Beautiful

Rating: 10/10 (2 January 2006)

I have no words to describe it. Actually I left the movie theater a bit dizzy. That movie was one of the best ever made. It's just a pity that not everybody understands the meaning of it all. It's a big metaphor about the story that's in the largest treasure of all: the Creator's Word (commonly known as 'Bible'). I could see it through all the movie. When the Pevensies come to Narnia, it's enslaved by the white witch. It represents the world, enslaved by the devil. Aslan represents The Creator. We can see temptation, the fall of the human race, betrayal, and then come forgiveness (to Edmund, meaning to all of us), love, sacrifice (representing the sacrifice The Lord Jesus made for all of us, taking all our faults over Himself), the resurrection and how The Lord had victory in the battle against death and hell (before the sacrifice, it even shows Aslan walking alone and sad in the garden, like The Lord in the garden of Getsemani), the battle between angels and demons (it's interesting because they were all the same creatures in the beginning, but some of them surrendered to the witch), the breath of life (when Aslan breathes over the dead creatures and bring them back to life, the river that comes from the throne of the King, and etc etc etc. It's wonderful how The Lord can use anything He wants to spread the message of His Gospel. Even something like Disney. I hope this comment will help people to understand and enjoy the real meaning of that movie. C.S. Lewis was a blessed man indeed.
