I'm glad to see Prince Caspian top the box office, and I hope it will have legs this summer. Now I'm not one to trash on fellow critics (as the tables can turn oh so quickly), but one thing that bothered me in some reviews was the apparent lack of familiarity with the books. Too many critics have been comparing this one unfavorably to the first film OR comparing it unfavorably to Lord of the Rings. Hello? C.S. Lewis had different things to say about the nature of faith, the ways faith changes as you mature and how you deal with the apparent absence of God in dark times. Also, when I think of that haunting scene of those left behind as the Pevensies flee Miraz's castle, I'm impressed by the guts it took to film a scene in a family movie that deals so viscerally with the high cost of war. |
