 ”I think you have to remember that it’s part of this whole thru line of moments that has to kind of ease off and you can’t be too earnest and intense about it all the time,” Barnes adds, “But I think that’s probably something that takes years to get used to, the difference and being able to flip between the two, because most of my experience is on stage. But I’m really looking forward to doing more in the film world, seeing how I get on.” However, Barnes said that the two worlds collided when his opportunity to do Prince Caspian had come after scoring a major break on the National Theatre production of The History Boys. “It was a very difficult period for me actually, more difficult than I let on at the time, I think,” Ben recalls, “It’s always been my dream to work in the National Theatre, but when you’re British and an actor and your ten years own and you’re working in the National Theatre with your parents and that’s the pinnacle of all acting really.

We asked Ben what felt was the kind of message the title character conveys to the audience. “What I like about Caspian is that it’s not too spoon-feedy,” he replies, “There’s not one particular moral message that comes to the fore, but there are good lessons in there. I mean, there’s moments where he makes mistakes and you learn about his regret of those mistakes and that’s when he has to trust other people around him in their ideas and learn to kind of concede. And then, there’s this sort of overarching message that is believing in something that is greater than yourself and that nature is the thing that saves the day in the end.” However, one aspect he’s particularly fascinated by is its parallels to World War II, which had been going on prior to the books being written. “When these ... |
