King Kong vs. Aslan

Interesting series, "King Kong vs. Aslan" by Mark D. Roberts on his blog site.

I saw a movie on Friday. Here's the basic plot:

Some people travel to a mysterious land where they find strange beasts and unsought for adventures. This land is ruled by an awesome animal, whose kingly roar is deafening and who instills awe in the creatures of the land. When one member of the party is taken captive, the others seek to rescue that person, even though they'd rather just go home. As they are looking for their captured colleague, the rescue party is chased by ferocious beasts, who almost kill them. Ultimately, the captured person is saved from certain death by the sacrificial intervention of the animal king. Thereafter the captive, now rescued, feels a strong connection to the savior beast. Yet because of this captive, the great animal ends up losing his life.

So here's your quiz: What movie did I see on Friday?


Mark, as usual, provides an insightful commentary on the messages contained in both movies. Worth a read.
