Wrong will be right...
Wrong will be right, when Aslan comes in sight,
At the sound of his roar, sorrows will be no more,
When he bares his teeth, winter meets its death
And when he shakes his mane, we shall have spring again.
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, p. 75
C.S. Lewis
Going to see it tonight after Christa's 8th grade girls' basketball game.
UPDATE:
Wow, the movie was great. There were changes. What can be expected though, not some horrendous nightmare of one. I liked the music, I liked the acting (Lucy was fantastic.), and the CGI Aslan was very well done. Even Liam Neeson as his voice seemed to fit, in my opinion. The battle was neatly done and fit very much what was written, though expanded upon of course.
I love the book. And it is different than the movie. The intrusive author is one of the things you might miss in the movie. But over all I think they did a good job. It gave me a great deal of satisfaction and enjoyment. And the Christian themes seem to resound right off the pages of the book. And some added words from Aslan..."It is finished," when the battle is over. A little bit of double meaning there. Someone cheered in the theatre when he said that.
If you've been on the fence whether or not to see it, I would say go. I don't think you will be disappointed.
