The Crucible Movie Review
The Crucible is a movie based on the true story about the witch trials that were held in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692. The movie is historically correct is the aspect that the trials started off from a group of girls trying to stay out of trouble by accusing people in the village that they casted their spirit onto them to make the young ladies act like they were being harmed by the so called bewitched. The movie is very good and properly explains how the girls started the whole thing.

So when they were confronted on such accusations they lied and started to spread lies of witchcraft to stay out of trouble. As the movie continuities the girls have named many people as witches. Since the incident took place in the 1600's those accused of witchery were often hung within the next few weeks, and since there was no proof of being a witch the courts would believe the young girls no questions asked since they didn't young girls such as themselves were capable of lying to such an extent.
