    Wildly comic, deadly serious, and strikingly original, C.S. Lewis's masterpiece is one of the most engaging accounts of temptation---and triumph over it---ever written. In this audio dramatization, original music and a full cast bring the correspondence of the worldly wise demon Screwtape and his nephew Wormwood to life. Includes 10 new songs inspired by the classic book, four behind-the-scenes video documentary featurettes and a 5.1 surround sound mix. Four CDs, approx. 4 hours total.

    Serkis was a great choice. C. S. Lewis was a genius and his work should be presented by the best we have to offer.

      Why, he is an athiest.. of course being a child of the devil would make him a good choice. However, Max McClean did a much better job and he is born again, therfore has a better understanding of the wiles of the devil.

    This is honestly not only amazing as a theological piece, but it's also turned into a great dramatic piece as well: Screwtape, despite his years of experience and success, is still dead set on continuing his career through Wormwood, as he views the current demon education system to be inefficiently melodramatic. But as the Patient grows as a Christian and subsequently a good man, Screwtape's sanity starts to degenerate as he's confronted with true failure in the face of God for the first time.

    Andy Serkis really does a brilliant job. But I do think I prefer John Cleese's version. He approaches it much more like a bored English gentle man... Somehow to me that seem more terrifying than "demonic" voice.
    All that said, I am a huge fan of Serkis, he's brilliant and I think this recording was executed really well.

    I’m surprised that Andy Serkis decided to do this because it deals with themes of the devil and God.

Still not many Hollywood actors are Christians much less agree to be in that said production

    Andy Serkis is brilliant but his performance in this feels like it's not quite on point. In the book, Lewis seems to depict Screwtape's demeanor as that of a very decent Englishman (if not for all his evil intentions), not as this monstrous goblin that Serkis is performing. Again, Serkis is normally brilliant, but as Lewis says in the book, it is this over the top, melodramatic depiction of demonism that causes people not to take it seriously. Hopefully he tones it down during portions of the performance. I couldn't imagine how he would deliver "Your affectionate uncle, Screwtape" in the same melodramatic tone.

    • @theawesomenesspersonified
      @theawesomenesspersonified 5 лет назад +1

      The original introduction written by C. S. Lewis follows a similar pattern, in which Lewis claims to have "discovered" the correspondence between the demons. Of course the Screwtape Letters is purely fiction written by Lewis himself; but the "joke" was to, in a sense, fictionalize the truth and teach in reverse. Hence his introduction to the book furthering this concept in another way.
