This movie is to promote Oprah as the next Democrat candidate.

Won’t be watching it. My second grade teacher read this book to us in class. I don’t want to ruin the memory.

>>The film’s version of events strips away explicit mention of God or religion, instead trimming down the central conflict to one between “evil” and “light.”

General Revelation makes even Humanists look for generic “light”. Unfortunately, Satan is the brightest star in their worldview.

I never was on board with all of L’Engle’s thought, but the book was inescapably Xtian. To take Jesus, Biblical cosmology, and the “dynamics” of suffering Love as the supreme Divine power ... it makes it a decaffeinated tale. It has no zing; there's no point in yelling it.

If Dante is Aquinas set to music, the Narnia books are “Mere Christianity” set to music. When Disney reduces the Christological aspects of Aslan to a whisper, the same blandness results.

How sad that we can't tell a tale anymore!

All this is irrelevant to Disney. How many gay sex scenes did they sneak in?

This movie is a microcosm of the decline of Hollywood. Refusing to face the reality of the spiritual struggle of mankind between the forces of good and evil, they have lost all depth of character in their own writing. Now reduced to searching elsewhere for stories worth telling, they cannot resist discarding any depth they find, and substituting their own shallow world views.

Once they surrender to their lusts, the only thing that excites them is their lust and the struggle for them from that point on is not between good and evil, but which evil and how much?

It's projected to be behind Black Panther this weekend. Maybe $30 million and that could be generous.

Watch how far it will have plummeted a week from now.
