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.
Have you seen this movie? What is the plot? What do you think the theme is?
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.
This doesn't make sense. Weren't Maleficent's wings cut off?
Yes.
Then what does the next sentence mean?
"When Maleficent heard about this, she was furious. "
When Maleficent heard that Stefan cut her wings off so he could become King, she was furious.
Oh. OK.
Now can you summarize what you wrote in a critical two sentence review?
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.
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." -
