The Golden Compass: Defining Daemons

Based on author Philip Pullman's bestselling and award-winning novel, The Golden Compass tells the first story in Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy. The Golden Compass is an exciting fantasy adventure, set in an alternative world where people's souls manifest themselves as animals, talking bears fight wars, and Gyptians and witches co-exist. At the center of the story is Lyra (played by newcomer Dakota Blue Richards), a 12-year-old girl who starts out trying to rescue a friend who's been kidnapped by a mysterious organization known as the Gobblers - and winds up on an epic quest to save not only her world, but ours as well. The Golden Compass stars an ensemble cast that includes Nicole Kidman, Daniel Craig, Sam Elliott, and Ian McShane. The film is written and directed by Chris Weitz (About A Boy, Antz) and produced by Deborah Forte and Bill Carraro (Frequency). It is executive produced by Andrew Miano and Paul Weitz (In Good Company). The Golden Compass is scheduled for a Dec. 7, 2007 release.

@filly07 - WELL SAID!THEY refer to it as DEMON beacause they (Hollywood) wish to DEMONISE the term Daemon,they want to keep the masses from knowing the TRUTH. I dont appreciate this but I can see through it. If the masses thought there was any truth to this they would not put up with all the cr@p the establishment give us. The very fact that hollywood referred to it this way tells me there MUST be some truth to it. Check out Anthony Peake website and books on this...very interesting indeed.

I haven't watched it so I don't know about the catholic protest side - but every child has a pet demon?

And the church not liking this is bad?

Seems pretty clear cut to me.

[yewpipeful]

daemons are surely same as the subconscious?

I'd want to have a kitten cuz I think I am uber playful and curious, it would cool cuz it would never grow up.

@anon4th Youre right, the corruption in the catholic church is the same corruption as in any other big organisation, but the whole point of the catholic church is (or so they claim) to have moral authority. Any way my family are catholics so i couldnt bring myself to discriminate against the individuals. Anyway, the book's protest against the church was brilliant, this film was a shitty new-age disney remake.
