By now, you probably have already gone to the movies and noticed a huge banner for the latest fantasy movie being released on December 7th by the name of The Golden Compass starring Nicole Kidman. If it wasn’t the poster you saw, it was probably an advertisement on T.V. Before you decide on whether or not to take your kids to watch this movie, I just thought that I might give you a little bit of information about what inspired this movie and about the story itself.
In the 1950’s, an Atheist turned Christian author by the name of C.S. Lewis, wrote The Chronicles of Narnia, a series of 7 books. All 7 books reflect Biblical stories and characters. C.S. Lewis wrote the series in order to spark the imagination of a younger reader to better understand important moments and characters in the Bible. He created a character named Aslan who was a lion that represented Jesus Christ in many ways. He also created a character named Jadis, the white witch who represented Satan. The Chronicles of Narnia incorporated Christian theology in a fantasy like state, with its overall intention of giving an understanding of the Word of God.
Upon reading The Chronicles of Narnia, author Philip Pullman decided to put together a fantasy series of his own. Philip Pullman, an atheist, wrote an anti-Narnia trilogy named, His Dark Materials. The first book in the series named, Northern Lights, is the first book to be adapted to film with the titled being changed to, The Golden Compass. This film has been watered down in order to avoid criticisms from believers of Christ. This is in order to use the movie as bait to lead children to read his books in the series.
While Northern Lights being the least offensive of the books, the books that follow such as The Subtle Knife then ending with The Amber Spyglass worsens, promoting ideas on atheism. In the last book of the series, a boy and a girl are depicted representing Adam and Eve, kill God, who is referred to as ‘YAHWEH’. If none of you knew, ‘YAHWEH’ is one of the Hebrew names for God in the Bible.
Phillip Pullman is known to be a hater of C.S. Lewis, the ideas in Narnia and spirituality. Phillip’s intention with the series, is to give the idea of atheism to the children that read the His Dark Materials trilogy. Phillip Pullman stated in 2003 interview with The Sydney Morning Herald that “My books are about killing God”
If you love your kids, please do not let them watch this movie, or read the books.
And also be sure to keep Phillip Pullman in prayer, so that God will continue to tug at his heart and eventually show Phillip that He truly does exist. God is graceful, and even those who mock God deserve a chance to serve Him!
p.s. The New Narnia Movie ‘rince Caspian’ will be released May 16, 2008!“
