The Golden Compass Brings Nietzsche to Narnia: The Philosophical Underpinnings of His Dark Materials Catholic Exchange ^ | December 4, 2007 | Marc T. Newman, Ph.D. Posted on Tue Dec 4 17:49:42 2007 by NYer When parents look at the beautiful covers adorning the gift-boxed sets of Philip Pullman's fantasy series, His Dark Materials, they might be forgiven for believing that these books follow in the tradition of J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings or C.S. What Pullman's promoters desperately hope is that parents will not get beyond the colorful covers, which appear to depict nothing more than an action/fantasy series filled with talking animals, exciting battles, and a child protagonist.

Alexandre Desplat à la croisée des mondes »UnderScores : le magazine de la musique de film. Compositeur : Alexandre Desplat Durée : 74:03 | 26 pistes Éditeur : New Line Records Au premier abord, la présence d’Alexandre Desplat au générique de The Golden Compass avait de quoi surprendre.
Le compositeur, plutôt connu pour des travaux assez intimistes, des films de Jacques Audiard à ceux de Stephen Frears, allait devoir rassurer tous ceux qui pouvaient douter de ses capacités à mettre en musique un film à grand spectacle, ambitieux et monumental, riche en thèmes marquants et en séquences d’action.

Admirers of Philip Pullman's 1995 His Dark Materials trilogy think the film guts the backbone of the book. Me, I just think it blows.

Worlds where Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy was turned into a series of blockbuster movies, each better than the last. And worlds like ours, where the series crapped the bed after a single bloated, confused outing that was mired in meddling and flaccid compromise, and succeeded only in enraging everybody that it was supposed to pander to.
The Golden Compass Movie Review (2007. "The Golden Compass" is a darker, deeper fantasy epic than the "Rings" trilogy, "The Chronicles of Narnia" or the "Potter" films.
It springs from the same British world of quasi-philosophical magic, but creates more complex villains and poses more intriguing questions. As a visual experience, it is superb. As an escapist fantasy, it is challenging. Teenagers may be absorbed and younger children may be captivated; some kids in between may be a little conflicted, because its implications are murky. They weren't murky in the original 1995 novel, part of the His Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman, a best seller in Britain, less so here. For most families, such questions will be beside the point.

In 2007, when first installment The Golden Compass was released, it looked to have all the right ingredients: moppet actors, spectacular battles, a sexy baddie, Ian McKellen, snow. But no sequels were made. Why? Actor Sam Elliot thinks he knows. The Golden Compass (trailer) À la croisée des mondes - La boussole d'or (2007.
