Can someone please do a theory video on Nanny McPhee! Was she a witch? Was she a bad child who was cursed?!

[@WouterPlanet]

she was a witch just like in the book. Sent by the passed away mother (hence the bow at the end)

What a charming woman

[@nizahe2731]

Charming? Fair. She is also a genius tho. She is controling her body movement, facial expression, language - all at the same time and perfectly.

[@Matt_Mosley1983]

No. Rule number one: Don't fuck with the screenplay. Film it then edit. Don't decide not to shoot something if you aren't the writer.
