Quotes:
"People who have not been in Narnia sometimes think that a thing cannot be good and terrible at the same time" (168).
"'Please - Aslan,' said Lucy, 'can anything be done to save Edmund?'
   'All shall be done,' said Aslan. 'But it may be harder than you think'" (169).
"...never forget to wipe your sword" (171).
"Did you hear what he said? Us Lions. That means him and me. Us Lions" (190).
"'Does he know,' whispered Lucy to Susan, 'what Aslan did for him?'
   ...'Oh, surely not,' said Susan. "It would be too awful for him. Think how you'd feel if you were he.'
   'All the same I think he ought to know,' said Lucy" (193).
"One day you'll see him and another you won't.... He's wild, you know. Not like a tame lion" (194).

My View: A story so gorgeously written that the movie visuals (I've seen the film at least two or three times) never even popped into my head... Filled with even more beautiful, subtle, and smoothly integrated allegory (regardless of whether CS Lewis would acknowledge it as such), like when Susan and Lucy are looking for Aslan in the wood (the women searching for Jesus's body).

Always,
Your Bibliomaniac
