Review of The Crucible (1996) by Ethan%20 O — 26 Nov 2016
Hardly an entertaining or so called 'fun' film but truly an intense & gripping film that captured the hysteria of the Witch Hunt era of Salem in Puritan Boston.
It's extraordinary the paranoia of witches & how quickly it traveled throughout the township. The key story focuses on Winona Ryder's character who desires Daniel Day Lewis & with her cunning creates a hysteria that young town woman follow.
Based on a 1950's play that was a terrific social comment of the Macarthy Era. A great warning of false religion & hysteria & how destructive it can truly be.
