So here's how my day went... I woke up at about 10:00 and smoked 4 bowls of some of the best fucking chronic in a vaporizer with my friend Josh, then we proceeded to play 007 Nightfire, Super Smash Bros Melee, and Mario Party 5 on Gamecube for a couple hours. Then at around 1:00 I went and smoked a fat jay of the same bud with my friend Aj and we drive over to the movie theater... We then smoke another bowl and go eat at Fuddrucker's... We smoke another bowl and go to buy tickets... We were fucking lit and we couldn't decide on a movie; the two movies I wanted to see, Syriana and Munich, were sold out and somehow we decided to watch The Chronicles of Narnia... Don't even ask how man... And dude... That is the fucking WEIRDEST movie I've ever seen... These little kids like go through a closet and appear in some forest with goat people and midgets and shit and these fuckin' talking beavers hafta bring 'em to some lion 'cause they're brother was captured by the evil snow lady whose been goin around killin' peeps and then they get him back but the lady ties up the lion, shaves him, then stabs him to death... And then he comes back from the dead... Somewhere in there Santa Clause comes on a sleigh pulled by fuckin' moose and gives the kids weapons like knives and shit...Then there's a huge battle seen with all the weird creatures and shit and the kids like come out of the closet... It's a fuckin' weird ass movie dude... Then we spent half an hour in the parking lot cuz we couldn't remember where we parked the car... Then we smoked another bowl of course.
hahaha wow man thanks alot cause of you i just woke my parents up from laughing so hard, im high right now and your description of the movie is the funniest thing i ever read in my life on the forums, wow i got to see this fucked up movie high as fuck.
Its a brilliant film, I first read the book when I was 12 and was drinking mushroom tea at the time, man you think the film seems fucked up stoned you want to try it trippin your ass off! I sat and read the story again in October with my kids when I found out the film was being released. We all thought it was fantastic.
I liked it when i was a kid, then i learned it was about jesus, and didn't like it so much. Didja notice there really wasn't any blood?
Haha thanks duders. Eugene, ya I noticed there wasn't any blood but I figured that was cuz it's like a kid's movie... Just like not really cuz of all the killing and stuff and I think it's PG-13... And yeah, it's kind of a Christian movie but not really so much; I guess the lion dude kinda represents Jesus cuz he like sacrificed himself and then died and came back and stuff, but they said he came back for some weird ass reason that really had no Christian meaning.. I think... And there was Santa but I mean he comes outta freakin' nowhere and gives the kids swords and shit... I dun really think I'd call it a Christian movie though... I think it's just fuckin' WEIRD. hehe Oh, and if any of you guys go to see it, at the big battle like towards the end, look for when this little midget tries to kill one of the kids; the kids just lying there and the midget duder like jumps up to like kill the kid with an axe, but then some chick shoots him outta the air and the midget goes 'AH!' and flies to the ground and dies, it's like the fuckin' funniest part of the whole movie, we were laughin' our asses off for fuckin' ten minutes.
The christian meaning comes from dying for the sins of others. Jesus gave his life to attone for the sins of mankind, and Aslan gave his life willingly as a sacrifice for the sins and treachary of Edmund and to save all of Narnia. Narnia itself also has a double meaning - heaven itself. Once a king or queen of Narnia always a king or queen of Narnia. I dont go with the whole Christian story myself, but prefer the magical, mystical, fantasy side of the book/film. Did you see the look that passed between the white witch and Aslan before he killed her? they were once in love, the whole thing is explained in the other 6 books. Well worth a read if you like that sort of thing.
forgot to say, Aslan rising from the grave is the double entendre for Jesus rising from the dead after the crucifiction. The meaning of the deep magic written on the stone table is the magic and miracle of life and faith itself.
I noticed there was no blood, too. It's a Disney film, what do you expect. I'm not sure if C.S. Lewis was Christian when he wrote the book, but towards the end of his life he was. Wrote a few books about it, too, I believe. There are a lot of Christian overtones in the movie, Aslan sacrificing himself to save all of Narnia, in Revelation, Christ is compared to a lion.
saw that movie really ripped. i wasnt warned of the connections to the bible and figured them out in the movie theatre myself. everybody in there must have thought i was crazy i was making hand gestures on accident while talking to myself in my head. hahaha. dope ass movie.
