Assorted Thoughts

It seems now inevitable that Prince Caspian will wait till at least summer 2008. It is not that I am at all impatient; I am merely worried that by the time they get to Dawn Treader, Lucy will have trouble navigating her walker onboard ship. I can almost see the cruel businessman looking down upon the helpless masses from his vast and dimly lit office. I can hear his maniacal laugh as he pushes the release date ever further back. There seems no hint of them filming several movies at once. The time scale is going to get interesting if they insist on making each movie one at a time with a two to three year gap in between.

Just a thought on the first movie, I find it interesting the way Aslan puts things in order for the rule of the children. Aslan assembles the army and then teaches Peter so that Peter can lead the army. He kills the White Witch and gives the children the job of rebuilding Narnia. He atones for Edmund’s betrayal and crowns the four children. He knows the job better than the children and I am quite sure could do it better, yet he wants them to be able to do it. He does everything the children can't do and then allows them to try their best. I rather wonder how that would relate back to the Christian understanding of the work God gives us. It would seem to be that God helps us with what we cannot handle, but then wants us to strike out on our own.
