This Review Reveals Minor Details About the Plot.
Diamonds Are a Girl's BFF
Plot Overview
In the Free Eden store in the Highland Place
Mall in Dallas, Texas, three working witches: Apple (Lili
Reinhart), Cherry (Victoria Pedretti) and Fig (Alexandra Shipp)
need a fourth fruity sorceress to balance their four-season coven.
They interview and accept Sister Salt's roving sample
girl Pumpkin (Lola Tung) from Plano.
They worship Marylin
(Monroe.) There are three tenets to their practice:- Shine: They all contribute to their group glow and do nothing to diminish it. Indeed, they sparkle bright, at least on the surface.
- Vindecav—: If a snake in the woodpile troubles them, they will cast a spell that will return it on her whoever she is. Watch out, troublemaker!
- Emojis: They will text their boyfriends using only emojis. The kind of boys they attract might not be all that literate, anyway.
In these beaux arts surroundings exist many dangers hidden or otherwise: Escalators have a poor safety record, while stilettos, false nails and long hair could easily get caught in one. Fire could break out. A Texas storm could come through the skylight. Traffic pulls up right outside. There's a fountain in a pool with a ledge a girl could bump her head on. For that matter there's a low balcony on an upper level. Drinks can be spiked. STD's can be contracted. Customers have health conditions. Add to that psychos who are looking for a big crowd to target, and we've got all the makings of random incidents that could be taken for hexes come true whether there was anything to them or not. But it would make the amateurish witches feel powerful.
Ideology
Here arise conflicts
à la, (Prov. 30:33)
“Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the
wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath
bringeth forth strife.” The idea in the proverb is that a state of peace
and conciliation can change to one of conflict and war just as
a liquid (milk) can change to solid (butter) through constant
agitation (churning.) Or hit a critical area (nose) and it bleeds.
This first principle is illustrated in the movie when Cherry is
humping a stock boy in the fitting room. She's on top dressed in a
flowing skirt that churns away until a sudden climax when his hard member
inside her emits jism and deflates. The second is when Apple has Pumpkin
slap her face hard producing a tear to add to their witches' brew.
Apple tells the girls she lives in her car. She says, “I was a salesgirl before I was a saleswoman and I've always had a knack for making something out of nothing.” Really coming up in the world, is she? Once when I was destitute and needed shoes I went behind a department store and opened a dumpster to find brand new, orphaned athletic shoes: a right without a left and vice versa. I made myself a whole pair, albeit of mixed style, in my size despite the missing. Homeless have a way of making do. There's a whole line of storefronts we see in this picture, and the stores all have a rear. Author James Patterson relates the following:
He took in the tiny apartment: the stained walls, the plastic window sheeting, the threadbare furniture. He was embarrassed by his bare feet, and by the angry black-and-blue bruise above his right ankle. A gentleman never appeared like this in mixed company. But at the moment, his silk socks were in the bathroom, soaking with his Egyptian cotton shirt. And even under these circumstances, dining with mismatched flatware and tin cups, his table manners were impeccable. (104)
Apple has lived rough for all too long,
suffering various degradations, making do as best she can. When a
pervert in a parked car next to hers ogles her while giving himself
a hand job, Apple pours scalding coffee on his family jewels.
When Apple encounters her half-sister in
the mall, it is not a happy reunion. Seems their dad had two
families, and one Thanksgiving he lavished a veritable feast
on the other one while Apple's got bupkiss. The sisters have a cat
fight right on the spot.
