Narnia and Christian Fascism

We all know that The Chronicles of Narnia serve as Christian allegories.
The current film adaptation of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is part of a conservative Christian agenda!
It is a joint production of Walt Disney Pictures and Walden Media owned by Philip Anschutz.

Anschutz is a right-wing oil magnate, media mogul, and owner of the largest motion picture exhibitor in the world.
He is also part owner of LA Lakers, LA Kings, SJ Earthquakes, Staples Center, Union Pacific Corp, Forest Oil Corp, uranium mines, coal mines, cattle ranches, the Knight Ridder newspaper chain, and more than 335,000 acres of agricultural land.

Anschutz controls every aspect of the culture he produces and distributes. As he said, "So you need to control the type of writers you have, the type of directors you get, the type of actors you emply, and the type of editors that work on the final project."
I guess we know who is going to get those jobs!


He also demanded that biopic, Ray, tone down any focus on drug problems and sexual exploits.
With Ray doing so well, you can bet his right-wing flavor influenced other films (I am thinking Walk The Line).

The Anschutz Corporation and assorted members of the Anschutz family are major contributors to Christian fundamentalist and right-wing causes:

-nearly $700,000 to the GOP and its candidates (between 1995 and 2000)
-funding Colorado's anti-gay constitutional amendment
-campaigns against single parenting
-Morality in the Media
