The Golden Compass
October 25, 2007

Golden Compass is a trilogy based on novel by Philip Pullman. On this first part, the story concerns about Lyra, an orphan living in a fantastical parallel universe in which a dogmatic dictatorship, the Magisterium, threatens to dominate. When Lyra's friend is kidnapped, she travels to the far North in an attempt to rescue him.

A person's soul lives on the outside of their body, in the form of a dæmon - an animal spirit that accompanies them through life.

A child's dæmon can change shape, assuming all the forms that a child's potential inspires; but as a person ages, their dæmon gradually settles into one form, according to their character and nature. A person's dæmon is usually of the opposite sex to its human partner.

My favorite scene is when The Witches joined the war ! it was beautiful, and also the scene where human get killed and their dæmon vanished became a dust, as when your dæmon die the human are also die and vice versa.

Looking forward for thw sequels - The Subtle Knife and The Amber Spyglass.
