i never thought i'd spend the money to see the same movie twice in one weekend.

but i did.

and i don't regret spending my last dollar until friday on this movie.

after talking to friends i saw it with, i think i enjoyed it the most. yeah, it's a kid's movie. yeah there are things that the book did or could do better. but i was moved.

i think the reason i was moved had a lot to do with my ignorance of the books beforehand, but the knowledge that c.s. lewis basically took the redemption story and made it into the chronicles.

since everyone should know the plot by now... edmund becomes a traitor, and should rightly be sentenced to death. but aslan (he's the lion) gives up his own life in sacrifice. ...only to come back more powerful than he was in life.

and in his sacrifice, he not only saves edmund's, but is able to forgive anyone their sins, regardless of their past.

all is forgiven, and that is what redemption gives us all.
