I watched the movie Skeleton Key, and I'm really wanting to know where to find that charm that Caroline does to help the old man, that which was taught by Mama in the laundry room ... in which she wears a white cross candle, a black feather ostrich (I think it's ostrich, really?) and has a spoken charm written on paper ... I really appreciate those who know at least where to find this spell, he seems to be real, not fictitious, thank you!
White cross candles are used. Ostrich feathers would not be used, they aren't convenient here. And paper charms are used, usually in the form of name papers, bible verses, etc.
I never seen skeleton key. Odds are, no. There is no such charm.
in fact, she wears a black and big feather to shake his body, apart,the candle is lit inside a bowl full of water and crushed herbs, and she walks in circle around the man ,speaking the spell written on paper ...her intention is to undo the hex curse that affects the man;
I've seen the Skeleton Key. I would say that is it very loosely based off of the practice. I watched it from a point of view that the whole film, while being based on a practice, was made for entertainment purposes. It isn't a documentary film.

Movies are for entertainment purposes. They can be informative to a degree. Long ago prior to the television they use to show news footage just before a movie played in a theater. The big screen was also use to promote propaganda by many governments such as the Nazi's and the Allied Nations. They may not have been the same propaganda in each place or about the same topic, but the use of film was inherently the same. There are two sides to everything. Though some movies may have a few tidbits of truth sprinkled in does not mean they are completely accurate. I suggest researching more into your topic of interest by reading books and articles in a vast array of places. Below are some links to ones I recommend;
I wouldnt rely on a movie for magical advice, hollywood already give voodoo a really bad name and I wouldnt recomend following something that came from it
