Helena Bonham Carter


I don't understand how she was the witch in the beginning of the movie, little Jenny at Spectre, older Jenny in the middle and then a woman at the end at the funeral...how was that possible? Was that supposed to show that Ed made up the whole witch scene? Or what? And what effect did she have on his life?

What's not to get? It makes perfect sense in the non logical way that he tells it. Might as well ask "how can a fish look like a woman?" Anyway it ends how it begins so there is the old house to set up another tale, he just made it about his boyhood whilst mixing Jenny's house into it so you can make up your mind on it really. These tales really don't matter when they'd take place since they're only to be interesting by telling to different people.
