So for my film I decided to watch The Crucible. I actually saw this movie for the first time when we read the play manuscript in my English class sophomore year of highschool. It’s been almost 6 years (wow, does time fly!) and I haven’t seen it since so I had forgotten a lot of it. However, I did remember that I had truly enjoyed the movie and it fit within our time range so that is why I chose it. I know that one of the girls in our class, my friend Mary Kate is actually doing her research paper on the Salem Witch Trials. This movie deals a little bit with similair circumstances so check it out Mary Kate! =)
The movie is based around these witch trials. It all starts when these two girls claim that one of their friends is a witch. In the movie it seems to me that the girls are doing this out of jealousy and anger but it is said in research that there is a possibilyt that these girls were actually hallucinating and seeing things, not just making it up. Dr. Berg mentioned that there was some research that there may have been some kind of a mold in the food then that caused these hallucinations.
Overall the movie was great and I really enjoyed it. I felt like they did a good job of portraying things to a good sense of reality but of course, it’s Hollywood, so they did spice it up a little bit.
I will add more soon.
