When you love a writer as a child/young adult you think that they belong to you specially. Because I thought Lewis was mine, I thought that Jesus could be mine too, or that I could be his.
Iβm convinced that had I not been a very regular visitor to Narnia (via the books) for the past thirty years, I would have ended up enjoying this film.
Alas, I have, and Gerwigβs worldview is too far from Lewisβs & her visualisation too far from mine for me to expect to like it.
Iβve been reading these by @MichaelHorton_ on my train journeys recently, and maybe itβs just that I donβt have my ear to the ground anymore, but they are far too prescient & well-thought out for me to have taken 2 years to hear of them! Spread the word!
His examination of the divine self offers a crucial caution against Christians becoming gladly excited about the βrespiritualisationβ of the West.
Anyone seeking to βhave understanding of the times, to know what [Godβs people] ought to doβ will be blessed.

The tune itself isnβt melancholic.
What we hear is a sharp Beauty, and we experience melancholy because it is a Beauty we now live East of.
It soothes us because the Beauty whose echo we hear is our home.
It is good for our souls to head West with the sun: back towards Beauty.
