Should children be reading the His Dark Materials trilogy, or watching the film version of The Golden Compass , the first book of the trilogy?

Ciar Byrne investigates Search Search Go Independent.co.uk Web What are these? Wednesday, 28 November 2007 But there is one formidable obstacle in the path of the film, which opens to the public on 5 December: the intense antipathy of the American Catholic Church, which has turned its wrath on the production for promoting what it deems a viciously sacrilegious message that boils down to nothing less than "atheism for kids". In recent years, the Church has looked to Hollywood with renewed interest as a string of films seen as portraying Christianity in a favourable light were embraced as useful recruiting weapons among a younger, trendier demographic. No less a figure than the late Pope John Paul II approved Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ, prompting church groups to embark on a sophisticated new marketing strategy in which free tickets were distributed, entire cinemas booked out, and blogs crammed full of positive reviews exhorting the public to follow suit.

Extractions: Random 'Dear Diary' jottings about what's going on in my so-called 'life'. This used to be a blog that consisted of DVD/HD-DVD reviews but these have now been moved to their own blogs (see Links section on the right). During one of the coffee breaks on the British Film Institute tour of the National Archive last Wednesday, a small group of us chatted about how often we go to the cinema. I repeated my oft-expressed view that with current home cinema equipment, timely shiny disc release dates, and the nightmare that is a trip to the cinema these days it was hard to justify any visits to the local fleapit. At the risk of sounding like a grumpy old git (again!) a cinema trip these days seems to mean having to watch a film surrounded by ringing mobile phones, kids asking dumb questions at the top of their voices, and individuals noisly chomping on huge buckets of popcorn that could feed a family of twelve. Since when did a trip to the movies become a meal time for the whole family? Add in some truly appalling prints, poor projection systems and ridiculously inflated ticket prices and travel delays courtesy of London's transport system, why would anyone not just wait a few weeks for the DVD? After my trip to see The Golden Compass yesterday ( reviewed here on my Movie Review blog , I have a new irritant to add to the long list of why cinema trips can be a nightmare - false fire alarms causing disruption and long delays in getting in to see your film! OK, so maybe this isn't a common problem and I was unlucky, but when the one or two inexperienced staff in charge advise all and sundry that there will be a 40 minute delay and it would be best to come back later, only to then start the screening 15 minutes earlier than they've just advised, you can perhaps see why people end up getting very annoyed (not me on this occasion as I've learnt from experience never to trust what poorly paid staff tell you!)

http://www.epiphyte.net/SF/golden-compass.html

Extractions: Epiphyte Book Review up to review index The Golden Compass (published in Britain as Northern Lights ) by Philip Pullman has been marketed to young adults, so it's easily overlooked by those of us who tend to wallow in the SF section of bookstores. However, it's a tremendously inventive, engaging fantasy, reminiscent of Diana Wynne Jones' Chrestomanci novels, but more somber. It's well worth a wander to foreign aisles. Twelve-year-old Lyra Belacqua and her daemon Pantalaimon have grown up (well, nearly) in Jordan College at Oxford, in an alternate world where the Church has retained tight control over the government and science. The technology in general use, such as naptha lamps and zeppelins, is old fashioned, but the story also refers to atomic craft and "coal-silk," which I assume is nylon or polyester. (The natural sciences are considered a branch of theology; I particularly liked the Holy Semiconductor.) This world also has monsters and magic, though, and it's hard to tell where the dividing line between magic and "theology" is. The golden compass of the title is an intricate truth-telling device that guides Lyra on a journey to the far frozen North, in search of answers about disappearing children and a mysterious theological phenomenon called Dust. The story is gripping, but I was more enchanted by the world that Pullman depicts, particularly by the daemons. Every human being is linked to a daemon that must stay within a few feet of its person. Children's daemons shapeshift, but they settle on a single animal form during puberty. Telepathic animal companions have been done to death and beyond, but the daemons are strange and fascinating and utterly integral to Lyra's society.

http://www.infinityplus.co.uk/nonfiction/northern.htm

Extractions: This 'Young Adult' novel, the first volume in Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy, is on its own a work of transcendent brilliance. Northern Lights (published in America as The Golden Compass The Iron Dragon's Daughter (1993), Pullman's importance for the genre begins to become clear. The subsequent installments of His Dark Materials The Subtle Knife (1997) and The Amber Spyglass (1999) - take the story of the sequence's protagonist, Lyra Belacqua, into a succession of universes other than her own; Northern Lights Another of Pullman's very effective conceits is his shamanistic one of 'daemons': every human being in Lyra's world possesses an animal familiar that is in essence an externalized soul, an inseparable part of the self, which assumes a definitive shape only after adolescence. Disturbed by the theological implications of the interaction between this phenomenon and enigmatic elementary particles known as 'Dust', a quasi-scientific Church agency known as the General Oblation Board begins to kidnap children and conduct secret experiments upon them. The head of this organization, Mrs Coulter, is Lyra's mother; in Pullman's symbolic scheme, drawn overtly from Milton's Paradise Lost , she represents the often cruel and inflexible authority of God. Her former lover, her charismatic and amorally ambitious Satanic opposite, is Lyra's father, Lord Asriel, who has a dark project of his own. Partaking of both of their natures but implicitly transcending them as well, Lyra becomes incipiently and dangerously involved in the great feud between them, and this drives the headlong narrative of

Place an ad OAS_AD('Top'); newsvinecat = 'entertainment,movies' Movies Last updated December 5, 2007 10:21 p.m. PT By CLAIRE DEDERER SPECIAL TO THE P-I A writer sits quietly at his desk. He imagines a little girl. Something about her inspires him. He begins to write. The girl is joined by other characters: an explorer father; an ice-queen mother; a band of sea-faring Gypsies; a polar bear dressed in armor; a witch preoccupied with politics. The man sends these characters racing across the Arctic, up in hot-air balloons, through university halls, and down into abject dungeons. He's a British middle school teacher with a couple of mid-list novels under his belt, and he doesn't know that he's creating a universe that will bring down the wrath of Christians and thrill readers all over the world. Philip Pullman published "The Golden Compass" in 1995. It's the first volume in the richly imagined trilogy of children's books called "His Dark Materials," which includes "The Subtle Knife" and "The Amber Spyglass." The trilogy follows Lyra an urchin who lives in a universe not unlike our own as she battles the totalitarian forces of the Magisterium, a global religious consortium. The series has drawn three distinct readerships. It was first picked up, unsurprisingly, by young adults. With her sharp tongue, stout heart and impressive gift for lying, Lyra makes a pretty delicious preteen heroine. She starts life as the ward of Jordan College in Oxford, but her peaceful existence comes to an end when neighbor children begin to disappear. Mysterious adults are snatching kids off the street and spiriting them, it is whispered, to an ominous fortress far in the North. When they take Lyra's best friend, Roger, she decides she must save him. And so her propulsively plotted journey begins.

Extractions: There will be a new Children's movie out in December called THE GOLDEN COMPASS. It is written by Phillip Pullman, a proud athiest who belongs to secular humanist societies. He hates C. S. Lewis's Chronical's of Narnia and has written a trilogy to show the other side. The movie has been dumbed down to fool kids and their parents in the hope that they will buy his trilogy where in the end the children kill God and everyone can do as they please. Nicole Kidman stars in the movie so it will probably be advertised a lot. This is just a friendly warning that you sure won't hear on the regular TV.
