Biblical Symbolism

Rating: 10/10 (9 May 2006)

The movie was absolutely amazing, it was truly moving, with a wonderful score and true essence. I was rather disappointed of the comments people have made on this movie here at IMDb, since many missed the whole Biblical Symbolism that the movie wanted to represent. C.S. Lewis was a Christian Author, and the symbolism is very present in the movie, for example Christ Crucifixion, Death, Resurrection and Assention by Aslam being killed, then he was resurrected, and left at the end of the movie with the promise we will see him again. Also the stone table being cracked, same as in the Bible but it was not a stone table. Jesus is also represented in the Bilbe as a Lion from the Tribe of Judah. Or how about a girl out of curiosity opening up the wardrobe, which has a tree on it, and opening up another world (same in the Bible, Eve eating from the tree of good and evil and opening up this world to a new one, a sinful world). There are many more as well, but for now this will do. The whole point of the movie or the novel is to teach an important lesson, and I hate it that it is always compared to LOTR or Harry Potter, which have absolutely nothing good for our kids to teach morally except to entertain them to death.
The movie I give 10/10, it is truly remarkable and can't wait till the next Narnia movie will come out in 2007.
God bless.
