Upside Down Magic


Upside Down Magic 
 is inspired by the a book series which the same name by Sarah Mlynowski, Lauren Myracle and Emily Jenkins. The movie strays away from the book multiple times but the message remains the same.
        Upside Down Magic tells the story of a very confident 13 year old girl Nory (Izabel Rose) and her best friend Reina (Siena Agudong). Nory and Reina both had magical powers and they recently got admission into Sage Academy a school for magicians.  Nory can transform into animals while Reina can conjure flames. Reina is not as confident as her friend  whennit comes to magic but Nory would always cheer her on and encourage her.
          When the BFFs get to Sage Academy they were seperated and found their category of magic among the five schools. Raina got into her category with honours while Nory was sent to a category called UDM (Upside Down Magic) because she can not hold a particular form of animal for 6 seconds but loses her focus and transforms into three of four animals at once. The headmistress told the UDM's that they can not become anything great in life. She also said they allowed them stay because they will cause chaos in the real world lastly, they were warned not to perform any magic so that their powers will die. Nory was determined to prove to the management of Sage Academy that every magic is special and the UDMs can be great magicians. Meanwhile Reina without the support of Nory felt that she was not doing good in class (eventhough she was the second best) because of pressure from her classmates and professor. Dark magic seems to be the only support or hope for her  and she became possesed by it and almost destroyed the entire school.
           
The lesson in this movie is that it is wrong to look down on others just because they don't so things your way.  The UDM's were rejected because their magical powers had issues and were unlike normal magical powers but at the end we saw the  usefulness of it. And Reina was good but she lacked confidence in herself. This movie  teaches the audience especially teens and kids to always be confident in themselves no matter what. Self confidence really matters in life and without it even if you are the best in your field or class, you will feel like you're the worst.  We are all unique in our own ways and others may not see our uniqueness but its there.  Don't let anyone stop you from being the best version of yourself.  We are stars and we should  not let anyone look down on us.  That is all for now guys have a great weekend.
