Magic and machines have always been seen as two separate and distinct entities. Magic, with its association with the supernatural and unexplained, has captivated human imagination for centuries. On the other hand, machines represent the pinnacle of human innovation and technological advancement. These two seemingly contradictory concepts have often been portrayed as opposing forces in literature, movies, and folklore. In fantasy literature, magic and machines are often portrayed as existing in different realms or worlds. Magic is associated with characters such as wizards and witches who possess extraordinary powers and are able to manipulate the world around them using spells and incantations.

Besides the strength of its cast, the film's greatest asset is its choice to shoot the film using almost exclusively natural light. What's even more impressive is that the sun never shows its face once in the entire film, instead the film's climate is perpetually overcast which adds a whole 'nother level of dread to the proceedings. For interior scenes, candlelight proves to be the predominant source of light much as it should be in a film such as this. All of these period-authentic choices make The Witch not only an aesthetically dark and shadowy film but a very quiet film as well. If caught in a movie theatre, the film will be primarily scored by coughing noises or the sounds of the patrons shuffling in their seats. Needless to say, the film is a heavily atmospheric one and I'd venture to guess that it probably wouldn't lose much of its power even if the entire film was played on mute.

It s certainly a slow burn kind of film that takes its time to build suspense but the ultimate payoff just failed to reach my own personal level of anticipation. Everything from the costume design, to the film s desolate forest location and a copious use of natural lighting gives the film a hyper-realistic sense of authenticity.

Magic is associated with characters such as wizards and witches who possess extraordinary powers and are able to manipulate the world around them using spells and incantations. Machines, on the other hand, are depicted as the creation of human ingenuity and are often seen as a symbol of progress and advancement. However, in recent years, there has been a shift in the portrayal of magic and machines.

Review by Jeremie Richard

The Witch is a film that's bound to be polarizing to the average filmgoer. It's one of the few films I remember going to see theatrically where I heard audible giggles within the audience during certain scenes that the film treated with the utmost deadly seriousness. Obviously, I wasn't fortunate enough to share a theatre with the film's target audience. Back luck aside, the most polarizing films can oftentimes be the most fascinating ones. If nothing else, The Witch is an interesting snapshot into a period in our history not often portrayed on screen. Written and directed by first time filmmaker Robert Eggers, The Witch is the story of a family in exile from their plantation who settle on an extremely secluded patch of land in 1630s New England. Things take a turn for the worse once the family's infant son Samuel disappears under mysterious circumstances. The film stars a cast of relative unknowns including Anya Taylor-Joy, Anya Taylor-Joy and Kate Dickie.

Eggers, according to an intertitle at the end of the film, based most of the dialogue in the film on the vernacular used in diary entries of real people who lived in colonial America during the same era depicted in the film. This proved to be only the beginning of the painstaking lengths the filmmakers were willing to go to in order to replicate 17th century America as authentically as possible. Everything from the costume design, to the film's desolate forest location and a copious use of natural lighting gives the film a hyper-realistic sense of authenticity. Only heightening this air of legitimacy is the film's impeccable cast. Each actor in the film look just like they fell out of the pages of a John Smith chronicle. Simply put, the film would've totally unraveled were it not for the dedication of its actors. Even the child actors completely nail down their roles to a point where I was honestly taken aback at the level in which they were able to accurately convey a time and a place that they probably knew very little about ahead of time.

Besides the strength of its cast, the film's greatest asset is its choice to shoot the film using almost exclusively natural light. What's even more impressive is that the sun never shows its face once in the entire film, instead the film's climate is perpetually overcast which adds a whole 'nother level of dread to the proceedings. For interior scenes, candlelight proves to be the predominant source of light much as it should be in a film such as this. All of these period-authentic choices make The Witch not only an aesthetically dark and shadowy film but a very quiet film as well.

Needless to say, the film is a heavily atmospheric one and I'd venture to guess that it probably wouldn't lose much of its power even if the entire film was played on mute.

What's bound to turn off a lot of viewers is the film's emphasis on tone rather than actual frights or thrills. There's an overriding tension throughout the entire film, however the film is lacking when it comes to actual, honest-to-goodness scares. The Witch also leaves many of its mystery elements quite open-ended which is also bound to frustrate a lot of viewers looking for escapisms and easy answers. Truth be told, there are no easy answers provided in this film, it's totally up to you to make up your own mind about pretty much everything which I myself appreciated, albeit with a slightly tapered level of appreciation. It's certainly a slow burn kind of film that takes its time to build suspense but the ultimate payoff just failed to reach my own personal level of anticipation. I wouldn't call the film's ending anticlimactic but it was a disappointing one nonetheless. There's a fine line between keeping your audience wanting more and completely letting them down and it's a line that the film willfully zigzags through and from more than once.

With the rise of steampunk and other genres that blend fantasy and science fiction, the line between magic and technology has become blurred. In these stories, machines are powered by magical energy or are infused with magical properties, resulting in a hybrid of the two concepts. This blending of magic and machines raises interesting questions about the nature of reality and the limits of human imagination. It challenges the notion that magic and technology are mutually exclusive and suggests that they can coexist and even complement each other. This idea has been explored in various forms of media, from books and movies to video games. One example of this blending of magic and machines can be seen in the popular Harry Potter series. In this world, magic and technology are not completely separate. The use of wands and spells is intertwined with the use of magical objects such as flying broomsticks, enchanted mirrors, and talking portraits. Similarly, the magical creatures in the series, such as hippogriffs and house-elves, coexist with the more mundane technology of the wizarding world. In conclusion, the relationship between magic and machines is a complex and ever-evolving one. While traditionally seen as opposing forces, there is a growing acceptance that magic and technology can coexist and even enhance each other. This blending of the two concepts opens up new possibilities for storytelling and challenges our preconceived notions about the limits of human imagination and creativity..
