Nicole’s “Golden Compass” Controversy

Golden Compass

Have you heard all the buzz about this movie?  I don’t think it’s very appropriate to kids … read the synopsis I got from imdb.com:

It was no ordinary life for a young girl: living among scholars in the hallowed halls of Jordan College and tearing unsupervised through Oxford’s motley streets on mad quests for adventure. But Lyra’s greatest adventure would begin closer to home, the day she heard hushed talk of an extraordinary particle. Microscopic in size, the magical dust- found only in the vast Artic expanse of the North -was rumored to possess profound properties that could unite whole universes. But there were those who feared the particle and would stop at nothing to destroy it. Catapulted into the heart of a terrible struggle, Lyra was forced to seek aid from clans, gyptians, and formidable armored bears. And as she journeyed into unbelievable danger, she had not the faintest clue that she alone was destined to win, or to lose, this more-than-mortal battle

Apparently, it’s not about the “magical adventures” it claims it is- based on a fantasy trilogy written by Philip Pullman, “Dark Materials”- an avowed Atheist.

According to Variety, “It’s this undisguised anti-religious theme that has numerous groups in a lather, but perhaps more of an issue for some … will be the film’s lack of exciting uplift and the almost unrelievedly nasty treatment of the young characters by a host of aggressively unpleasant elders.”

Maybe you should leave the kids at home for this one … if you go to see it at all.

Has anyone heard anything else about this?
