Movie Review: *****The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe.

 This is a beautiful introduction to this series.  The movie was released in 2005, based on the book by C.S. Lewis.  Starring as the four kings are Georgie Henley, Anna Popplewell, William Moseley and Skandar Keynes.  In so many ways this book symbolizes the life of Christ.  We have a deep freeze (apostasy) caused by the wicked witch and her powers.  It has kept a winter of 100 years without Christmas upon Narnia.  However with the coming of the children of Adam and Eve, Aslan is on the move.  Edmund is deceived by the witch, and in being deceived betrays his siblings, as well as others.  He is betrayed by a lust for power, and fulfilling physical needs, warmth and drink and food.  These are tools Satan also uses, physical gratification, pride, power.  Because of this treachery, Edmund becomes subject to the Witch.  He is in need of a savior, and Aslan takes this part, and also resurrects, and provides a resurrection of sorts for those the Witch has frozen.  In the end good triumphs over evil, the Witch is undone.
