Saw "Prince Caspian" today, the second Narnia movie. This one was a lot more serious, gritty, violent. Not so much a children's movie, though there was nothing graphic. I really liked it. The religious themes were much more subtle, even obscure. Certainly nothing like the blatant spiritual subtext in "The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe." Even now, based on this movie, I'm not sure what spiritual points C. S. Lewis was making, so I'm wondering how true the book is to the movie or how hard they tried to incorporate his religious themes. But hey--it was a good movie. And when Aslan finally appeared, I about had tears in my eyes.

About Me
Career-wise, I've been hanging around and writing about and cheering on churches and pastors for the past 25 years as my denomination's Communications Director.I write primarily for my own amusement. If anyone wants to eavesdrop, they're welcome to it. My heartbeat is serving God faithfully through the local church. But my posts repeatedly stray into sports, politics, movies, and other nonsense.
I've been blogging since 2004, and it's been fun. Please understand that, though I work for the United Brethren in Christ denomination, the nonsense I spew out here comes from my own semi-functional brain in a totally personal, non-official capacity. Yes, that's a disclaimer.
About this Entry
I have been wanting to see this movie. I had heard on the radio that the spiritual overtones were more so in this movie than the first. I guess it depends on what your looking for. I look forward to taking a look for myself.
