Last weekend I saw Prince Caspian, the new Chronicles of Narnia movie. While this movie didn't follow the book it was based upon as closely as the first Chronicles of Narnia movie followed The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, it did do a good job of capturing the spirit of C.S. Lewis' _Prince Caspian_.
In particular, I was intrigued by how the movie approached the concept of "blind" faith. How much justification (or maybe reinforcement is a better term?) of our convictions do we need in order to continue to have faith?
If anyone else has seen it, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Any Narnia fans out there? Caspian is coming in 121 days.
Greetings all,
I was tooling around just now and I was happy to find Prince Caspian is coming out May 16.
Did anybody enjoy the last film?
I really liked it. I ADORED the books as a child, and have very much enjoyed reading them to my daughter. I was glad to see the new film will be coming out as I think my daughter can probably see this one now that she a little older. She was too younger the last time to get much out of the film but has really come to love the DVD.
I saw the trailer, and the only thing I felt was regrettable--that really stood out right away--was how old the "children" looked. Lucy looks about 10 years old or so, and the story she should be about 6-7. The film wasn't shot too quickly after LWW was finished, and I guess they were not sure if it would succeed and if other films would be forthcoming.
Anyway, anybody planning to see the film, any Narnia fans out there, or just me?
