Three Witches and Their Late Night "Flixes"
By:Kayla Steward
Hello and welcome to the Flicks of the Witches! We are the witches from Macbeth, and this is our compilation of our favorite movies to watch when we're not busy prophesying and trying to fix the problems of mortals debating on whether to choose life or death. You'd think people would get the idea that whether or not they know their fate, they're going to end up fulfilling it anyway! But, back to our queue!
This queue is compiled of our top four most favorite movies of all time. Each movie is so very relatable and fits the needs of us as witches. We are constantly tired of watching these stupid romantic movies and comedies that are so unrealistic and don't conform to our needs of a good flick. But now we have found five movies that not only can we watch over and over again, but are perfect escapes from constantly having to worry about everyone's needs and that give us a sense of understanding. As if the creators of each movie knows exactly how we feel and how underestimated we are as witches!
Hercules:
Now this movie is for children, and we know this. But it is absolutely entertaining and brings humor to us as witches! We love how as soon as the witches come into play, the movie automatically deepens in suspense. The way the witches grip Hades on to each word of their description of his fate against Hercules is scrumptious. The way they build him up to think he will rule, but will soon be defeated by Hercules is prices. Of course the overall movie is very kid-friendly, yet satisfyingly amusing, it still make us as witches still feel like we are in control and that we have so much power when it comes to the fate of others. The witches in this movie are very stern, yet clever. They tell Hades what he wants to hear and also what he needs to, but it is so very relatable how it all turns on him and no matter how he tries to avoid his fate, destiny is right there to kick him in the butt. We recommend this movie to any powerful woman, or even man, who love a good movie that understands what it's like to be a clever witch, with a keen sense of humor and entertainment.
Twitches:
Twitches is probably one of the most ironic of movies for witches to watch, because in this movie, not only do the twins not want to be witches, but they when they do realize they have to be witches, they use their power to protect the ones they love. Granted, we are all a bunch of magic suckers for a good family movie, but we also enjoy a little sense of relief and difference. We as witches aren't all about power and fate, we also like to have fun and help the people we love. The three of us treat each other like sisters. Triplets if you will! This movie was gripping and moving, but also very powerful. Even though the girls didn't to be witches, they put aside their wants and needs for good of their mother's life. It teaches a lesson to all witches out there that being a witch isn't all about cursing people and casting spells, it's also about protecting one another, no matter the cost. We loved the separated at birth, but bonded by magic theme. It really made us appreciate the bond we share as witches even more.
The Originals
Okay, so this series is probably our all time favorite series. Not just because of the huge variation and percentage of witch in this show, but also because we all have a sweet spot for a good-looking vampire or werewolf. Shh, don't judge! But anyways. We all love this series. Each episode has you gripping to the edge of your seat. The suspense is killer and the twists are spectacular. Each episode leaves you hanging at the end, and it's funny because we could very easily conjure up a spell to figure out what the next episode is about. But what fun would that be! The show is very realistic and shows much appreciation to witches everywhere. The use of nature and the idea that nature and our ancestors are what fuel our magic and keep us strong and powerful. We as witches are forced to use nature as our power sources, and many times mortals underestimate that. But not this show. This show shows so much appreciation and recognition of the hard work we put in into keeping the balance of the world even and steady. We recommend this to anybody, but especially witches when they're feeling a bit neglected or under appreciated.
The Crucible
Now you might find this one a bit ironic. Considering the fact that the entire movie is about exposing fake or real witches and murdering everyone who claims to be a witch or have accusations made against them about being witches, but anyways.This movie is about romance, which is something that we aren't very fond of, but it's not too romantic to the point that we have to stop the movie. We enjoy this movie not really for a reason at all, but the fact that it makes us appreciate how appreciated witches are in our world. In this movie, if you're a witch, you're automatically deemed evil and cruel and doomed to cast hell upon every creature with a pulse, but in our world, we are the help. The closure. The givers. We do not take. If someone is in need of a prophecy or a spell to make some of their troubles go away, we will fulfill those needs and wants, within circumstances at least. This movie has you questioning constantly whether or not the girls are faking the sorcery "cast" upon them, or if it's real. It's a movie that doesn't involve a lot of action. but not a lot of talking either. It makes you root for, ironically, the mortals, rather than the "witches". We recommend this movie to anyone, but specifically witches. Especially after a long day of nonsense rhymes, catching frogs and leaves for potions, and the constant repetition of the phrase "bubble, bubble, toil and trouble".
There you have it! It is a short list, and may grow in the near future, But if you're a witch or you're into the whole witch-vibe, you now know where to look for a good "Witch-Flick" for the night! Stay tuned next month for more of our reviews as the "Three Witches and Their Late Night Flicks!"
I really enjoyed your enthusiastic tone in this blog post! It really gave me an upbeat feel to the motives and actions of the witches throughout Macbeth. My original interpretation was that of negative characters who only wanted to decieve others, but this perspective makes it seem like they are nice! It was honestly a nice contrast to what I was expecting (and reading!) in these blog posts! Good job!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I really liked how you wrote in the perspective of the witches because it made it interesting to read. I agree with Paige that the recommendations were very different than what I would have expected, but it works! My favorite recommendation was for Twitches because I liked how you talked about the bond the witches share and how they would want to protect each other. Good job!
