What?! Are you suggesting there is bias in the entertainment industry against films with moral content? or * gasp * Christian content? Even when it outperforms any other Disney release?
Be still, my beating heart! You mean that Hollywood has an agenda? Could it be that prejudice and discrimination exist in that exalted home of the neurotically insecure in their gifts and they need to validate their myopic view of life by not honoring anything with moral and ethical compass? Oh, HB, say it isn't so!

A very worthwhile review and perspective from HOLLYWOOD JESUS at
http://www.hollywoodjesus.com/commen...2_01_blog.html teaser: The Case of the Missing Narrator; Narnia without C.S. Lewis? 09 Feb 2006 Paul Martin | (Narnia Films) Author Sarah Arthur has graciously written a guest analysis for Hollywood Jesus, taking a look at what The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe perhaps sadly lost in translation from book to screen. "Getting it right," Sarah suggests, means more than just nailing the visuals, plot, symbolism and characterization +++++++++++++++++++++++++ encouraging words about LWW: http://www.narniafans.com/?id=781 IN the top 25 grossing films of all time! WOOOOOOO - WOOOOOOO!!!!! ***************************** Oh, HB, I see. IT's only the Christians in Hollywood who have an agenda ! Or is it only they who have an erroneous agenda?

Hollywood, per se, does not have any other agenda besides making huge amounts of money. That is the ONLY "agenda" that Hollywood has. The entertainment industry is a money-making enterprise, and cares little about actual art or integrity. The Disney corporation is a prime example; they are moneymakers pure and simple. They have NO integrity whatsoever; (and they are awful npeople, believe me - I walked out on a job there at Disney studios in Burbank, a few years ago, they were so unbelieveably awful to everyone there) they care nothing for protecting art or telling a story honestly and with style. All they want to do is garner revenue.

O, Lotesse, you make me laugh; honestly you do. No agenda driving the moguls of Hollywood. Ever heard of politically correct? Though I will concede that the primary agenda of hollywood is to make large amounts of money. That doesn't equate with no agenda, however.
And, thankfully, Walden Media made LWW. Disney merely dispersed it to outlets. You mean that the company Walt and Mickey built isn't nice to the core and celebrating all sorts of family values in its workplace? That sounds like a complaint I've heard against other agendized groups: they don't live up to their PR all the time, or some such. edit: though I could have confused Hollywood with the liberal elite, I wonder why? http://magicstatistics.blogspot.com/...-hysteria.html

Inked, you sound like a paranoid delusional, all flustered and flapping your arms! Look, Hollywood - the Entertainment Industry - could care less about anything except making money. Billions of dollars worth. Are you serious, do you really believfe the film industry cares about anything else BUT the business that they are in? And what's wrong with that? It's all about the money. No art, no message - it's what sells to the most consumers. You're incredibly naive if you actually believe it could be anything but. We must be misunderstanding each other somewhere...

It's because that's what will sell right now - not because of some noble reason or anything! Apparantly, crap like "Brokeback" is a hot commodity right now, so it's selling, and being "honoured" - what a bunch of hypocrisy and falseness!!! There's no wonderful message - it's just another 20 million dollar cartoon made to SELL, not to grace the world with a noble statement or work of art. Just more Hollywood product. Hollywood is the biggest American drug manufacturer, and the consumer who buys into it is the junkie.

"Brokeback Mountain" Yes? I think it would have been better named "The Good, The Bad and The Fabulous!" Much better name for it. But blah, thats why I dont go to movies any more.

Oh my... I thought this thread would be about the new Narnia movie!
Anyway - finally saw it yesterday, and loved it! Have to admit that it was easy to be sympathetic toward Edmund. He reminds me of my middle son (who is only 5 now). Mine won't listen to much of what he's told to do, and can be very sensitive - but he really has a good heart... and if ANY of them would run into a house subject to bomb attack to grab a picture of daddy, it would be him. Somehow, I was more sympathetic to Edmund from watching the movie than from reading the book.

Oh - two other things:
I couldn't help but laugh out loud in the theater when the centaur general killed the minotaur general. Not that it was a funny incident - but the way the centaur used the two swords, and the way the minotaur fell, with the swords through the back of his neck - I think was mimicking how a matador kills a bull in the ring. I also found it amusing that after Aslan killed the Witch, as he walked away, he said, "It is finished." - quoting the words of Jesus on the Cross, of course. I didn't recall that from the book - and sure enough, it wasn't there. Clever little add though. (although we could go ALL KINDS of directions theologically on that one - which was not my intent)

yeah it was Adamsons's idea, but when someone mentioned the religious symboolysim of that line to him he had no idea of trying to do that; he was just trying to give the scene "closure".
