Bewitched Film Review

Out in California’s San Fernando valley, Isabel is trying to reinvent herself. A naive, good natured witch, she is determined to disavow her supernatural powers and lead a normal life. At the same time, across town, Jack Wyatt a tall, charming actor is trying to get his career back on track. He sets his sights on an updated version of the beloved 1960's sitcom Bewitched, with the starring vehicle for himself on the role of the mere-mortal Darrin. Fate steps in when jack accidentally runs into Isabel. He is immediately attracted to her and her nose, which bears an uncanny resemblance to the nose of Elizabeth Montgomery, who played Samantha in the original TV series. He becomes convinced that she could play the witch Samantha in his new series. Isabel is also taken with Jack, seeing him as the quintessential mortal man with whom she can settle down with and lead the normal life she so desires. It turns out they're both right but in way neither of them ever imagined.

This is similar to the book A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness but in a comical way. The witch knows that she cannot succeed in life and feel good about it so she stops doing magic but that doesn't work out well for her because it's part of her being. I think that Darrin’s reaction to finding out that Isabel was a witch shows that witchcraft is feared and not understood so it’s apparent that to him and other humans in this film that witchcraft is not accepted within society because it is not a common occurrence and therefore is not understood, but once the person understands that it can be used for good as well as evil Darrin became more accepting of Isabel’s power and knew that he loved her no matter what. Therefore at the start witchcraft was not accepted but then once it was understood it became more accepted which is reflected in society.
