ABSTRACT
This study seeks to understand how, in a narrative and cinematic fiction film, costumes and its textiles – with their inherent characteristics and particularities – can convey power and magic to the protagonists who assert themselves upon the other characters and the fictional world. By doing so, these characters become focal points, towards whom the entire plot, the narrative, the world building, and the viewer’s attention are drawn. The study pursues the duels between Evil and Good as a main drive of the fiction, shown by the usage of regal and magical powers, in a combined and carefully planned action in every stage of the plot, with costumes having a lead role on the drama and its telling.
