The Golden Compass is a 2007 British-American fantasy-adventure film based on
Northern Lights, the first novel in Philip Pullman's trilogy His Dark Materials.
Written and as a consequence directed by Chris Weitz, it famous actors Dakota
Blue Richards, Daniel Craig, Avoi Green, Tom Courtenay, Christopher Lee, Nicole
Kidman and Sam Elliott. The activity was announced in February 2002, when you
follow the success of recent adaptations together with other fantasy epics, but
troubles greater than the script and the selection of most a director caused
significant delays. Near US$180 million, it was one concerning New Line Cinema's
most expensive tasks ever, and its middling success in about the USA
contributed to New Line's February 2008 restructuring.
The story depicts
the outings of Lyra Belacqua, an orphan living in a parallel environment on a
world that physical appearance much like our own. Through Lyra's world, a
dogmatic owning power called the Magisterium will conspiring to end tolerance
and after that free inquiry. Poor, orphan, and Gyptian children are disappearing
in the hands of a group the children call the Gobblers. when Lyra discovers that
Mrs. Coulter is running the Gobblers, your girl flees. Rescued by the Gyptians,
Lyra joins them on a visit to the far north, to be able to the land of the
armored polar bears, in search of the the missing children.
Before its
release, the the silver screen received criticism from secularist companies and
fans of His Brown Materials for the dilution of the the anti-religious elements
from unquestionably the novels, as well as between some religious organisations
for the particular source material's anti-Catholic themes. Usually the studio
ordered significant changes latter in post-production, which Weitz later called
a "terrible" experience. although the film's visual effects (which Weitz has
called the film's "most successful element") won each and every a BAFTA and an
School Award, critical reception was put together.
