the illusionist

yes that movie rules! WHAT A TWIST!

i have. it has a moral that magic cannot be true

I watched it, and you're all right, it's really I verry good film ^^

My husband just rented this movie a few days ago, and we watched it, but really, I wasn't a fan. We tried to watch it twice, and I fell asleep. "The Prestige" on the other hand, was a great, engaging movie that I highly recommend!

The Illusionist is a very enterteining movie. The beginning of the movie sets an awesome foundation for the rest of the film to work with, without making the rest of the movie predictable and pointless. Although the basic story of boy gets girl, boy loses girl may not be original, the way the plot is presented with the excellent magical imagery keeps one interested in Edward Norton's character. My only complaint would be that the movie needs a little editing towards the end as the creators seem to show basically the same scene over and over in an attmept to drive home Norton's character's emotional distress. Unfortunately, this gets a little monotonous for viewers. Still, Norton, Sewell, Giamatti (and suprisingly Biel) provide excellet performances that, along with the beautiful cinematography, make a great movie.

I recommend the Prestige as well. Similar to the Illusionist, its about a very pro magician. If you like one, you will surely like the other. :)
