Unanswered Relationship Questions in SC?
Posted: Aug 10, 2017 2:21 pm
In NarniaWeb's recent interview on the Talking Beasts podcast, screenwriter David Magee discussed the process of developing the script for SC. At around the 2:30 mark, Magee said that there are relationship questions that don't actually get answered in the book, and that these were explored in subsequent drafts of the script after the initial treatment that followed the book exactly. Any ideas of what he might be talking about?
1. One thought that comes to mind is that we never find out what Rilian's mother was trying to tell him as she lay dying, or why she might have had knowledge about the LotGK that every other Narnian did not.
2. Another possibility is the fact that Puddleglum talks about how the other wiggles have told him to take a more serious look on life and that the journey to the north is sure to do just that, but we never see the reaction of Puddleglum's grim brethren after his return to Narnia.
