What scum. Hey Marxist twits. How about just minding your own business just ONCE? But NO everyone must be forced to tow your hate all religion always demented line. How about this moron, don't go see it.
So, what, these goobers aren't being forced to read the books or watch the movie.
Poly Toynbee is the White Witch, trying to kill Aslan.
Well, there are some who actually think that TCON represent a twisted, distorted false Christianity as a "trick" to turn people away from the truth. I guess this reviewer didn't get the memo. Or...maybe, it's the double-reverse psycho wammy! She really loves it's "evil" core, so she's actually trying to get Christians to fall into the trap of seeing the movie by slamming the movie! Yeah, that's the ticket! (/sarcasm)
Is this how you REALLY feel?? LOL!-- I'm with ya.
Poly Toynbee reminds me of a few charcters in Narnia...
I've read that stupid, narrow- minded review on another freerepublic post, and said what I thought about it then. Just go to the "In forum" section of my profile, and you'll see what I thought about that hack's comments.
"This new Disney film is a remarkably faithful rendition of the bookbeautiful to look at and wonderfully acted. The four English children and their world are all authentically CS Lewis olde England. But from its opening scenes of the bombing of their Finchley home in the blitz and the tear-jerking evacuation from their mother in a (spotlessly clean) steam train, there is an emotional undertow to this film that tugs on the heart-strings from the first frames. By the end, it feels profoundly manipulative, as Disney usually does. But then, that is also deeply faithful to the book's own arm-twisting emotional call to believers. ... Of all the elements of Christianity, the most repugnant is the notion of the Christ who took our sins upon himself and sacrificed his body in agony to save our souls. Did we ask him to? Poor child Edmund, to blame for everything, must bear the full weight of a guilt only Christians know how to inflict, with a twisted knife to the heart. Every one of those thorns, the nuns used to tell my mother, is hammered into Jesus's holy head every day that you don't eat your greens or say your prayers when you are told"
Well, he says nice things
about the movie. But he
clearly dislikes Christ
and has issues with
Salvation and how it works.
At the very least,
it was a thoughtful
review, where the writer said
what was on his mind.
