The King of the big screen

Nine of us went to see Narnia: Prince Caspian tonight at Lisbon Landing. It was a youth group trip and everyone enjoyed the movie. Narnia is the fantasy land dreamed up by C. S. Lewis in the 1940s. Four children travel though time and a different dimension to fight evil alongside Aslan and the population of Narnia.

Very much like JRR Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, Narnia gives us a cosmic battle between good and evil. It is a good movie with a lot of religious symbolism and overtones. If you aren't a church goer it is just good fun.

After the movie we talked a little bit about what happened and asked the kids how it relates to real life for us as Christians. You might want to ask yourself the same question if you go to see the movie.
