Greetings, dear listeners, as we gather once again amidst the tumultuous echoes of war on the
airwaves of "Poets At War." Join hosts Joshua David Ling, Brendan Sunshine, and Alexander
Robertson as they navigate the treacherous waters of artistic creation, delving into a tale of triumph
and turmoil. In this episode, they shed light on the captivating character of The Princess Eilonwy, a
luminary figure from the cherished Chronicles of Prydain book series, whose essence was, alas, lost in
the storm surrounding the cinematic adaptation: "The Black Cauldron."
Amidst the chaos and conflicts that engulfed the film's production, our hosts courageously explore
the tumultuous journey of "The Black Cauldron," seeking to glean valuable lessons as artists in our
own literary war. Ling, Sunshine, and Robertson dissect the discrepancies between the written word
and the silver screen, unraveling the reasons why the film failed to capture the heart and soul of the
beloved books. Through this exploration, they invite us to reflect on the challenges faced during the
adaptation process, urging us to learn from past missteps and forge a brighter path forward in our
ongoing battle for the preservation of literature's essence. So, dear listeners, prepare to embark on a
thought-provoking odyssey, as we navigate the tempestuous seas of artistic creation and emerge
with renewed vigor in our pursuit of storytelling greatness.
