Chuck Colson reviews the Narnia film.

Chuck Colson has a thoughtful review of the Narnia film. I like his column for the summary he offers of reviewers around the globe. But I dissent on one point: Colson speculates that any lack of awe we feel for Aslan may be due to the constraints of the film medium. I disagree. If the medium of film does anything well, it is its ability to inspire awe, to make ordinary people appear stunningly beautiful, to transform plumber brawn into the rippling muscles of an epic gladiator, to make kissing cowboys look "normal," etc.

Another good observation comes from a blogger named Susan.

- The book quote "battles are ugly when women fight" was instead changed to "battles are ugly" when Father Christmas explains to Susan and Lucy that they are to use their weapons only in great need. This leaves the audience wondering why he told Susan and Lucy this, but not Peter. The quote would have been better left out completely since they decided to distort it.
