Since I love to eat (literally and figuratively) what my eyes see and I have watched a lot of screenings in my life, I would like to tell you about them. In order to not differ from the main topic of my web page, these opinions are going to appear sporadically. We start!
At first glance, “Fantastic animals and how to find them”, directed by David Yates, go.
When the last part of Harry Potter’s adventures was screened, there was a lot of speculation concerning the continuation of the adventures of a young wizard. After five years we return to the magical world created by J.K. Rowling, although you will not meet Harry with your friends here…
The film takes place in 1926, when Newt Scamander enters the New York platform. There are wizards living in this place, and just next to them they are unaware of anything mugole. Newt holds a mysterious suitcase that hides certain creatures considered dangerous by the authorities, although the main character sees them as unique and at all costs tries to protect them and take care of their good name. An unforeseen combination of events (the meeting of immobility and the escape of several creatures) forces Newt to take radical steps that can have unforeseen consequences. Things are getting even more complicated and new because in the city there are murders committed by a powerful force spreading fear among the inhabitants. What is this force and can it be overcome? The young protagonist struggles with the unknown, and his journey turns into a great, dangerous adventure.

The main character of Newt Scamander, played by Eddie Redmayne, has all the features that will arouse your affection. He is an innocent, good and head-tohead cloudy boy who is ready to devote his life to animals in danger of extinction. The protagonist decided to visit New York for one seemingly trivial reason: to search for materials for his book, but it will not be an ordinary book… Thanks to its carelessness, the boy quickly manages to get into trouble, and the finale of this adventure will be quite extraordinary. The second character, whom I am personally enchanted by, and who will undoubtedly cause you a smile many times, is the uncoordinated mugole Jakub Kowalski (Dan Fogler). An unusual device of fate pulls Jacob into a whirlwind of magic and events are not fully understood by him.
Of course, the film could not lack a beautiful sex – Goldstein’s sisters are their opposites. Tina (Katherine Waterson) is an ambitious, intelligent woman who wants to prove her worth, while Queniee (Alison Sudol) through her subtlety and coquetry effectively stimulates men’s interest. Both women have found themselves in their roles perfectly, so they look great!
I will return with some sentiment to Percival Graves (Collin Farrell) and Credence Barebone – a dark and mysterious boy – in whom Ezra Miller, known for his role as Patrick in the adaptation of Stephen Chbosky’s novel entitled Charlie, played. I had the irresistible impression that each of them was in the right place.

I want to write to you a few more words about the creatures themselves, which for good reason are called “fantastic. They are wonderful and, at the same time, extremely reliable. The magic of this world is almost pouring out of the screen! Each creature is unique in their individuality – some are serious, others can shoot the proverbial seal, and others love the light of day. The animals you can see on the screen are simply beautiful!

To sum up, the film will not lack good humour, action, mystery and a surprising finale. The plot line is on a very good level and on a hard ground. “Fantastic animals and how to find them” is a breathtaking film that takes friendship (not only between people but also between people and animals), dedication, struggle for one’s own beliefs, and tolerance under its microscope. Screening teaches, plays, and touches. The introduced threads concerning the acceptance of “otherness” were presented very solidly. The acting game is conducted at a high level and in such a way that you have the impression that the events you watch really happen. Your curiosity will be gradually fuelled so that you don’t have time for boredom. “Fantastic animals and how to find them” enchant you from the very beginning, and the finale of the screening will make you impatiently count down the days to the next part. The whole areola is closed with phenomenal special effects. The people involved have done a really good job!
It should be stressed, however, that “fantastic animals …”. are only the beginning of a series devoted to the adventures of the charming hero and the magical world in which he befits living, therefore this part is not entirely devoted to the search for peculiar creatures – rather, it draws attention to poly
