Witch

It is very religious, showing me the misery of the Puritans in New England in the medieval world. The film does not pay much attention to some scary little tricks, but puts a lot of effort into the rendering of the atmosphere and the depiction of the picture. I can deeply feel that this family is heading for destruction step by step. Satan finally used the weaknesses of everyone in the family and the contradictions and injustices within the family to completely destroy the family. The fundamental reason is that the dark side of everyone’s heart is Being oppressed by the environment and having to show up, he was caught and used by the devil. Only the eldest daughter was truly innocent, but she was framed by the whole family and went into the abyss. On the downside, uh, this horror movie is not too scary! !

The Witch quotes

  • [first lines]

    William: [before the court] What went we out into this wilderness to find? Leaving our country, kindred, our fathers' houses? We have travailed a vast ocean. For what? For what?

    Governor: We must ask thee to be silent!

    William: Was it not for the pure and faithful dispensation of the Gospels, and the Kingdom of God?

    Old Slater: No more! We are *your* judges, and not you ours!

    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.
