Best film this year.

Rating: 10/10 (6 March 2006)

From someone who was born during the second world war in England, I loved it. I have never read the book, so can't comment on its adaptation to the big screen. But to me, the screenplay really was wonderful and magical. Can't wait for it to come out on DVD, because I will buy it.
I just felt the lion symbolized the British struggle against the Nazis. But a literature scholar said C.S.Lewis' original book was more involved in the negative effect of Christianity? I can't comment but besides the cinematography overall I felt I could watch it many times. Although I felt it would attract the young at heart just as well (possibly more) as a junior audience.
I am glad it was award an Oscar for Makeup, and would have liked it to have earned a few more nominations, etc.
I think it will become a classic. So I hope Walt Disney will release it on video/DVD a lot quicker than they did Mary Poppins.
