Okay, finally got to see this movie too.... like 3 years after it came out. lol. It really is pretty lame of me, but whatever. I'm sure I read it as a kid, but I only vaguely remember the story. I only recall that I was freaked out by wardrobes/dressers like that for a while.
Anyway, what a pleasant surprise to find that my favourite Scotsman was also in this movie as Mr. Tumnus. How friggin cute is he dressed up in his faun outfit? hehe. Seriously, love that man! Ewan McGregor had better watch out because James McAvoy is so totally stealing his thunder.
Alright, back to the task at hand. I really liked the movie. Even though it's a children's book, it's not just for kids at all, which I like. I'm not going to spend time reviewing the movie, so much as I wanted to discuss something interesting that I heard about it. Maybe I'm out of the loop and just never heard this before, but apparently the entire series is based on The Bible. It makes sense though when you think about it. Aslan, the lion, and the whole sacrifice and resurrection thing. And how Edmund, the brother, betrayed them all.
I'm no expert on the Bible, but from what I do know, it does seem to draw some parallels. After I googled it though, C.S. Lewis claims that he didn't write it that way at all and that the claims are just claims. But he could see where the comparisons came from. I dunno. Maybe people just see what they want to see. Either way, it's a classic story story of good vs. evil, if nothing else.
Hmm... what out-of-date movie should I watch next? I still haven't seen or read any of the Harry Potter series, but I'm not interested, to be honest. And every time I see pictures of Harry Potter, it reminds me of this guy I used to work with who looks like him, glasses and all. Very distracting. I'm babbling now so I'll stop.
