As a male, I can’t picture a girl being celebrated for her period by random classmates. It just comes off as...a trick to be bullied. Feel free to correct me on that.
No it happens. I started mine pretty young and girls were pretty quiet on whether they started theirs or not. Most girls wished they started theirs later.
“They look like the kids with money that have watched Euphoria too many times” That is the most accurate description of alternative Tiktok influencers I’ve ever heard
In the 1st one you had the burn victim, the girl being bullied at school and even the main villain was living with an abusive step father. They had struggles that made you understand why they acted out. This looks more like that weird kid we are went to school with and let's be real we all know the adults like this too. That think they're a witch, and can't handle any conflict. Plus you telling me not one person stood up for her being bullied for having her period.
I agree with you until the last bit, I've never been bullied over a period but there's been plenty times when no one would dare speak up over something. and they'd go "yeah it sucks that that happened" *later*.
@Eevee * 'So Mr. Johnson I heard a girl in your class today was dealing with menstrual issues and you let the entire class laugh at her and then Chad McThundercock chased her out of the room hooting. Uh, you're fired to prevent a massive bullying lawsuit.'
Agreed. The original Craft girls were these grungy, edgy weirdos - they smoked and wore black leather and generally fit the definition of the school misfits who go off and do their own thing. It made sense that they were dabbling in magic, and it made sense that they ultimately went power-mad with it. But these girls? These girls are generically pretty, perfectly normal high schoolers who seem to suddenly develop a dark side when the plot demands it. They're trying to both appeal to the original's edgy style and promote feel-good 2020 'girl magic' at the same time, and that's 'never the twain shall meet' territory if ever I saw it.
Why is there so much attention on periods? The original craft was just some teenage girls having fun with magic but for some reason this ones like “Blood is spooky! Hear my lips roar!”
Kos 291 Yeah but it could’ve been by feminists, either way a bloody pad would’ve been shoved in our faces to show how we should be threatened by their vagina power
Ugh, they're really pulling a freaking Carrie. I just read this article that came out & it sounds like the movie is really gonna force social commentary. Just..... www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2020/10/the-craft-legacy-remake-sequel-zoe-lister-jones
How kids in the real world react to a period: Hey sorry I don’t want to be rude, but I think you’re bleeding a little. Just wanted to let you know. How movies/feminist see kids reacting to a period: ThAt Iz SuPeR nAsTy! 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
The dudes were always more polite about it to me than the girls, if we're being honest. Girls would just "discretely" laugh about it to their friends across the table.
@@ingloriousMachina I honestly don't get where some woke ppl get the idea that men bully women for their period from. Some guys might poke fun at it in good spirit and there is the whole "she must be on her period" line but generally guys have no issues with stuff like that. Guys are more understanding than the media thinks
What an embarrassing "legacy" this film represents... I was a teen Wiccan, back in the 90s, and was pretty-much the only one I knew. I wasn't flashy about my practice, and I'm still not. I look at those social-media "aesthetic" witches as an embarrassment, even if they're trying to be sincere.
I think another big problem with the fashion in this “film” is that there is nothing unique about it. Say what you will about the trendiness of Witchcraft lately, but stuff like Hocus Pocus, Kiki’s Delivery Service, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Little Witch Acadamia, Soul Eater, Cabin in the Woods, Halloweentown, Scary Godmother, Bayonetta, The Wizard of Oz, Wicked, and yes even the original Craft all had a style of there own making them unique from other witch related media. This just looks, acts, and has a fashion style that will become dated very fast for how product of the times it is.
Ya know, The Craft was a message against these types of girls. The girls who used a religion as some sort of cute, sparkly, mcguffin that in the end resulted in their demise. What made the craft so scary is the fact that you slowly watch each character go mad with power, the more they get into their witchcraft-based religon (which may I remind you is very dangerous irl if you don't know what your doing). This trailer just throws all they spooky, eeire, cool stuff from the original out the window so they can appeal to a shitty teen demographic.
This film was exactly the kind of SJW/Marxist narrative that persists in post-secondary education today: the perpetual persecution of women (girls), and the looming bogey of "toxic masculinity." It's sad that they used the same cover/book as the original film, which had an occult edginess in that film, which this film sorely lacked. The girls might as well have been using one of those off-the-shelf modern "spell-books," based on holding a grudge and cursing your ex...
@@barefootanimist it was even worse than that! They shamed a bisexual guy who was still in the closet, basically raped him to get the half gay away. It was fucking gross
Ever since Lorde and Lana Del Rey did those slow, creepy covers of everybody wants to rule the world and once upon a dream, Hollywood has to take any bubble gum pop song they can get their hands on and make it so emo even hot topic would say it's trying too hard.
It's not even emo, it's just trying to be deep when Lorde completely missed the point of why the original sounds the way it does. Plus Fall Out Boy and Panic! At the Disco are actual emo bands.
@@lainiwakura1776 I always found the original to have this melancholy feels it it which I love and it's probably my favorite song for me and I agree she missed to point of it most likely the studio needed a song about corruption and greed for the Hunger games trailer and the song didn't match the tone of the movie so they decided to change it rather than look for another option; regardless I wish they would just stop with the whole retooling original songs to make it sound "deep" or edgier than they actually are, either come up with something original or put at least some effort into it.
I'm so confused with this movie, I can't tell if its a reboot or a sequel to the original, I...I just don't know. I know one thing for sure, it will never surpass the original.
"We are the weirdos, mister" Me:......... so I'm gonna guess you're gonna get pregnant within a month and you have a fleece cookie monster pajama pants lol
@@mar6488 yeah, they are making a Buffy reboot and it's focus will be on diversity and having a woman as show runner. You know, rather than focusing on deep characters, punchy dialogue, a compelling story and the best people for the job.
The particle effects in this movie reminds me of the Bratz movies so much so that I actually thought this was some sort of brats live action film I didn’t know about at first when watching the trailer not knowing this was a remake Edit: after watching the trailer it’s basically just bratz
The remake is just strange. On the one hand if it truly is a sequel and this gen's craft... No attempt to try to replace. Just try to be respectful except play with the magic more... Sure? Why not? One of the main actresses kept her magic. I can see there being families who keep the magic so long as they keep to the old rules and their kids fuck up. But I really... Do fear sequel-itis. Particularly such an old sequel that is trying for Stranger things vibes and ignoring that magic is meant to be used responsibly. Bonus add on: The feminism is so strange an angle in here. Original was light girl power.
If you look when she gets up to go to the bathroom for her period you can see on her pants that it went up her thigh and that there is like a small puddle of blood in her seat and it's just sitting there so how did it end up falling off the seat? But I bet this remake is going to do what most movies now do and it won't be anywhere near as good as the original. From the trailer it seems rushed the friendship, it's been a while since I've seen the original but their like "come over, get in our tub, you're a fourth member in a group"
*"CRINGE The Movie"* *"Jessica Yaniv A Documentary"* *"PERIOD The Movie"* *"The Craft A Disney Movie"* Hollywood ruins all the classics. Stamp a remake because they cant even make a new Original anymore. 😑
• There's no way that even a single drop of blood could fall without the entire seat of her pants being completely saturated. 🙄 • They look younger than the ones in the original, like high-school freshmen at most, if not middle-school. Shouldn't the sexuality in this evoke complaints à la _Cuties_ ? 🤨 • Who's this movie (or any remake) for? Fans of the original hate it and young people don't have any nostalgic connection to it. 🤦
"This is the girl on tumblr and sees a movie like this and gets that line tated on her side" that's what this movie is the epitome of. I hate it, I'm pissed and I'm sad. Why did they do this
The girls look like the "aesthetic" witches on social-media in 2020. The fairy-LARPers, the glitter-kitsch witches, and so-forth. "We are the weirdoes, mister..." Those pagans who got their start in the 80s and 90s, who loved the original "The Craft," have all probably cringed at that line... These little princesses are so mainstream, it's not even a joke to hear that phrase from them.
But that's the thing though, things that were considered weird or etc. back then are now mainstream. Almost every subculture even if it's not popular if people do it, you are not really considered weird or unique anymore. Kinda like how being a nerd or liking anime or comics is now widely acceptable. To be honest if they wanted to be the "weird kids" they could have dressed ugly or frumpy or really shocking...maybe. It depends.
Update: As of a few weeks ago, I saw this film via VOD. It's a f***in' train-wreck! What a crappy storyline! There were so many sub-plots that could have been fleshed-out (the closet bi guys, for example), and they could definitely have built-up the "secret warlock" schtick, rather than wedge it awkwardly into the plot. I mean, if the girls were meant to represent different elements, they could have been shown USING their elemental powers, and that crescent-moon-circle symbol necklace? It feels like there should have been a film before this one, explaining the where the necklace came from, though I can't help but wonder if it would seem like a cliché (mysterious jewelry left to an adopted child by their mother), that we saw in "Elvira: Mistress of the Dark." There was so much lacking in this plot that could have been used to better effect: perhaps adoptive-mother has a history of dysfunctional relationships, and she adopted a child, because she hoped it would give her some motivation to break the cycle? Perhaps there could have been some history established for the warlock, besides a throwaway remark about the snake-symbol plaque? I daresay, you could probably have put the story for this film in the hands of seventh-graders, and got a more-cohesive and better-written script.
I feel like this would be something on tumblr and tik tok. The period scene would not happen like that in real life. And doing spells in the lunchroom. The movie is trying to hard to be The Craft movie. When I first saw the trailer was not feeling it. Seeing it again, still not feeling it. But hey it's for this generation of preteens and teens I guess. 🤷🏾♀️ An I agree with everyone in the comments who said this movie screams "I'm not like other girls."
Funny enough, light as a feather stiff as a board is explained by simple science. The weight of a person is distributed to each finger and they (the fingers) are stronger than we give credit to, and even then, where their fingers are wouldn't be able to have the whole body up like a straight line. It's sad that the original looked badass than the remake, that says a lot about how the remake is going to be.
Oh god I didn't know they did this. The Craft was also a very important movie to me when I was a teen so I'm with you. Now I'm even more worried about the bullshit I've heard about The Crow being remade too. Like no. Leave these 90s dark gothic movies alone. Imagine if they do a remake of Ginger Snaps and because subtlety is out the window these years, it'll be this piece of shit movie about periods and the me too movement.
In the first movie you get a sense of unity with the characters. In the beginning it really seems like Sarah has found the answer to her loneliness and she no longer has to hide her powers and that's what makes it so sad later on in the film when her friends turn against her. And you're really rooting for the character when she taps into her natural abilities and is able to stand up for herself. These bitches I could care less LOL
I read in an Instagram post about a year ago that one of the characters was going to be changed to a Latina transgender woman. But it looks like they abandoned that plan.
Are they now getting people the same age as the characters to write the story as well? Who is writing this stuff? Are they outsourcing it to toddlers? What’s going on here?
Because modern films and reboots are made to make money, not entertain. The same tired storyline, used over and over, the same cliché characters, and so-on; The mistake people make is in criticising the filmmakers, when it's the _audience_ that pays to see those hackneyed, garbage films, who are thus entirely responsible for the poor quality of subsequent films. Too many people wanna see the latest Marvel schlock, so why would studios invest money in something new and different, if they can cash-in on doing the same-old thing? The way to change the trend is to start ignoring the big franchises, start seeing the lesser-known and indie flicks. Keep an eye out for the film-festivals where hidden gems might be found, instead of lining-up to see the new comic-book hero or latest unnecessary Star-Wars sequel.
@@alpyki2588 Blumhouse also worked on Whiplash, which is one of my favorite movies of all time. If they continue with more great films like that instead of cheap horror crap, they wouldn’t be a laughingstock of a studio.
I was actually watching The Craft with my boyfriend about a week before this trailer came out and I remember him critiquing it for being *super* '90s but to me, as a kid of the '90s, that just adds to the movie's charm because the '90s was the decade of the witch. We had The Craft, we had Sabrina the Teenage Witch, we had Practical Magic, we had Hocus Pocus, we had The Blair Witch Project. Something about setting The Craft any time other than the '90s kinda ruins it for me.
And yet another remake ruins the memory of the original. Can they not think of anything original in Hollywood? Does a brand new idea never cross their path? Obviously not.
This is stating "I'm not like other girls" with smug pride. In the original movie (which I liked. It wasn't perfect by any means, but I still liked it) the girls didn't have to say, "I'm NoT lIkE oThEr GiRlS" in order for us to understand that. Of course, the originals are usually written better. I guess my biases against this movie were right lol I mean, they were looking for a "Latinx actor" (as a Latina, that had already triggered me) for the longest time 😂 I hope when it's released somebody can just take all of the scenes that David Duchovny is in and make that into a RU-vid video. That's the only way I'll be able to watch this trash. 😑👌
2:31 - Ah yes, the hyper menstruation that happens only as a teenager when you bleed only on the floor and nowhere else once your period starts. But yeah, this movie about to be a shallow ass mess.
I watched just a few videos from you, I just had to subscribe. You're reactions are like mine, and its hilarious because some of the absurdity presented to us in movies, tv shows, and trailers, are just ridiculous to those of us that have common sense and recognize poor story telling. I can't wait to see what you have next.
Creativity is dead in Hollywood. It's been dead for years. For the love of god please create new IP's so that your shitty movies can stop damaging the reputation of all that is fun and entertaining.
I would watch the craft all the time, and this trailer really makes me wanna vomit. J, you really got the characters down with your description because the new girls are as basic and "querky" as ever. As I am still in high school I can attest to the fact that these same kinds of girls wander the halls with their , "I'm not like other girls" attitude, and it irks me to know some of those dipshits will idolize this movie over the original.
Why do they have the 3 moon symbol like embedded in their heads. Their powers came from Manon not the Maiden Crone Mother that the moons represent. I feel like they looked up 'witchy' on instagram and took the most basic shit and said "Yea that's good enough."
They're definitely gonna spit on the og since the director is not a fan of Nancy and the girls praying to Manon but especially Nancy in a sexual matter. Ugh
The thing about the clothes is that because that 90' style is trending, they don't even bother to think that maybe back then it wasn't the most fashionable style (the protagonists), but, as you say, it adapted and was detailed to fit their characters. In this new one seems like they just browsed instagram aesthetics that everyone like and put them in here. They don't look normal not because they're misfits, but because they dress up like instagram models.
The Craft, the original, was done dirty by being Rated R rather than PG-13, since that definitely ruined the initial box office. Why was it R? Because of Witchcraft; not gore, or vulgarity, or nudity, but because witchcraft. Meaning that horror fans who had R expectations were disappointed, and the teenaged audience that'd appreciate it wasn't allowed in.
With them waving sparkles like that everywhere, I thoroughly expect one of them to just blurt out "Bippity Boppity Boop" at least once during the film.
“We are the weirdos, mister.” is in the same vein of Riverdale’s “in case you haven’t noticed, I’m weird. I’m a weirdo. I don’t fit in, and I don’t want to fit in.”
The Craft and The Crow are two films from the 90's that hold a special place in my heart. They don't deserve to be as good as they are, and there are many movies from the 90's that are far better, but those two movies are just classics in every way. I can watch both of them without every growing tired of them.
