Well, Mortals, unless you feel like dodging snowballs, which I don't, I guess you all know by now that Disney/Walden's Narnia thing opens this Friday. Basically, everybody's going on and on and on over whether or not this is a kid-sized Passion of the Christ. PLEASE! It's an action-adventure/sci-fi/philosophy movie with overtones of Medieval-Renaisance fantasy/World War II/end-of-the-world concepts.
So why is ol' Blackwolf saying this about the Narnia movie? I saw Bill Melendez' 1979 animated version of this story, and I still have yet to figure it out. The concept of a lion dying for another's sins continues to --- dare I say it! --- freak me out, and I wonder if, frankly, the film will succeed as it was intended to succeed: namely, in terms of one treating it as a major motion picture, which was the filmmakers' intent in the first place.
Figuring out Narnia requires an in-depth journey, not only of the film itself, let alone the original books, but also of Narnia.com --- and, needless to say, there be but one Mage capable of making the journey. So...... I guess I pick .... well, me! (Heh-heh!) When I've had a proper peek at the site, I'll let you all know if the journey was worth making you see the film.
