> Have you seen The Chronic Ills of Nurdia, yet? All sorts of conservative christian allegory are woven into the C. S. Lewis story; unchallenging, sanitized Disney pablum for Conservatively reared kids and parents who don't mind turning their brains off for 2 1/2 hours.I don't quite understand the seemingly, erm, religious antangonism to Narnia. I thought it was an OK movie, not as good as some of the better Potter films, but it's a first effort, and targeted at a somewhat younger crowd.
It seems that, with a certain segment of the population, a simple formula exists:
Anything by Disney == BAD
Anything sympathetic to Christianity == BAD
Anything that bugs Pat Robertson == GOODOK, I might agree with the last one, but really, compairing Narnia's (seemingly) simplistic morality to Potter's *slightly* more complicated version seems disingenuous.
Think about it:
Voldemort == Ice Queen/Jadis (She has a more complicated history in the books)
Harry == Peter
Hermionie == Lucy
Ron == Edmund (More or less)Hmmm, seperation from parents, relying on onself, evil==bad, friendship==good, jealousy, betrayal, magic... Yeah, Potter is so much more advanced a movie ;)
