Hanzel and
Gretel: Witch Hunters
Watching
this lovely gory let’s blow things up and set them on fire work led me to some interesting
thoughts about crones. Okay why are the old women always crones or witches? Why
do they have such an image problem? Is there nothing between crone and the evil
witch? If the witch captures the children with the candy house and then tries
to eat them, how does one overcome this bad press? The inverse must be true for
the Granny superheroine: she must solve the mysteries of who takes children,
protect them, and help them get away.
It boggles
the mind: crone or witch, no middle ground. We have given some time to the
weapons, although at this date, the matter is not settle and everything is still
under consideration. Gretel was wearing some cool leather pants in the basic
black that I think Granny might like for her very own. So that will settle part
of the costume issue, black leather pants.
What about
transportation? No broomsticks allowed. Hmmmmmmm, flying monkeys are out, a
hat, a cool car? What about a flying carpet, no time traveling just your basic
back and forth. A pair of magic boots, very tasteful, of course, to go with the
leather pants.
Okay, going
back to the drawing board to bring more ideas to the surface. I could use a
little help.
Did my post not take? Awesome recliner with different speeds. Pockets on the sides for "tools." and the rescued children can sit on the foot-rest while Granny sits Indian style in the chair, or the chair is extra wide and they scrunch in next to her.
ReplyDeleteThis recliner has real possibilities. Thank you for this wonderful image. A traveling recliner with tool pockets. Granny Indian style in her leather pants very cool. Maybe red high top chucks with sequins.
