Eugene, you would like Tron. When I was a kid, I went to this Christian retreat for a few different camps, and they always showed Tron sometime during the week. The leader thought it was allegorical, right up there with Chronicles of Narnia.

I saw Tron for the first time at a cinema when I was about eight. It's one of those films, though it's probably dated now, that as a kid really fired up my imagination.

The funny thing is, C.S. Lewis said Chronicles of Narnia was not an allegory.

I could believe that about Lord of the Rings, but not Chronicles of Narnia. I was six or seven when I read the first one, and even I picked up on the blatant, glaring symbolism.

Symbolism, yes. He intended symbolism. It just wasn't an allegory. Lord of the Rings doesn't even really have the symbolism. It's just strongly influenced by the author's world view.

Funny thing, it was Tolkien who was a devout Christian who put C.S. Lewis onto Christianity, yet it is Lewis who went on to write all those works about faith and such.
