This is the perfect court drama. It involves the struggle of jurors trying to make the right decision concerning the fate of a man. The staging of this classic is shot in one room. Always focusing on the struggle at the time and not cluttering the movie with the externals. It invites us to join struggle that happens once the trill is over. The writing and acting draw us into that conflict. I am particularly enamored over the black and white photography and the one room set. If color had been more widely used at that time, it would have changed the entire feel of the movie. I typically say that one must suspend their disbelief for movies. This is one film that you want to believe absolutely

As a commentator on entertainment celluloid, I have to say that I have been waiting on this flick for a long time. I am an avid reader of C.S. Lewis and have loved this book. The movie didn't disappoint at all. The story is accurately told of little Lucy stumbling into Narnia and changing their world for the better. More importantly, it is a reminder to us that the simplest of good deeds can change our world for the better.

On a technical note, the special effects in the movie could have been better, but when you consider that this is basically a children's story and children aren't as critical as adults, they are fine. As I have said before, one must suspend their disbelief and enjoy the movie for the movie.

One must remember to suspend your disbelief when watching movies. I haven't read the book and I was totally sucked in by the wonderful story telling of Dan Brown and the movie making of Ron Howard. Even if the subject is somewhat controversial. One should remember that it is, after all, a story based loosely on historical fact. Much as the bible is also a story and is based broadly on historical fact.

At issue is the theory that Jesus may have been married and had offspring. This single theory is skillfully interwoven in the plot line of a romantic who done it that is exciting and thought provoking even though it is somewhat predictable from the beginning. Even with it's predictability, it is still a movie that you should Run to see movie, get some pop corn and an overly expensive beverage and enjoy.
