Prince Caspian

I went to the midnight showing of Prince Caspian- so pretty much the first person around the world to watch the new Narnia movie. I must say the movie was good- but not like super duper beyond my expectation- HOWEVER, the last few scenes really really took me. Especially when Lucy Edmund, Peter and Susan were going back to their world- the look on Aslan surprised me and immediatly shook me to tears- as Lucy looked at Aslan before going into the tree hole, Aslan looked at her with loving eyes, it was an expression that had so much meaning, he looked at her not wanting to her to go...like she is so precious that he doesn't want to lose the nearness of her- but he also gave a confidence and smile that was reassuring that he will see her someday soon. It is just such a strong metaphor of how God looks at us. I'm sure He truly truly wants to spend all the time with us, but he put us on Earth for this season (our life here on earth) for a reason- and just like Aslan in the movie, God also doesn't want to let go of his precious jewels, but he chooses to- for his timing is perfect- in the hope of seeing each other again soon....

Wow.

Here are the lyrics from the song at the end of the movie....Regina Spektor "the Call" i thought it was very very well chosen.

It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word

And then that word grew louder and louder
'Til it was a battle cry

I'll come back
When you call me
No need to say goodbye

Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never
Been this way before

All you can do is try to know
Who your friends are
As you head off to the war

Pick a star on the dark horizon
And follow the light

You'll come back
When it's over
No need to say good bye

You'll come back
When it's over
No need to say good bye

Now we're back to the beginning
It's just a feeling and now one knows yet
But just because they can't feel it too
Doesn't mean that you have to forget

Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
'Til they're before your eyes

You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say good bye

You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say good bye
