The movie begins with his birth and the late great Ray Mc Nally being told by a nurse that there were complications during the birth. He lives in a large family (13 children, not all who suffered) in a small terraced house in Dublin's City Center. He suffers from Celerbal Paulsy (I hope that is spelled right) which means to be all three of the above occupations is some feat that should not go unnoticed. The story centers around Poet, artist and author to be Christy Brown. 14 years down the line the film is very dated, but still very enjoyable but more importantly very powerful. Containing occultic practices and showing Christian leaders to be stupid and unreasonable, it damages the cause of Christ, while trying make a statement against zealous hypocrites.I can still remember the fuss that was made when this movie was first released.

With unreasonable conjecture and accusations becoming more and more accepted as truth, Judge Hathorne asks that John Proctor and his wife Elizabeth either admit to having worked with the Devil, or face the gallows. Abigail is motivated by anger against a rigid society, but the true object of her scorn is Mrs. Soon, Abigail starts accusing many innocent people of being witches, even though they are not. Parris catches the girls and asks for judges to quench the rise of witchcraft in Salem. Abigail places a hex on Elizabeth Proctor because she wants John Proctor as her lover. Winona Ryder plays Abigail Williams, a young woman who places hexes on women. THE CRUCIBLE, written by Arthur Miller, documents the snowballing affects of the Salem Witch trials. ![]()
