Discovering Mere Christianity at the Movies (Tarzan)

Today, we’ll take a look at the 1999 Disney carton, Tarzan, in which , a baby is orphaned when a leopard kills his shipwrecked parents. Raised by an ape named Kala, he is reluctantly adopted into the family of the Great Apes. Believing the apes are his family, he discovers that he’s actually human when he rescues a woman named Jane. As they fall in love, they come to see each other’s worlds with new eyes, and move from being “in love” to being committed to each other through love. We’ll consider this question from C.S. Lewis’ book, Mere Christianity by asking: If you truly love someone, why wouldn’t you want to also live in their world?
