The tale begins with Maleficent a young fairy; she becomes friends with Stefan, a farm boy, when he sneaks into her forest. Maleficent and the farm boy grow close and continue to see each other. Maleficent and Stefan end up dating for a while. 

During the teenage years, Stefan stops visiting Maleficent and ends up breaking her heart. Speaking as a young teenager that is very typical, it happens all the time. Many lonely years later, Stefan hears the dying king promising his kingdom to anyone who can kill Maleficent. The king believes that Maleficent is a horrible creature and she shouldn’t stay in the forest.

Stefan decides to meet Maleficent on a hilltop; he ends up giving her a sleeping potion. His sick mind decides to murder her once when she falls asleep. He attempted this so the king would think Maleficent was dead.

After a surprising event, she ends up turning into an evil fairy, and she gains hatred and sorrow. She ends up making the dark trees twist and bend into a barricade so no one can go through it. Later on in the movie, Stefan has a little girl named Aurora, Maleficent ends up cursing Aurora because of her hatred toward Stefan.

The actor who plays the role of Maleficent is Angelina Jolie. Stefan is played by Sharlto Copley. This week’s recommendation is Maleficent. This movie creates suspense, fear, hate, happiness, and love.
