The Sorcerers Aprentice Film Review



Balthazar Blake is a master sorcerer in modern day Manhattan trying to defend the city from his arch-nemesis, Maxim Horvath. Balthazar can't do it alone so he must find Merlin's chosen one who turns out to be the unlikely David Stutler, a seemingly average guy who demonstrates hidden potential, as his reluctant protégé. The sorcerer gives his unwilling accomplice a crash course in the art and science of magic, and together, these unlikely partners work to stop the force of darkness. It'll take all the courage Dave can muster to survive his training, save the city and get the girl of his dreams as he becomes Merlin's chosen one and the sorcerers apprentice. 

David Stutler's initial reaction to finding out he has been chose to be the sorcerers apprentice shows that witchcraft is not accepted in that society because he didn't want to believe it and he though Balthazar Blake was crazy. This reaction is most likely because witchcraft is seen mostly as evil voodoo magic that is only used by bad people or just myth. David's reluctance to start training after 10 years of knowing he is Merlin's chosen one is an obvious clue to show that magic is not accepted in society as all he wants is to just fit in and if he gets involved in magic he will be an even more out sider than he already is. Magic is there to protect the world and should not be abused by sorcerers.
