Amazing. Great. Ingenious.

A man is showing a gaggle of kids a slideshow about witches. He then begins to recount his encounter with witches.

It’s Chicago, 1968. A car overturns and while the parents do not survive the accident, the man (as a boy) lives through the crash. He is taken by his grandma who lives in Demopolis, and is described as a person who would give a good spanking or a warm hug based on your actions. One day, Grandma buys the boy a cute little white rat, who is known as Daisy. One day, to make a house for Daisy, the boy heads for the supermarket to buy nails. At the market, Grandma tells the boy to get rust-proof nails. The boy there has his first encounter with a witch. To escape from the witches, the boy and his grandma [SB1] flee to the most luxurious hotel in all of Alabama. Over there, the ‘royal society for the prevention of cruelty to children is arriving today. In the same banquet as the one where the boy is teaching Daisy a few tricks, the ‘society’ has their meeting. He realizes that they are the American witch society. Want to know more? Watch the movie!

SUPER! It was amazing. The main good thing is Anne Hathaway’s acting as the Grand High Witch of All the World. As you know, the protagonist’s name isn’t mentioned, but it was said on Twitter or somewhere that it’s Charlie (you know the what the reference is to 😉). As always, the later one is the better one, cuz it sticks to the book. For the 1990 one, Roald Dahl was publicly disappointed with that movie and he wanted it redone. That was fulfilled, but he was unable to watch it, the same was with Charlie and the Chocolate factory, the 1971 one disappointed him so much that he refused to give the rights for Great Glass Elevator to become a movie. Anyways, this is the way to identify a witch.

·         They’re bald. They wear wigs which give them horrible rashes.

·         They always wear gloves as they have abnormal hands.

·         They have no toes.

·         They always speak in a deep, raspy voice.

·         They have long big ‘titan’ [SB2] mouths.

Witches hate children.

I wholeheartedly recommend this movie because:

1.       The acting is amazing.

2.       The story is spot on.

3.       The characters are super!

4.       The portrayal of the Grand High Witch is incredible.

5.       Overall, THIS MOVIE IS SPOT ON! SPOT ON! SPOT ON!

 

 [SB1]Who? We have heard about only the boy? One person only, right?

 [SB2]What does this mean?

Oh my god, this movie is really a ride. Omkar Lele, or Ole, is a widower and single father who’s main aim is to live life at its fullest. Contrastingly, his son Aditya Lele, or Aale, is an extreme workaholic, constantly having calls, conferences, meetings, presentations, and having very little, if any time for himself and his family. How much ever Ole tries to get Aale to do anything, he never manages to do anything with him. One time, after Aale fails to appear for a dinner at home, Ole, in sadness, apparently flees the house. Confused, Aale and their house helper, Baburao, rush to the police station and ask everybody about Ole’s whereabouts. Turns out, Ole was always at home, simply hiding. It was all a ploy to get Aale to stay at home and cancel his meeting in Delhi. Du...
