The Golden Compass a.k.a. Northern Lights (2007)
Received from my email: "Please don't let your children watch THE GOLDEN COMPASS. It will make them think like atheists." From another sender: "THE GOLDEN COMPASS, an atheistic book, is now a movie. Please Boycott it!" Those above are the milder ones . When I asked them if they have read the books before, they said they wouldn't dare. One thing's for sure, this is not a children's movie, but as I've mentioned to one of the people who reviewed it recently, the commotion is just much ado about nothing ...well, maybe not nothing, but... Looking beyond that , I must say that it is a very enjoyable film. I think I like Dakota Blue Richards...she's going to be a big star one day. I also like the computer animation and stuff...the content is another story. This movie is the 1st of the series of Pullman's His Dark Materials: The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife and The Amber Spyglass. I wouldn't recommend it to child...
