The Chronic (WHAT?!) -les of Narnia

I liked it. More than I thought I would actually.

I loved the Narnia books when I read them at, oh, I don't know... I think I was 11 maybe? And when the movie hit theaters, I was surprised to hear all the hubbub about the Christian undertones. But now that I've seen it, I see what I didn't in my pre pubescent years. Yes, C.S. Lewis was a Christian. And yes, that does translate into the books and the movie. But if he hadn't written other religious material, would people read as much into it? My guess is probably not. After all, if you look closer, you also find touches of Norse and Greek mythology as well.

Fuck it. I LOVED this movie. I loved the books. Daughter of Eve... or not.
