Plot summary Sophie, who is not loved by her family and friends, and Agatha, who is in the same situation, are girls who have relied on each other for a long friendship since childhood. One day, Sophie comes to pray that she goes to a magic school, which is her wish, and the two arrive there by chance. It was a “good and evil” school, but each of them fell to a different school, and their friendship began to break. And their fate will also be in danger of changing.

In fact, fairy tale movies are more like fairy tales than fairy tales, and they spend a lot of money telling stories about the world that cannot be distinguished by the black-and-white logic of good and evil, and the dangers of chaos that exist beyond them. It is also true that it does not seem necessary to do so. This movie, which lists all virtues representing “good” such as love, truth, pity, friendship, and loyalty, and seems to create a fairy tale-like children’s play rather than a fairy tale, is so different. It should not be forgotten that most of the settings that metaphor using contrast and relativity appears in the movie are based on the “relativity and contrast” structure. The main character, white Sophie, is placed in a relatively dark “evil” school and black Agatha in a “good” school. At the same time, it does not seem strange to see black Professor Dobby in the “good” school and white Professor Leso in the “bad” school. In addition, the costumes are made by mixing black and white.

Previous imageNext image Sophie and Agatha, original image source: IMDB, in fact, this was something you could see from the opening. The first brothers who created the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry seem to adhere to the Blue and Red concept from costumes and magic. Therefore, even if we close our eyes, we could see that we were the person who symbolized evil in the red costume. In other words, it can only be considered a very one-dimensional production that expresses a blatant metaphor. The difference in the quality of the characters, worldviews, and scripts of “Witch School of Witchcraft and Wizardry” (VS Harry Potter) is too big, so it looks comical to compare. It is no wonder that the main characters Sophie and Agatha are more interested in Charlize Theron, who are familiar to us. As such, factors such as the low recognition of the main character, awkward and excessive acting ability, and the image completely different from the appearance of the princesses in fairy tales give off a completely different feeling from the “Harry Potter” children we know well.

Previous imageNext image Professor Dobby (good), Lady Lesso (evil), Agatha (good), Sophie (evil), original image source: How was the utilization of IMDB “magic”? Other than Rafal’s main weapon, “The Magic of Blood,” there seems to be no particularly memorable magic. In fact, most of the productions in this movie, called magic, can only be seen in the latter half of the school, except for the use of weapons in fighting sequences. Along with small magic tricks such as pigeon and eagle shapes. It’s so strange what kind of magic he showed while ostensibly calling it a “magic school.” Previous imageNext image Professor Dobby (good), Lady Lesso (evil), Agatha (good), Sophie (evil), original image source: How was the utilization of IMDB “magic”?

Previous image Next image Agasa, Emma, Dobby, and Principal (Lawrence Fishburne), Villan, Original Image Source: The absence of various and fresh subplots is cited as the third of IMDB. It seems that there is no subplot itself that can establish the identity and charm of the movie, such as Harry Potter’s “Quidditch” match, from the beginning. Even if it is accepted as much as possible, it cannot be confirmed anywhere except for the survival match between Sophie and Tedros in the second half. Many of the stories consumed in movies are made up of stories about winning love, preserving friendships, and being a master of law. CG technology isn’t the only answer. The movie, which boasts brilliant action and computer graphics technology from the opening, relies on computer graphics all the way to the ending. The stunt action, which has been directed in fantasy movies for the first time in a while, is also considered to be quite excellent and wonderful, but it is also true that the lack of such high-end technology consumption in magic directions that do not appear in many kinds is very great. CG was used to add dramatic effects to plots, i.e., stories and events, and should not be concentrated on simple backgrounds or tools.

Considering the title of the general evaluation and the flow of the early story, I wondered if the story the director was trying to say was about “boundary and equilibrium.” These are the existing ambiguity that defines good and evil, the world that cannot be defined by black and white logic, and the price and battle for the invasion of boundaries. In the end, the movie ended with an emphasis on “integration.” However, the problem is that only colorful CGs remain due to fairy tale-like scripts, narratives, and borrowings rather than fairy tales. I don’t know what the world view of the original book is, but it seems difficult to get a good evaluation unless everything is reversed.
