Movies Review: Practical Magic & Byzantium

I loved the true love spell from Amas Veritas,
When I read the Sterek fic.

By then I didn't know it was a recap from a 1998 movie,
Called "Practical Magic".

So I downloaded the movie,
And the real deal was not as good as the fic,
As they completely discarded the memoirs of Sally's dead husband.

While in the fic,
As I loved Derek more,
The idea of Danny giving his consent to Stiles,
So he could fall in love once more,
Gave a tug in my heart.

The plot was okay,
How they portrayed Sally and Gillian as two different ends of a rope,
Yet as tight as blood.

I loved that family is more important than finding someone to love.

I first knew about Byzantium,

Because I was curious about Sam Riley in "Maleficient".

Then I found out he used to collaborate with Saoirse Ronan,

The girl I fell in love with when I saw her in "Lovely Bones".

She carries a light air around her,

And her way of acting in "Hanna" and "The Host",

Gave a chilly atmosphere,

You just couldn't help but be attracted.

In Byzantium,

What I loved was how a mother shows her love to her daughter,

Even in her own peculiar ways.

With Eleanor's incredible mind of maturity,

It almost makes you think she's the mother,

Not the other way around.

As though Clara finds a rather attractive way to found money for both of them,

It still tells me,

She'd give everything in her immortal life,

To keep Eleanor out of harm,

To keep her purity,

So she would not end up like her mother,

So she could live a life where she would never be burdened like her mother.

A mother,

Will always want a perfect life for her child,

Even if she herself has to live a sinful life.

A mother's love never fails to amaze me.
