NARNIA!!!

[Blood Wake]

I loved it

[Aqualis]

I saw it, but I didn't enjoy because I had two or three people near who felt they needed commentate or predict the movie to their friends..

So I just put pretty good, since I'm not really sure.

[Gen. Volkov]

It blew chunks.

[Scarwake]

Saw it, it was good, must say tho there could've been some parts that were better

[Blood Wake]

I think the first hour is a bit slow and cheasy but after that its just plain awesome.

[Gen. Volkov]

But but... they completely ignored the allegory! That's the POINT of Narnia. Bah. Unsophisticated heathens.

[Blood Wake]

yeah.. uhh.. I don't know what Alegory means

[Gen. Volkov]

*Blank stare* Allegory? You don't know what allegory is? What in the name of God are they teaching you in schools?????? *Throws up hands in disgust and walks off*

[Blood Wake]

schools don't teach things that matter. like math past the point of division, its worthless

[Gen. Volkov]

LOL. You may actually find yourself needing algebra one day. Other than that, prolly not.  Allegory is a literary device where events and characters in a story are equated with meanings outside the story itself. It's basically a story with two meanings, a literal one and a symbolic one. The literal story of Narnia is what they have on the screen, the symbolic and more important part of Narnia is as an allegory of Christ's life and other Christian themes. They basically left it out of the movie. The only place you see it is when Aslan dies and comes back to life. What they did with Narnia is a travesty, it became a kiddie version of LOTR. Which is not what it's supposed to be at all.

[Ruddertail]

I found the alegory came through quite clearly. Aslan dying to save Edmund, then rising again to defeat the Whitch is really the only alegorical portion, the rest is just an adventure story.

[Gen. Volkov]

Umm, have you read the book RudderTail? That part of the allegory did come through clearly, they practically smacked you on the head with it. But they left SO MUCH out.

[Ruddertail]

I've read the book several times. I didn't find any alegory beyond what I mentioned, though it's possible I missed it.  And leave out the caps in the tail, please, Volkov.

[Gen. Volkov]

You did. It's riddled with allegory. But they cut most of the allegory out. Just gone, like that, the Emporer and the Deeper Magic... and they simplified it and condensed it and trimmed it down until there was nothing but the heavy sodden mass of cotton candy that lays undigested in your stomach, making you regret the $6.50 you paid for it.

And you are not an Admin here, and I'll write in caps if I wish to do so. If I wish to emphasize a point, I will use caps. I don't see why it would bother you much anyway.

OMG it was great i have also read the books
