Golden compass is out this weekend! owhmigawsh! i can't believe that it's finally here! =) im so excited! for one thing, golden compass is one of the best damn novel that i've read so far. EVER. honest. its becoming a fast favourite of mine though im still in the middle of reading the author's 3rd book of the trilogy. yes i know. i cant be expecting or putting up my hopes too high on the movie. since you know, there's already a long line of history of movies being adapted from novel or games that are just far away from the original creator which has leads to lots of disappointments to their fans (eg, residence evil, harry potter and such) but nevertheless, i still have that feeling of excited euphoria in me! i cant wait to watch it!
lots of controversy has erupted due to this movie and the novel itself. rumours is that Dark Materials (which is the trilogy that golden compass belongs to) by Phillip Pullman is a book full of God-deception, anti-God, or teaching children to kill God, overall, it was said its a book with a hidden meaning. It was learned that the author itself is an atheist. thus the logic of coming out a book with such aim. so people out there is saying the movie is a bad influence for childrens. they even want to boycott the movie.
i have read the book. and im a Christian myself. now i dont think the book has any connection to Christianity and such. sure, it did touched a bit of religion here and there, but its just a fiction. a fiction with strong stories, fantasy dwellings and dangerous adventures. for me, i think the book is just purely adventure. beautifully written, and smitten you to no extend. yes. i admit i love the book! =p anyway, the point is, lets look on the other side. its just pure fantasy story, whats there to argue or to hide? the author might be an atheist, but it doesnt affect the fact that the book is just purely fictional.
and i think they should have find a person with black shiny hair instead of the goldie hair of nicole kidman =( but i cant wait to see pantailaimon & iorek =) they are my most favourite characters inside. did you see pantalaimon? omg, he's soooo cute =D
