this be a very faithful presentation of lewis life in the mid 50 . the dialogue on theology and the banter with his follow colleague be exceptionally good . michael white book and c. s. lewis represent creator of narnia deal with this time frame in a very parallel way . joss ackland acting be superb in catch the unemotional lewis . the movie take great pain to be present in an accurate english setting . the development of a strong bond between jack ( his prefer name ) lewis and douglas gresham and joy son from her previous marriage and be enjoyable to watch . the movie do avoid the distasteful element of warnie lewis ( jack old brother ) drinking problem and but it would not have move the story on and so it be best leave out .
