At the top of the film, you ask everyone present to explain whether they think magic exists within the realm of the movie. Have people explain their answers as to what magic means in that universe and whether it's real or not
At the end of the film, it's time to discuss magic.
If the film was magic-free: How would you have improved the film by adding magic to the universe?
- maybe there are a series of coincidences that can't otherwise be explained
- maybe a wizard shows up and turns the movie into a quest for a sword
If the film had magic: How could you have improved the film by either making the magic ambiguous, or removing it completely?
