Narnia

Christmas Parties Galore. That sums up my weekend. But I also saw the Narnia movie.

I really like the Narnia movie. What I have always found interesting about that story is that C S Lewis was writing it as an allegory of the gospel. So its appropriate to look for parallels in it to the bible and christianity. And CSLewis was such a deep thinker that all kinds of neat things come out when you think about how the story plays out.

For instance when Lucy first enters Narnia it is this huge mysterious exciting place. She is filled with wonder. It strikes me that it is the same as someone discovering for the first time that there really is a supernatural - God exists in this universe of ours. The world theyve been living in becomes - different. Some how more Grand just by that knowledge.

Others like Edmund discover this same wider universe but they happen upon its sinister side instead of the good.

Either way you must soon discover that a war is going on.

Almost every scene in the movie portray's some piece of the gospel. If you've seen the movie what was your favorite scene was and what do you think its deeper meaning was???
