WHAT IS THE MOVIE SEVENTH SON ABOUT FULL
As her followers gather power, the dreaded witch reveals her infernal intentions to the noble knight who once imprisoned her, and who now has until the next full moon to train Tom Ward (Ben Barnes), the seventh son of a seventh son, to defend humanity against a threat whose evil knows no bounds. Now Mother Malkin has escaped, and she's hungry for revenge. Years ago, brave Master Gregory (Jeff Bridges) succeeded in capturing evil enchantress Mother Malkin (Julianne Moore), and locking her away to rot in prison. In modern times, the curse, it seems, is more aptly described as a blessing.- Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil In addition to being able to say he's the president's godson, Tawil will receive a gold medal and enjoy a full educational scholarship. In 1973, the Independent adds, the presidential adoption tradition was also extended to seventh daughters. So in 1907, in an attempt to stop this practice, the Argentinean president began adopting seventh sons, which the president insisted would stop the curse. As the Independent explains, by the 19th century, fear of this creature was so acute in Argentina that families sometimes murdered their seventh sons to prevent the legend from coming true. In the cultures that believe in the lobison, that creature acts as a sort of Grim Reaper, whose mere presence means that death will soon befall those it comes into contact with. In Guaraní mythology, the lobison is the offspring of Tau, an evil spirit, and Kerana, a mortal woman. The werewolf-like creature shows its true nature on the first Friday after boy’s 13th birthday, the legend says, turning the boy into a demon at midnight during every full moon, doomed to hunt and kill before returning to human form.Īs well as feeding on excrement, unbaptized babies, and the flesh of the recently dead, the lobison was said to be unnaturally strong and able to spread its curse with a bite.
The Independent elaborates on the South American legend: In Argentina, the werewolf is referred to as el lobison in Paraguay it goes by the name Luison, and in Brazil it's called the Lobisomem. Her motivations for doing so are based on a centuries-old legend that seventh sons will transform into werewolves. “The couple wanted to maintain a custom from Czarist Russia, where the Tsar was said to become godfather to seventh sons, and Argentina’s president accepted.”Ĭhristina Fernández de Kirchner, the president of Argentina, got a new addition to her family last week when she adopted a 13-year-old Jewish boy named Yair Tawil as her godson, the Independent reports. That custom began in 1907, when Enrique Brost and Apolonia Holmann, Volga German emigrés from south-eastern Russia asked then-president José Figueroa Alcorta to become godfather to their seventh son, said the historian.
Update: According to the Guardian, there is a superstition about werewolves and seventh sons: "According to some versions of the myth, the seventh son of the seventh son is particularly prone to fall victim to the curse." But that seventh son myth is not connected to the seventh son adoption tradition:
