The beavers were pretty good too :-) <BR/><BR/>I was a little bothered by the departures from the book but agree that the major themes that needed to be there, were. <BR/><BR/>I also wish the White Witch had been a little more -- evil of eye and visage. And I wanted the Professor to be more -- sage? Dignified? I don't know. But these are quibbles; I really did enjoy the movie, and was moved by it, actually, for Lewis' sake.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441809988487585009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9661811.post-1134949118027916272005-12-18T18:38:00.000-05:002005-12-18T18:38:00.000-05:00Oh, Lucy was perfect, wasn't she?

There were only a couple of moments during the battle scenes when I thought of the scant treatment they got in the book and wondered whether they had ramped it all up a bit too much. (But they had to show off all that wonderful costuming and special effects work by the WETA crew!) I've heard they've greenlighted the production of <I>Prince Caspian</I>, so there's more to look forward to.<BR/><BR/>I'm taking my Girl Scout troop to see it tomorrow.

I often had chills and was overwhelmed with excitement remember this book that I read many times years ago. It is a great story as are all of teh books. When I read the article by Steven D.

If Peter, Edmund, Susan and Lucy were to become kings and queens of Narnia they couldn't return to England. They had to trust that Aslan would make them adequate where they were extremely inadequate. God has huge plans for us if we will trust, take the risk and face the danger leaving behind the comfortable and the safe.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441809988487585009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9661811.post-1134751958733713582005-12-16T11:52:00.000-05:002005-12-16T11:52:00.000-05:00Thank you husband for your posting, even though I ...Thank you husband for your posting, even though I do not read them all, I have confidence in your Christian vision. Thank you also for stating my feelings about so many things in a much better way than I ever could. About the movie: My mind was constantly turned to biblical themes concerning sin, the price of our redemption, our redemption, and the joy we will someday share with the Master Planner...and I worshiped Him!Martin LaBarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14629053725732957599noreply@blogger.com
