Asked by Erin

For my movie poster, I decided to do one on the movie "Maleficent". I still don't know what to write for critic reviews focusing on the theme and plot.
Answered by Ms. Sue
Have you seen this movie? What is the plot? What do you think the theme is?
Answered by Erin
The plot is that there was a young faerie named Maleficent who fell in love with a human. The human (Stefan) stopped seeing her as they got older, and intended to kill her so he could become king. Instead, he cut off her wings as proof that he killed her. When Maleficent heard about this, she was furious. Later on, she wanted to take revenge by casting a spell on King Stefan's new-born child, Aurora.

The theme is that you will regret taking revenge.
Answered by Ms. Sue
This doesn't make sense. Weren't Maleficent's wings cut off?

Answered by Erin
Yes.
Answered by Ms. Sue
Then what does the next sentence mean?

"When Maleficent heard about this, she was furious. "
Answered by Erin
When Maleficent heard that Stefan cut her wings off so he could become King, she was furious.
Answered by Ms. Sue
Oh. OK.

Now can you summarize what you wrote in a critical two sentence review?
Answered by Erin
A faerie named Maleficent decided to cast a spell on the King and Queens new-born named Aurora. She did this in revenge of King Stefan cutting off her wings.
Answered by Erin
If I'm putting it down on the poster, do I write it as it is or do I write it like this:

"A faerie named Maleficent decided to cast a spell on the King and Queens new-born named Aurora. She did this in revenge of King Stefan cutting off her wings." -
Answered by Ms. Sue
I wouldn't use quotation marks. Did she actually cast the spell on the baby?

Answered by Erin
It was more of a curse.
Answered by Ms. Sue
What's the difference between a curse and a spell?

What I'm trying to find out is if Maleficient just wanted to cast a curse or spell or she really did.
Answered by Elle
She really did cast the spell, but it could only be broken with true love's kiss.
Answered by Ms. Sue
Erin/Elle -- Please use the same name for your posts!

Then you should reword your review:

"A faerie named Maleficent cast a spell . . ."
Answered by Erin
Where do I put it on the poster?
Answered by Ms. Sue
I'd put it near the bottom over a part that doesn't really contribute to the main idea.
