BBC Chronicles of Narnia: SC - Chapter 6/6 Part 1/3

[@sal_manicuri2016]

So much ASMR in this scene 😊 Kellermans hand flutters, lilting voice and soothing gestures truly feels like she is casting a hypnotic spell. One of my favourite parts in this series

[@lisamcdonald1014]

Somehow, what did you mean?

[@SilverTounge85]

I used to hide behind the couch as a kid, when Barbara Kellerman's characters (Green Lady, White Witch, Old Hag) got angry. So damn scary. The White Witch doesn't scare me anymore, but I get the chills everytime i see the Lady of the Green Kirtle / Green Lady. I live in Norway, and they always used to broadcast the BBC series during the Christmas Holiday during the early 90's. Good memories. Was up every morning at 09:30 eating christmas candy and watching this. Great memories.

[@HerrrLuna]

Akkurat samme minner fra jul- og påskeferiene her! ^^

[@IzayoiArwena]

Yes, me too. Since they are all the same actress, i think they are all one and the same character, reincarnation maybe. And Maugrim was the werewolf, also played by the same actor! Thats why I believe that the werewolf was summoned Maugrim

Fun Fact: Barbara Kellerman, the actress who plays The Lady of the Green Kirtle, also played both The White Witch in "The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe" and the Hag in "Prince Caspian and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader".

@@roberttodd2414 Okay, that's interesting.

[@Ian_Jules]

All those who said the snake was scary when you were little, I sympathize entirely. When I was really little, it seriously scared me . Hard to believe now. Still am fond of this series. I love the design of the Underworld and the acting is so lovely sometimes. Tom Baker is wonderful, and some people find the witch hammy but I've always liked her. Whoever said there were Shakespearean/theatrical overtones nailed it. I guess you either like that or don't.

[@vvelvettearss]

dont worry it did me too. When you're too young to spot special effects and its A PHYSICAL 3 DIMENSIONAL giant snake just appearing on screen..! I had an inward "hoooly sh*t wtf is going on !? whats that thing.." moment now it just looks like a funny reptilian person xD

This actress did amazing. Barbara Kellerman was so enchanting. If she told me to I would believe the world was a dream and serve her. She is so hypnotizing as the Lady of the Green Kirtle. I’m not sure I would want to escape her spell. Rather be obedient to this beautiful lady.

[@Crusader-Ramos45]

I can’t help but feel that the Green Lady’s charms would make a soul a prisoner in a cage like in Plato’s cave story.

[@LondoninColouredRain]

Holy crap! Isn't the Lady of the Green Kirtle the same actress of the White Witch in The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe? AWESOME, I bloody loved her as the White Witch!

Can I just say how incredible Prince Rillians acting is (the actor who is Prince Rillian) and the chemistry between these two. He shows just how furious he is at her barely saying a word but keeping great dignity and bravery too. This scene is just fire

[@Dymonic]

It anyone going to comment about how Tom Baker is the best fricking thing in this scene?

[@80sDude990]

It’s funny how after Barbara Kellerman (the Green Lady) threatened Tom Baker (Puddleglum) in this scene, she didn’t like it when she perceived his heroically scathing attack on her world as threatening her.

[@jaceofheartstheprinceofbed9415]

no the Green Lady is the only interesting thing in the whole story lol

[@Melicioel7]

The Same actress plays The Lady mostly because of budget limitations. There is some hint that she might be related to The Witch - In PC they say "a witch never really dies" and in SC they point out "they're the same breed (i.e. northern witches)" . I like to think that Lewis was not done with Narnia because he left some loose ends to be explained (like I never accepted Susan's end after all once queen of Narnia, always queen of damn NARNIA

[@T--xk3hf]

I like to think that another reason why they used Kellerman more than once in the roles she was cast in was because they wanted to give a sense of unease, that all three evil women were in fact related somehow

[@80sDude990]

Lol when Rilian says to the Green Lady, “These my true friends have helped deliver me”. Then Jill pipes up, “We’d do it again too”. “AAH HA HA HA HA!” laughs the Green Lady.

[@mumble.jumbles]

It's a pity the end snake looks so silly after the Lady's compelling performance. They should have gone for a more humanoid serpent so Kellerman could have finished the scene more effectively.

I thought her voice was perfect, with a giggly, sing-song quality. Remember, they're hearing that voice while under her spell. I really like the theatrical quality about it. It's sort of old fashion. She's too funny when playing dumb for Puddleglum: "Is there a country up there... hidden in the roof?"

[@Jakegothicsnake]

Actually, Rilian's "Jesus Look" is a look that many men can easily pull off. To me, with the long dark hair and beard and the black outfit, he looks more like Cesare Borgia to me. But then again he also looks similar to Aragorn, Sirius Black, and Kili from The Hobbit films.

In the book, she threw the green dust in the fire to make the air sweet and sleepy to make it easier to cast her spell over the friends. She also had a lute, but I guess it didn't make it into the movie.

[@Lone432345]

@hermanessences This was made in the late 80's as a low budget TV Mini-Series on the BBC. So of course the Special Effects are going to look great. But The acting By Tom Baker sure makes up for it.

[@littlesongbird1]

I never realized it before but this part is a parallel to Myth of the cave.

[@bloodrunsclear]

I love how it doesn't say 'adapted from' it says 'BY C.S LEWIS'

[@80sDude990]

Adapted from CS Lewis is more like it. Where was the Green Lady’s mandolin type instrument? If she’d thrown green powder on the fire, then why have it emanate from her hands as vapour, instead of the slow, monotonous thrumming? And she knocks out Puddleglum with a wicked spell, for no apparent reason. If he was supposed to stamp out the fire, then why did he put his hand in it, crying, “Aslan! Aslan!” Also in the book, Prince Rilian struggled a lot more with the serpent, as it flung its coils around him, he narrowly escaped having his sword arm pinioned to his side. Excellent swordsmanship! Puddleglum and Eustace also helped Rilian with chopping off the snake’s head, which he’d managed to catch with his free hand. Top survival instincts! Although the triumph of good over evil was great, the killing of the snake/witch was too easy.

[@80sDude990]

That said it was sharper and better realised than in the book, when the Green Lady wanted to know who had destroyed the Silver Chair, that Prince Rilian didn’t actually own up, he just said there would be no more need of that chair. Of course in this adaptation we have, “Which one of you three, HAS DAAAARRRRED TO DESTROY THE SILVER CHAIR?!!” To which Rilian replies, “I did”. Unfortunately when the lady then laughs, especially after chilling them all to the bone with her fury, it’s hard to keep a straight face.

[@wickedfeylady]

Tom Baker is like...wow this snake is worse than the shitty monsters on DW

[@energybengt]

Agree. When the cult of personality we collectively give actors takes precedence over the stories they are serving ... it's almost like succumbing to the Green Lady's spell! :) Denying the original truths in the story. The books already prove that these stories resonate with audiences, because they speak of our collective internal world of love, truth, joy and honesty. Make a film from that same place, and you'll have the audience you desire to pay for it's making and then some. :)

David Magee has chosen as the Screenwriter for the film, he was Oscar nominated for 'Finding Neverland' and 'Life of Pie', then soon after they Announced that they want a name for the lady of the green Kirtle. Over a year ago, Mark Gordon said it's going to be a 'Brand new franchise'. The film has funding, the film will be distributed by Sony and Entertainment One and it will be financed by Tristar and Eone. Douglas Gresham hopes to start Pre-production early this year. They don't have a director yet. We still don't know if any of the original actors will return.
