Moral Value   :

There are some moral values that we can get from this movie:

                First, we must believe and confident to ourselves. Everyone has good side and worst side in their heart. Only we can claim ourselves into right or wrong. For example, Lena Duchannes will be claimed in to dark caster or light caster in her 16 birthday. She wants to be light caster, but she has been cursing by her great grandma-Genevieve Duchannes-. Likewise Lena, Macon Ravenwood also claim himself into light caster although he had claimed into dark caster.

                Second, we don’t break over our destiny. We must accept what will happen with us in the future although it hurts ourselves. For example, Genevieve Duchannes broke over the forbidden spell that she used to bring her boyfriend to live again. Therefore she became the greatest dark caster in that time.

                Third, we must believe every problem can be solved. We just have to work hard, and trust that we can do it. For example, Ethan believes that he and Lena can solve Lena’s problem together without break their relationship.

My Opinion about This Movie         :

                I recommend all of you to watch this movie. It’s a great movie. The story is very interesting as movie about vampires, aliens or something like that. It tells about struggle of vanish to the curse and to save someone that we love. Don’t forget to read the novel of it; it is very wonderful as the movie. Therefore, keep watching and enjoy yourself.
