[lbo-talk] Narnia

[Charles Brown]

I saw it.  I'd say it is in the European medieval and fairy tale genre.
"Christianity" is  a main ideology of the European Middle Ages, feudalism,
so there is a bit of an abstract Christianity to it. 

At least Christmas is a theme, but not with the emphasis on the Birth of
Christ. Rather,however, Santa Claus had a bit part in it. He gave the kids
who are the main characters gifts, that were magical and key to their
survival in battle later. I wouldn't call it an allegory for the life of
Christ. But it is Christian-Christmassy, with all the snow, elves, gifts.
Like I say, Santa Claus literally has a bit part. What can I say . He
doesn't wear red.  

Alas, the maggiiccc forreesttt themes were somewhat cliched to me. I've sort
of lost my innocence.  The lead character is about 7 years old. :>)
