Roald Dahl The Witches Movie Download
The Witches is a children's fantasy novel by the British writer Roald Dahl.The story is set partly in Norway and partly in the United Kingdom, and features the experiences of a young British boy and his Norwegian grandmother in a world where child-hating societies of witches secretly exist in every country.
The film adaptation of Roald Dahl's classic ``The Witches' is a breathtaking spectacle that will delight a variety of viewers. Anjelica Huston is simply outstanding as 'The Grand High Witch.' She is the perfect actress to portray the dark, albeit laughable, character.
Luke (Jasen Fisher) is a young boy living with his grandmother, Helga (Mai Zetterling). Mai is perfectly cast as the doting, adventuresome grandmother. Helga regales Luke with stories of witches, dangerous creatures who seek to harm children. I particularly liked the lack of Americanization in this film, as opposed to a similar counterpart, the adaptation of ``Matilda.' The film stays true to the book for the majority. Unfortunately, the happy ending, which was loathed by Roald Dahl himself, detracts from the seemingly perfect adaptation.

Common Sense Note Parents need to know that this story has a genuinely twisted flavor that some children will love and others will find disturbing. Luke is exceptionally brave and enjoys being a mouse (in the movie, he is changed back, but in the book, he stays a mouse). Children may be upset not only by the witches, but also by the death (offscreen) of Luke's parents and his seeming indifference to it. Sexual Content Not applicable Violence Scary witches, children in peril, including baby in carriage pushed down a hill (and rescued), Luke's parents are killed in an (offscreen) accident, which does not seem to bother him too much. Language Not applicable Social Behavior Be brave. Consumerism Not applicable Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol Not applicable.
