"The Wicker Man"

[[email protected]]

There is a great film, made in 1973 and still available, called "The Wicker Man." All my witch friends love it, it is a guilty pleasure because it shows a modern-day pagan village in Scotland, and the pagans don't get burnt in the end! It is quite good--Christopher Lee plays "Lord Summerisle" the leader of the community. Although a lesser known film, I once read an interview where he declared it was his favorite role of all time. He certainly does a great job. A very satisfying film indeed, for those who are tired of this sadly Xianized world and long for a different environment. You will watch it over and over, it is very good. It also has great pagan songs in it. I watch this whenever I am feeling sick of the world as we know it...cheers me up every time. The ending is very uncommon, I'll bet you will cheer.

Oh,yes, do NOT watch the re-make with Nicholas Cage! No, this is the one--made in 1973 starring Christopher Lee and Brit Ekland. World of difference...I heard they even slanted the re-make so that the pagans were made to look bad! Hollywood, BAH!

Thank you Moonshadow; this movie cheered me up emensely

I have watched it four times since your post appeared. I can't wait to watch the updated version. However; I am glad that I watched the original first. I now have something to compare. I am grateful for the cheer up movie.

Gratefully yours,Demeneca.

This movie is a good example of the extremes of religion, as well as a detailed source of how Wicca really is..and not all it portrays itself to be nowadays. The villagers very much act like brainwashed Xians in the days of the inquisition, but they just aren't as aggressive with the bible thumping attitude.

Demeneca, please know that you WILL be disappointed with the re-make. You won't feel the same way. And yes, this film very much does take extremes, as someone has pointed out--it is really a guilty pleasure for a pagan. If the Christians had not killed millions of our people, maybe I could shed a tear for the victim in the film--but like you, I find the film to be refreshing.
