NARNIA: "Racist, misogynistic and reactionary"
October 17th, 2005 by Cinema Eye
In a recent interview with The Observer, author Philip Pulman (HIS DARK MATERIALS) had a few choice words about the Narnia series. “If the Disney corporation wants to market this film as a great Christian story, they’ll just have to tell lies about it,” said Pullman. Pullman went on to characterize the books as “a peevish blend of racist, misogynistic and reactionary prejudice” and “not a trace” of Christian charity. Pullman is the author of the acclaimed HIS DARK MATERIALS trilogy which tells the story of a fight to overthrow God. His books have been attacked by Christian leaders as blasphemous. (Via: BBC)
