. I can certainly see a trust element here, but it's not limited to Jill. When confronting the stranger tied to the Silver Chair, it's not Jill that chooses to save him. Nor is it Jill that confronts the Green Lady.
Anyways, I was just curious what other people thought. It's always so interesting to see the things people get out of a story that I may have missed.
