3.0 out of 5 stars Is it about Lewis? July 12 2004
By Jeffrey A. Thompson
Format:DVD
The movie was done well. The cast was magnificent. The scenes of the Oxford Campus were beautiful. The story drew me in. However, it did not present Lewis very well. First, it presents Lewis as being rather naive about suffering. He kept giving the same sermon over and over and implies that did not really understand suffering. This is not so. His mother died when he was very young. He was a soldier in World War 2. His close friend, Charles Williams, died around this period of his life. Second, the movie left the viewer with the impression that Lewis left his simple Christianity and grew into a better understanding of the world. He truly suffered when Joy died as the book, "A Grief Observed" describes beautifully, but he did not leave the faith.

I like the BBC version better. It is closer to the original play.

I recommend the movie, because it well done. However, I do not recommend the movie as a way to learn more about C. S. Lewis. It is a beautiful, fictional love story.

3.0 out of 5 stars the hollywood-ized version of an interesting love story April 7 2004
By Miss Tresninos
Format:DVD
When I discovered this movie was being made I was so excited. Unfortunately I spent most of my viewing time thinking, it didn't happen that way and WHERE IS HER OTHER KID?!?

But, if you know absolutely nothing about CS and Joy Lewis' life together and know nothing much about CS and Joy Lewis at all, you will enjoy this movie. It is a well-made, Hollywood love story. The acting is excellent and the storyline is compelling. Just keep in mind that this is NOT how it really happened and PLEASE go read for yourself the true story.

Oh, yeah, don't forget the Kleenex. It's a three box-er.

Immensely moving, with a stunning, complex performance by Anthony
Hopkins, and a very good one by Debra Winger as his slow developing

3.0 out of 5 stars a mediocre cover...
Despite the top-notch acting, I felt this movie did not approach the quality of the BBC movie, "Surprised By Joy," which preceeded it by several years.

2.0 out of 5 stars C.S. Lewis for dummies.
A shamelessly tear-jerking soap opera from that paragon of conventionality, Richard Attenborough. *Shadowlands* will seem a lot better to those who don't know much about C.S. Read more
