Must See : The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

[imabtch]

I think Philip Pullman has got a FAR bigger agenda than CS Lewis ever had. Pot... kettle.... black...

Much of what he has said re. Narnia is absurd at best. There was a good study done on this in the US Chronicle of Higher Education, from what I can work out kind of a Times Ed Supplement but as a periodical. It's certainly NOT a right wing / Christian mouthpiece, and it examines Pullman's claims. And pretty well rips them to pieces.

Super film, but I think that the actor of Peter is a real let down.

I've never known such a terrible actor be so in love with himself.

[§§Mad Banke®§§]

yeah i know - he was a let down, his brother was a lot better - how good was the little girl - she was really good..

never liked the bit at the very end where they were like in there 30s/40s :s

since its a chronicle - i'm guessing we're getting another one next year ???

Mmh, you might well be right there.
Thanks for that link - I'll read it on the way to work tomorrow. I don't think, though, that anything will be proved one way or the other. What I find interesting, personally, about the rebuttals of Pulman's claims by some Christian groups is that the very blindness that he accuses them of, the rigidity of the faith-based perspective, always lets down the argument eventually.
But I'm open to fresh discussion, honest

I cant wait to see this film. I adored the book as a youngster and thought the televised versions haven't done it justice. Is it true to the book?

Perhaps you are right, I'm not sure. I suppose the books mean different things to different people. I always saw him as a symbol of Jesus because he sacrificed himself for the sin of another, and was resurrected. But then in The Magician's Nephew he does come across as God, because he creates Narnia. On thinking about it, I don't think he is a fixed representation of either. I think he generally represents goodness.

Whichever way, I love the books!

Not sure been about 15 year since I read book but I want to read the book again...

Ive loved all the Chronicles. Silver chair i think (after lion the witch and ward- obe ) was my favorite. I had the box set when i was younger but it got lost , i was looking on EBay but they are going for loaRAB of money at the moment hence the film.
