Fear stems from the unknown, sin stems from desire

"Witch" is different from ordinary horror movies. There is no scene that can scare us visually. The director has painstakingly made a lot of emotional foreshadowing. The lonely land surrounded by mountains and forests, a family separated from society, mysterious witches, and strange animals are quiet and weird. Even if it is dull, it is difficult not to be brought into the atmosphere created by the film. Fear stems from the unknown, and sin stems from desire. The theme of the movie is actually the core of the original sin of Christianity. The heroine’s father represents deception and arrogance, and her mother represents hypocrisy and anger. Her brother is lust, and the twins are talking about right and wrong. Only the heroine is a symbol of true purity, but the beginning of fear is doomed to the end of destruction.

The Witches quotes

  • [first lines]

    Older Hero Mouse: [chuckles] All right, then. Where were we? Oh, yeah. That's right. Now, I remember. A note about witches. See, here's the thing about them: they're real! Witches are as real as a rock in your shoe. That's the first thing you need to know. The second thing you need to know, they're here! And they live amongst us... side by side, with humans. In every big city in every small town. For all you know, a witch might be living right next door to you right now. They're everywhere! A witch might be a nurse, or your teacher, and you can bet your sweet patootie that friendly, little old lady on the bus offering you a delicious piece of saltwater taffy is a witch. And here's the most important thing, the most important thing: Witches hate children! A witch spends all her time thinking up ways to destroy children. That's all she thinks about: "How will I squish this horrible child?" A witch gets the same pleasure from squishing a child as you get from eating a bowl of ice cream covered in butterscotch syrup, with whipped cream, chopped nuts and a cherry on top.

  • Older Hero Mouse: My story begins during the last month of 1968. Believe it or not, I was once a young boy.
