Witches, Witches, and
more Witches
This week I chose to read a short
story about a retelling of the classic tale of Cinderella with a twist. The
twist being she has magic. No fairy godmother, just a tree, a bird, and
Cinderella herself. I thought it was quite interesting that instead of the girl
kind of relaying on others to get to her prince, she mostly got it done by
herself, with the uses of her spells.
In class we watched Kiki delivery
service, I movie I have watch multiply times and love more each time I view it.
Thought she is a witch, the movie still has her going through things we can all
understand. Fitting in, finding your place in the world, and gaining confidence
in yourself to be whoever you want to be. Which to me is a great way to get
your audience to connect to a character even though you don’t have powers.
Another movie I saw was Suspiria. It was my first time
watching it and it was very interesting type of witch movies. I didn’t really
know it was a movie about witches until the last act of the movie. You assume
something bad is happening in the school, but if I wasn’t told this movie was
about witches then it would have taken me by surprise to find out that the
headmaster and the other teachers were all witches. Very nicely done movies in
terms of visually and in story as well. I find it nothing more evil than a
teacher taking advantage of their students.
