Take a quintessential British novel, tart it up to make it more "American accessible," rip out its soul, and you get this pablum -- a movie manufactured to appeal to the shallow and immature.
The DiR is not about the "modern world colliding with" the production teams' made up "magic world." It is about a young boy waking up to the truth that he is actually a being of knowledge and mystery, and that the folk tales and innate magic of his simple village and British heritage are true and powerful.
