Last night my boyfriend and I decided to go see Prince Caspian; we both really liked The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, and the previews for this movie looked good.
For the most part, I really enjoyed the movie. I’ve read the books, though it was several years ago and my recall of the details are pretty low, so I can’t do a comparison between the books and the movie.
Even so, something that really grabbed my attention was what a few of the other audience members said once the movie was done, relating to the “overwhelming” Christian themes and how Disney shouldn’t promote any one world religion. Yeah, I picked up on the really blatant themes of the movie and how they were related to Christianity, but come on, it’s a children’s movie. Do we really have to dissect it for the sake of arguing? Why would you spend $7.50 to go see a movie, if you’re only there to find all the different ways that Christianity is represented? It’s a children’s movie, it’s there to entertain.
