CRYSTAL FAIRY AND THE MAGICAL CACTUS: THE SALTY POPCORN REVIEW – MOVIE POSTER
REVIEW BY JK
CRYSTAL FAIRY AND THE MAGICAL CACTUS is written and directed by Sebastián Silva (Magic Magic, The Maid) and is a take on his actual journey backpacking through Chile. He really did meet “Crystal Fairy” on his journeys. It is arrogant youth travelling through the countryside trying to get high and experience the joys of no responsibility in life while letting loose. For that it could be fun and an experience I would love to have.
The lead character, Michael Cera is most of the times hysterical in film. I thoroughly enjoy him on film and he was one of the reasons I was attracted to this film, but his character is so annoying and frustrating and self centred I just wanted to punch him in the throat. He is boorish and selfish and basically, a true arrogant asshole, and this is where the film turned for me. He was so annoying I just did not want him to talk. Yes, it was his character, and he did it justice, but when you do not want the lead character in the film to talk you end up in trouble.
CRYSTAL FAIRY AND THE MAGICAL CACTUS: THE SALTY POPCORN REVIEW – MICHAEL CERA HUGGING THE CACTUS
The Chilean mates in the film are harmless support but you hardly even notice them, they are just the travelling partners. Then there is Gaby Hoffman as Crystal Fairy, she owns this film – I loved her onscreen, ok, excluding her huge hairy armpits and vagina getting a lot of screen time. But she is remarkable in this performance, she is trippy and out there and basically feminist insane and is treated like shit by Jamie (Cera). Like most things she takes it in her stride of worldly experience but she was the only thing that kept me interested in this film.
The making of this film was more enjoyable to read about than the film itself. Apparently a huge amount of fun was had with Cera actually living with Silva in Chile for a few months, most of the lines being adlibbed and no doubt, they really did get fucked up on cactus.

The film itself lacked direction and was instead randomly spontaneous in its creation as it was in its dialogue. Considering it was basically made on the fly with a general plot in mind the film is quite passable. But Cera was too annoying for me and the film’s purpose was pretty much nonexistent and silly. The film is no Fear and Loathing for South American Cactus and is instead a travel journal video from an annoying arrogant American twenty something. This will appeal to a lot of people though, as it does contain a lot of humour, just get past Cera and you will be fine 🙂

In addition to their ability to manipulate the elements, magical destroyers can also summon dark creatures to aid them in their quests for destruction. These creatures can range from mindless brutes to cunning and intelligent beings, each with their own unique abilities to wreak havoc upon the world. The motives behind the actions of magical destroyers can vary. Some are driven by a desire for power and control, seeking to dominate all those around them. Others may be driven by a sense of vengeance, seeking to exact retribution upon those they believed wronged them. Regardless of their motives, the result is always the same - widespread devastation and chaos. Attempts to stop or defeat magical destroyers are often met with great difficulty. Their mastery over magic allows them to shrug off attacks and counter with even greater force. Heroes and armies may band together to try and stop their rampage, but often find themselves outmatched and outgunned. Despite the immense power wielded by magical destroyers, there is often a glimmer of hope. Prophecies and legends speak of a chosen one or a fated hero who will rise up to stop the destruction and restore balance to the world. These heroes must go on perilous quests and face countless challenges in order to confront and defeat the magical destroyers. The concept of magical destroyers serves as a reminder of the inherent dangers that come with the pursuit of power and the consequences of unchecked ambition. It also highlights the importance of balance and harmony in the world, as the actions of these beings threaten to upset the delicate equilibrium of the realm. In conclusion, magical destroyers are feared and respected entities in the realm of fantasy. Their immense power and destructive capabilities make them formidable enemies. However, they also serve as a reminder of the need for balance and the consequences of unchecked ambition..
