she doesn't believe in God, but she still believes in Aslan
Wow, that resonated really hard with me. When I finally twigged that Aslan = Jesus, I'd already spent a good five years or so believing in Aslan, and my response was less annoyance at the allegorical obviousness or at being tricked than it was just "...No he's not."
I adore the Prince Caspian movie, probably because I had no particular attachment to the book, and not only did they make me like the story, but they made a genuinely good and enjoyable film in the process.
I'm actually quite anxious about Dawn Treader, because I know they made a lot of structural and narrative changes, and while I can see why they did given the episodic nature of the book, Dawn Treader is my favorite. It's already perfect as is! I am afraid I will be bitter at the movie. :(
