“I wanna be a wizard! I wanna play around with the magical creatures flying across the street and lastly, I wanna own that briefcase full of fantastic beasts.” A similar desire might erupt in you after watching the recent Fantastic Beasts trailer with the high point ‘now you know where to find them’ in contrast to what the title claims.
When you walk back in the past on the land of New York City in 1926, there seems to be peace and discipline due to the ideal way according to which the society functioned. However, too much of peace is not good, in fact too much of anything is not good. So, the ground underneath the feet of fellow citizens suddenly slips as ‘Magic takes a toll and invades the human race’.
How can you define the hypothetical being? Or rather how can you control the invisible and invincible? If something has escaped you either need to let it go completely or get it back with all your heart and soul bearing the consequences in mind. J.K. Rowling’s fictional creatures have escaped far and wide and the protagonist Newt Scamander played by Eddie Redmayne is on his journey to get them back.
When fiction and the realistic world meet, there seems to be chaos. Well more than chaos, the intersection of the creatures of the two worlds calls for an emerging war for man can’t bear anything unusual invasion in his own lifestyle. On the contrary if magic takes the lead, every turn of the wand, every word spoken by the wizard and every move of the powerful creature can change the face of the entire human race. It can destroy man or transcend him into ecstasy with the blink of an eye.
Directed by David Yates and produced by Rowling, David Heyman, Steve Kloves, and Lionel Wigram, Warner Bros. Pictures’ Fantastic Beasts And Where to Find Them will hit theatres on 18 November, 2016.
