On Friday, I watched a movie, 'The Spiderwick Chronicles'. Basically, I couldn't even guess correctly what the plot was. All that was a hint to me was the word, 'spider' and that didn't sound really good. So, before I watched the movie, I searched the internet. Easiest way and they only tell us the beginning anyway.
The story is that nine-year-old identical twins Jared and Simon and their thirteen-year-old sister Mallory move into the decrepit Spiderwick Estate with their mother, Helen. Mallory and Simon, understanding their mother, say nothing and act just normally. However, Jared, who missed his life in NYC, acts very grumpy and after supper, when he hears scuffling sounds in the wall, pokes holes in to it with a broomstick. Mallory comforts her mother, who is very stressed at the time, and says that she and her brothers will take care of it. Then, when Mallory herself pokes the wall once, a section of a wall falls down and reveals a dumbwaiter. Mallory and Simon show no interest but Jared cleans up the inside and finds a key. He went up (with the key) and found a secret room. There, he found a chest that fitted the key. After he opened it, he found a book. There was a note on the cover. It said,
'warning!' Jared ignored it and read it in his room. It was a guide of the world of fairies, goblins, and other creatures that were invisible to human's eyes or disguised. There, he realizes that the scuffling sound belonged to the house elf, a brownie, which loves honey, and the name is Thimbletack. As the truth is revealed, Jared, Simon, and Mallory make many adventures with the help of other people and creatures, and makes a happy ending. (the ending is sort of like a hard math problem that turns out to be nothing;;)
This movie was filled with adventures, the life of an ordinary family, and most of all, teamwork. Although Mallory and Simon didn't believe it first, after they saw it, they helped and all of them worked together to succeed. I recommend you this movie a lot.
