EoG: Prince Caspian

Yes, we all knew it was coming. I had to write something about Prince Caspian. Well, with me reading the Chronicles of Narnia yet another time (I've actually lost count, would you believe it?) and the movie out and now that I've seen it... Well, anyone that knows me knew it was coming.

The movie was good. Excellent job. I've heard a lot of criticism from people who overanalyze in order to sound smart (I personally find that overanalysis takes away from artistic enjoyment, so I try not to do that), and I have to disagree. It did have places where it was different than the book (if you'd like a list, email and ask me for one), but the essence and overall accuracy of the story were maintained. Good job by all the actors giving a lot of emotion in their dialogue and expression. Good soundtrack, great screenshots, etc. etc. Excellent job and I'm buying the DVD.

There is one point that I'm going to preach on a little bit. There is a part where Lucy is beckoned to follow Aslan, but the others can't see him and she's too scared to go by herself, so she doesn't follow him. Later, she realizes that if she had followed Aslan sooner, many lives would have been saved. But they were all lost simply because she did not follow right away.

Every day we spend NOT following Jesus in our personal walks because we're too afraid that our friends won't follow us, lives are lost. Eternally. Forever.

In the story, Lucy eventually follows Aslan and there is a great victory. When will we, likewise, follow Jesus and start letting Him have great victories through us???
