If u r looking for a in depth discourse on philosophy & theology u will have 2 read his books, ect. That aside..it was a truly fascinating story that most any1 could see themselves within..how we go thru the process of growth along the way. From one phase to another, 2 another.. until total surrender. Overcoming our reasons for our own trust issues..I urge all to see themselves in their own lives in his, also shows how the intellect can only go so far. The heart had to take over. 👍

I just watched this. I made it through! Was the movie bad? No! Was it without importance? No! Was it dull? Yes! Was it terribly boring listening to this man talk for over an hour straight? Heck Yes! Did it offer to me, personally, any new insights into Christianity or challenge my own convictions? No, It did not. Was it supposed to? Likely not. So...what was the point of it? Sadly, it was just a story, and quite frankly, a story made extremely boring by the relentless, incessant, talking!!

Here's the thing ... its CS Lewis, his mind and his journey. It is not meant to be excitingly or digitally mastered into any blockbuster film. But what you do get is a spiritual journey documented like no other from one of the best minds in the 20th century. I have read almost all his books and still I had to pause and rewind many of the statements in this movie because they hit me as so profound I had to memorize them ... great movie, great job presenting it.
