Narnia Film's Susan Interviewed

Posted by tom | Aug 2, 2005

Here's an interview of Anna Popplewell, the actress who plays Susan in the soon to be released Narnia film. Below is an excerpt, where she addresses the question, "For Christians, Aslan represents Jesus in many ways. Do you ever think of it that way?"

For me, I read the books as simply stories. I think what they represent about human relationships can be interpreted in any way, in the same way that any book is a piece of literature and is open to other interpretations. The film is an adaptation of that piece of literature and will still be open to interpretation. I think in the same way that people may read the book in different ways, people will interpret the film in different ways. For those who look for the Christian symbolism in it, it will be there. And for those who don't wish to be confronted with it, they won't be confronted with it. But for me it's really a story about human relationships.
