The real magic of this movie was turning that awful book into such an enjoyable movie.
Someone behind the scenes really understood what women want when watching witches, and it certainly wasn't the claptrap in the novel.
I used to admire this movie for being enjoyable, fun, sexy, beautiful, bewitching... But after reading the source material, I now admire it for things I didn't even notice before.
The relationship between the sisters (all three pairs), mothers and daughters, aunts and nieces, neighbours, enemies, lovers, abusers and the abused. Its a study of how these relationships can save you (even from yourself).
It's also a look into who you are and how you fit in. If everyone thinks you are a witch, do you own it or fight it? Do you care?
Will you allow the curses of your ancestors to wreck havoc on the descendants they never lived to meet?
This movie brings up so many questions about the human spirit and how we work with or against one another. And I could only see that once I saw the original story about selfish people with no connection to other humans.
The script writer was practically magic!
