Sheesh! Another Hollywood actor that doesn't get it. She did a fine job of playing the role, but doesn't have a clue about the story.
In all seven books, the message is clear, follow your own conscience and your own "star" and get in a heap of trouble. Aslan bailed those kids out at every turn.
I really don't have a problem with actors disagreeing with their role, or being idiots, as long as they do their job to act.
But, Tilda is clueless.
Um. Stoo-pid. Just... how do you get that interpretation anyway?
Edmund followed his own star and it nearly got him killed.
I remember a sermon preached at Asbury Seminary once by maybe Harold Burgess.
In it he likened Eustace's dragon skin in "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" to the sin nature that still befuddles Christians. He preached that Lewis had intentionally spoken of the need for sanctification within the Christian.
Eustace only found relief from his "skin" when Aslan personally tore it off with his claws.
I think something similar is taking place in the transformation of Edmund in the Lion,Witch,Wardrobe.
Edmund had to be humbled. As Corin points out, following one's own lead only results in disaster.
Who shall deliver me from this body of death? I thank God through my Lord Jesus Christ.
A pity. She did a great job with her role, but carried away exactly nothing from it.
Actors don't have to be intellectuals: All they have to do is repeat someone else's words.
