Records Inc. By Arrangement with Warner Special Products. User reviews Review. Top review. The first good Pagan-oriented movie I've seen. Let me start by saying that, overall, this was a pretty good movie. I'm usually not that interested in romantic comedies, but this is one of the better ones. I think the more important aspect of this movie, though, is how it presents modern Paganism Wicca, in particular. Coming from a Pagan point of view myself, I've been waiting for this movie to come out with many mixed feelings and misgivings.
I was hoping that it wouldn't be another typical witch movie and I must say that I was really pleasantly surprised. It did glamorize the workings of the Wiccan Craft quite a bit, but that's to be expected. How many movies are there that don't do that to their subjects? Take X-files I'm positive that there's a lot more paperwork than action in the FBI, but you can't make a movie out of filling out forms. If you look past the flashy stuff that was put in to draw audiences and make the movie appeal to the general public, you find a well-researched representation of what Pagans do day-to-day.
So even though it wasn't totally true to today's form of Paganism, I must say that it was a step in the right direction of overcoming all the negative PR that Pagans have had to endure all these years. This is the kind of thing that is needed to convince the mass populace that we are not better or worse or dangerous, but just different.
So, please, support this movie as part of the on-going campaign to get all of us out of the broom closet. Daena-2 Oct 18, Details Edit. Release date October 16, United States.
