"Then a friend and I went to see Chronicles of Narnia."

I don't go the movies often. The last time I went was to watch Mel Gibson's The Passion of Christ (article 'The' intentionally left out). Saw it twice. Once alone and once with my nieces and nephews. I don't go the the movies unless it's a movie that benefits our people.

Is the Chronicles of Narnia a Christian movie?

I think the general public would say it was a nice story.

But my friend and I were able to pick out many allegories, the faithful (fawn), Mary, the mother, Mary Magdalene, Chrisit of course, the Lion, devil, The Witch, someone who betrays and repents -- St. Peter.

Also the allegory of dying and rising from the dead, battle with the evil forces, final triumph.

None of these things are pointedly mentioned, but a Christian can definitely pick them out.
