Asterix - The Secret of the Magic Potion
What is a Druid? About magic and magicians mentioned in the Bible. Note: This review refers to the English-speaking version, with slightly different character names compared to the original French version. For those unfamiliar with the tiny clear-thinking hero named Astérix and his large menhir-mining friend Obélix, let me explain. In these comics, much-loved worldwide since the s, each story revolves around the small but determined village of Gauls who are the only natives still holding out against the Roman Empire.
The Secret Potion made by their local druid Getafix is the key to their success, and Obélix fell into a cauldron of the stuff during his childhood, while everyone else is reliant on a fresh supply of the soup. In this new film, the difficulty is that the elderly druid is starting to make mistakes and feel his age. Can a worthy replacement be found to entrust with the precious recipe? It will also bring some pleasant nostalgia to older viewers who grew up with their noses stuck in Asterix comics.
There is plenty of picturesque scenery, action, suspense and a plot twist or two. And one could argue that the violence is ridiculous enough for teens to not imitate it. For example, Magnetix for a metal-manipulating druid, Geriatrix for an old man and Unhygienix for a fishmonger. Does it faithfully represent the books? Yes, it does rather well, with a few minor changes seemingly for political correctness and cultural sensitivities.
Wine is even given to a child. There are more than 3 heavy-drinking parties and some red noses suggest inebriation. And, of course, excessive drinking leads to brawling and all manner of insults. As Proverbs rightly cautions:. Frequent melees involve all the townsfolk, even women and children, slapping one another with smelly fish and whatever else they can lay their hands on. There is a serious murder attempt using a nasty blade, followed by a consolation prize of a poke in the eye.
Tantrums and shouting matches are also frequent. And not only does a lot of violence occur: it is cherished. Nudity occurs twice: Julius Caesar discusses political issues while in the bathtub, then stands up allowing full visibility to just below the belly-button; and later Asterix is briefly without clothes rear when released from captivity. One woman has a revealing neckline and leans toward the audience. Gender roles are occasionally debated.
A young girl is forbidden from many activities due to her gender, so she pretends to be a boy by changing her voice, hair and tucking her skirt up as trousers. This is encouraged by the adults, for the purposes of the mission, not with any broader intention. Drug references include a concealed powder that goes into the secret potion, and the secret potion itself being a highly sought-after golden elixir for physical powers.
Also, there is a super-growth potion made and drunk. Another potion enables soldiers to fly like superheroes. Other potions are experimented with, producing multiple explosions and negative side effects. He dances with glee as he burns down a special place, and several times gives a large evil laugh. Eventually, he transforms into a giant lava-monster in a painful process, and roars and fires missiles as if from canons. Other content that may be problematic for some viewers includes shock blasts, a tidal wave, fat jokes, fart noises, a terrified animal caught in a thunderstorm, falling from heights, narrow avoidance of a cute animal getting squashed, meat cleavers, pirates, a joke about meditation, a pitchfork thrown at a baby boar, chickens having their legs pulled—then being shot at while flying, a dog is hung by just his ears—whining, a smelly cowpat, scores of people lying injured after battles, a child is put under huge pressure to complete a task perfectly, and one Gaul is named ClimateSkeptix.
Asterix: Le secret de la potion magique
One of the druid wannabes is seen seated in front of a hillside of peacefully grazing sheep , and he looks exactly like Catholic religious icons of Jesus Christ. Another huge negative is the discussion of magic as though it is light and good except when used by the villain. This will be addressed in the next section. Given that most of the storyline focuses on the quest for a druidic successor, it follows that this film spends much time exploring magic.
The magic is presented as a neutral force that can be used for good or evil. Their potions and tricks are always presented positively and as innocent. Getafix appears to be looking for someone whose magic is real as well as having real character.
