Today Jorma and I escaped for a bit and caught The Chronicles of Narnia on the big screen. It was FANTASTIC! I knew the special effects were going to be good and I've read the books, (well the first two anyway) but I didn't know how much I was going to like it. Or how sad it was going to be. Plus, what's not to like when a movie has talking beavers.
I heard a lot about the religious significance or symbolism rather before I saw the flick, and remembering back to reading the books, was like, yeah... I can see that. But seeing the book played out, I noticed the details I had forgotten about. Details that made it profoundly symbolic, which suprisingly, I really liked.
It's not really a sad movie, but when you are pregnant and hormonal it's a little more dramatic. I started crying as soon as the White Witch spoke with Aslyan in the tent... and I don't think I stopped until 10 minutes before the movie ended. In retrospect the movie could actually be really crappy and just appeal to my hormonal emotional state. nah.
You'll just have to see it for yourself to judge. If you've seen it, leave a comment and let us know what you thought.

OH I can't wait to see it. Now you make me want to see it that much more. I recently read the book myself.
Love the pic of the boys. Talk at you later - Amanda
