The White Witch Issue
Posted: Sep 08, 2010 12:48 pm
Can anyone tell me why these producers keep insisting on putting the White Witch into places where she doesnt belong? She wasn't supposed to be in the PC movie, but there she materialized. Now in VDT trailer, there she is again!
The entire purpose for her being destroyed in LWW was to identiry Lucifer being deafeted by the Cross. Though evil pokes it's head up thorughout the Chronicles, The WW in LWW symbolized the ultimate image of evil...Satan... and his grip over human destiny. Likewise, once that figure was defeated, there would be no more reason at all for the White Witch to even appear in Dawn Treader or the Silver Chair.
And if They do the same to Dawn Treader (which it appears they already have) then what is the point? What is truth if it is not absolute? It is luke warm to be spit out. I hear that this time around for Dawn Treader they even had a conference with theological approval during a viewing of clips from the movie (see ChristianityToday.com for details on the conference).
If they distort the most important conversation in all of the Chronicles, the one which appears at the end of the VDT book between Aslan and Lucy, then we know future productions are a waste of time to even take notice.
Do any of these distortions bother anyone else? Does anyone care about what Lewis was trying to say in this lost world? Or are we all blinded beyond belief?
