The Chronicles of Narnia

Recently I read an article in the Akron Beacon Journal that totally slammed the movie "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe – Chronciles of Narnia." It made the film out to be poorly produced and poorly directed etc. I already wanted to see the movie, but this actually made me want to see it more…so I did!

The movie was awesome! It was beautifully woven together. It was an excellent story. It told the story of the world of Narnia. It was well put together. The animated animals look so real. There were a few parts that the background scenes were fake…you could tell. But for the most part everythign look so real…you were actually in the land of Narnia.

From a Christians perspective the movie portrays a powerful message. It tells the story of our Savior in a powerful way. Yes, it is a fiction story…but it is loaded with parrallels to the Gospel Story! There were moments I was so taken and moved by the movie that I almost cried.

The final battle is superb. Awesome creatures and awesome warfare. It was done very tastefully. You new the battle was going on, but the violence was kept to a minimum…well done!

The witch was an awesome portrayal of evil. Superb acting on her part.

Overall this movie is worthy to be seen buy all ages. If you like fantasy and fiction this is appealing. If you like religion then there is somethign for you. If you simply like animation or battle scenes or good verses evil…then this movie is a winner.

I hope you will go see the movie. Narnia could simply entertain you…but it may lead you to the one true King – Jesus Christ!

Additionally – C.S. Lewis has written other books outside of the Chronicles of Narnia. I would encourage all to read "Mere Christianity" it will make you think…it is a very profound book.

God bless all! And Long Live the King – Jesus Christ!
