Sleepy hollow

This movie is about the murder in sleepy hollow of headless horseman who kill the people in the village. Ichabod Crane (Johnny Depp) is the famous detective he live in New York city. New York City detective, who feels that the judicial system is behind the times as far as imprisonment and torture are concerned. He argues that cases should be solved with fact and reason; cause and consequence. This doesn’t sit well with city officials, who send him to the town of Sleepy Hollow to solve the case of the three murders
When he come arrive there are 4 people were killed such as Peter Van Karage ,Dark Van Karage ,Jonathan Masbath and widow Winship . The point is everybody was cut their head and head was taken by headless horseman and he will take the head to the tree of the dead. Ichabod Crane is not believe about the ghost ,he think every thing can explain by scientist and operate the dead body until he see the headless horseman by himself so he start to find the cause of the murder. Then he knows that the headless horseman is not kill random but he choose the victim and he was controlled by someone. Next day he come to the forest and go to the tree of the dead that the grave of the headless horseman ,he dig it but the horseman’s skull has gone so, Ichabod thinks there must be someone stolen it.. Those dead people are related with the Van Tassel family because the Van Karage and the Van Tassel are cousin. Lady Van Tassel is the person who control the headless horseman to kill them because she want the heritage of Van Tassel family . Lady Van Tassel is the step mother of Katrina Van Tassel
(Christina Ricci)and she start from being a nurse to take care Katrina’s mother and then when Katrina’s mother died she become lady of the house. She comes from Archer family ,very poor and live in the land 1 acre but her family was dislodged by Van Tassel family and move to live in the forest so she want to take revenge. If everybody in the Van Karage and the Van Tassel died the heritage will belong to her. The last victim for her is Katrina Van Tassel(Ichabod’s lover) so, she command the headless horseman to kill her but Ichabod bring the headless horseman’s skull to exchange with Katrina’s head and the horse stop to kill and bring Lady Van Tassel come to the tree of the dead to go to the hell with him.

In my opinion this movie is made from the imagine, It’s hard to believe that we can use the magic in the real world because in the movie Lady Van Tassel can control the houseman by use an occultism because in the past they against the witch and if they know who can use the white or black magic will be punish or were kill. You can see from Katrina Van Tassel(Ichabod’s lover) she use white magic to protect him from the horseman but the Lady Van Tassel use the black magic to kill the people. The movie is very fun and can watch in every ages.

This movie is based on the legend of the sleepy hollow but it dose not involve with the headless horseman in New York. It’s just the set up story .In 1822 when California was governed from Mexico, and 1850, when it became part of the United States. In 1838, Domingo applied to General Mariano Vallejo, the military governor of the Northern California frontier, for permission to occupy land in Marin County. This was the land grant known as Canada de Herrera, which consisted of 6,659 acres covering what is now Sleepy Hollow, Fairfax and segments of San Anselmo. It was productive land, yielding both rich harvests of timber, which were shipped to San Francisco by schooner from Ross Landing near the present site of the College of Marin, and fine grass to feed Sais's large herds of cattle. Timber was difficult to steal, but cattle were not, which brings us to our tale.
