Blind Mag, the MAGnificent voice of the future
Played by Sarah Brightman
Did you know…Blind Mag’s full name is Magdalene Defoe?
Age: 41
Motivation: Bonding with Shilo, Freedom, Making peace with her past and fate
Type of character: Dynamic
Mag is just another innocent, a victim of GeneCo. Poor Mag, she just wanted to improve her life and ended up with a death sentence! She is a mother figure in the movie, in fact, the only present mother figure there is. This is very clear in the scene at the Italian Renaissance, when she scolds Luigi for stabbing the "Gopher", even when Amber argues with her and, more evidently, in the "Chase the Morning" scene with Shilo. She is caring, sweet, very talented, and -I'd dare say- the most ethical character in the whole movie.
Before I actually read anything about Repo!, I thought that Blind Mag was a seer, haha! But actually, I wasn't thaaaaat wrong - in "Chase the Morning" Mag says, "it's too late for me", as a sort of foreshadowing.
Opinion: If Sarah Brightman was the second choice for this role one really wonders who the first choice was since Sarah definitely nailed this part! Perhaps, they had a different storyline for Mag and, upon casting Sarah, changed it.
Best Songs: Chase the Morning, Chromaggia (both nominated for the Oscars!!)
