The Tragic Witches Raised by the Broken Home

A very dark movie, I have been feeling very heavy and depressed when watching it. This movie should be renamed The Story of a Witch. Home was originally a place full of love and power, but due to suspicion and mistrust, a family was slowly divided. The film alludes to everyone's guilt, the brother's unreasonable thoughts about his sister, the arrogance of the twin sister, the weakness and hypocrisy of the father, the jealousy and resentment of the mother, and the existential crisis of the family. , When the daughter experienced and witnessed the cold and brokenness of a family, it was close to collapse, so the only kind and lovely child in the film chose darkness and embarked on the road of no return when she was most helpless and had no choice in life. Perhaps this is the only destination for her. The dark elements in the film are very powerful. It is a more realistic horror film. I hope that the inspiration from this film is: Home should be a place of trust, unity, tolerance, full of Love the place! Only love can break all darkness! The above are my personal opinions on watching the movie. If you don't like it, don't spray it. Please bear with me!

    William: I cannot be judged by false Christians, for I have done nothing, save preach Christ's true Gospel.

    Governor: Must you continue to dishonor the laws of the commonwealth and the church with your prideful conceit?

    William: If my conscience sees it fit.

    Governor: Then shall you be banished out of this plantation's liberties!

    William: I would be glad of it.

    Governor: Then take your leave, and trouble us no further.

    William: How sadly hath The Lord testified against you.

    William: [turning to leave] Katherine...

  • Thomasin: [walking gradually toward her sister] I be the witch of the wood.

    Mercy: Liar! Liar!

    Thomasin: I am.

    Caleb: List' not to her, Mercy.

    Thomasin: I am that very witch. When I sleep my spirit slips away from my body and dances naked with The Devil. That's how I signed his book.

    Mercy: No!

    Thomasin: He bade me bring him an unbaptized babe, so I stole Sam, and I gave him to my master. And I'll make any man or thing else vanish I like.
