In Reply to: "Narnia" on DVD posted by DWPC on April 7, 2006 at 11:03:25:
If this film had been produced during a period in our history when the world wasn't being assaulted by religious extremism at every turn, with self-righteous fanatics battling for the hearts and minds of folks everywhere, with a war on terror being seen by many as a religious crusade, with puritanical legislators lurking behind every door and under every bed, then perhaps Narnia might not be seen as such a propaganda tool. Unfortunately, this is not the world we live in and Disney was not above using Lewis's christian allegorical fable to exploit the current popularity of a fantasy genre films.AuPh
Follow Ups:
Plans were in the works for bringing this story to the screen at least three years ago, if not more. The idea was even in place far earlier, it just took some time to purchase the rights from Lewis' family.
So, it doesn't seem that this movie has much to do with current political trends, or political/war/religious propaganda. The film is taken from a far-from-current book, and there are many of us who have long awaited its arrival to the big screen. For me, it has absolutely nothing to do with propaganda... it has to do with my childhood coming to life before my eyes.
