not really anything about the movies, but for me the importance of mythology, esp. christian theology as 'true-myth', together with the non-rational romantic element of lewis' (and other's) stories (and other writings) are amoung the most important reasons i have for having faith, as by disposition i am a skeptic. its not that the stories are at all enlightening of the mechanics of the theology they represent, but the nature of the stories makes spirit seem a more worthwhile category to value.

I read the book and saw the movie in about a 3 day span, (although I did see a cartoon version a couple of times as a kid) and it has stirred something in me, something that i've been trying to settle for about three years now,... Is Jesus really God?
I'm a skeptical kind of guy, so it's hard for me to make that final leap into belief that Jesus is God. I would say that for the last 2 or 3 years I have been sitting on the fence, on one side is belief in Jesus and on the other side is rejection of him as God. Actually, a more accurate description would be that my hands are holding on to the top of the fence, while my toes are almost touching the ground on the side of belief in Jesus, but I refuse to let go completely. The movie lets me see Jesus in a different way, maybe it helps me because I was really saturated with the story of Jesus as a kid. It does'nt replace anything, but its like looking through another window because the one one I was looking through was too fogged up to see through. Maybe one day I will go in through the window, reading Lewis sure helps.

Since the movie, and even more since re-reading the books, the presence of Christ seems even more tangible to me.
