I’m watching a movie about a witch. Two guards walk her barefoot through mud to the gallows, yuck! When the hangman is putting the rope around her neck, she helps him by casually pulling her hair back out of the way of the rope. I didn’t believe that part. Why would a witch about to be hung to death, and probably scared and angry, obligingly pull her hair out of the way of the rope and be so nonchalant about it? And why wouldn’t the hangman do it? Unrealistic!
Then, like in other witch movies, she does the curse thing before swinging from the rope, cursing up a storm against God knows how many generations of her enemies. However she goes on and on ad nauseam. Not believable. Why would the hangman let the witch get on the soap box for all that time? I mean, she goes into a long monologue that sounds as fake as a long-winded, lying, two-faced politician.
Yeah, I know it’s just a movie. But, Damn!, make it at least a little realistic. And by all means don’t spend a lot of time filming the witch’s dirty feet as she walks through the sloppy mud. Disgusting!
