The same year he released "The Illusionist," another movie magicians appeared in the film industry under the tutelage of the great Christopher Nolan. And it is after its major foray into the field of comics with Batman when Nolan proposes this new work to the world disappear again surrendered to his charms, overshadowing any movie that tries to make the weight. Is not new to film formats and similar issues come to light on similar dates - only to remember "Armageddon" and "Deep Impact" in 1998 launched the subject of meteorites to the mat - and when this occurs only turns out to be the winner. Unfortunately for Neil Burger, the film succumbed to the power of "The Prestige", but not for this, "The Illusionist" ceases to be a film worthy of appreciation.
There are some things that are important in the development of a work. A good beginning, a powerful development leave the viewer intrigued and alerts the outcome, and an end that impacts so as to leave a sweet taste when reading the credits of the tape expires. "The Illusionist" has these three characteristics, with some seasonings that make it sweeter or more bitter for a few passages, but in a balance sheet is possible to obtain production accounts happy. While the plot development does not give a cultured look to give away wisdom to the viewer, the film is well aware that their role is to entertain and that is why your line is kept up throughout their development, providing a voltage that is applauded by the constant that appears.
The great Edward Norton portrays Eisenheim, an accomplished magician impresses greatly with his actions, causing illusions in the audience at a level to become idolized. However, the great grace of the film is that the illusion goes beyond fiction and tightens with the audience interaction loop so that it is a participant in the character's magic acts, causing a strange relationship to wonder hearing. With a final powerful and intelligent, "The Illusionist "is positioned as a work capable of arousing the senses of the most moribund, triggering feelings and calling to be fun to sit and enjoy an entertaining story that may well serve as a distraction.
The movie has a picture you wonder, or with outstanding performances - but in any case include the roles of Norton and Giamatti - nor a harmonious music. It may be that highlights its concern from the art scene as to turn the locker room. However, "The Illusionist "will be remembered for being a work not stressed at all in theaters worldwide, despite having a dynamic script is well able to entertain the viewer, moving and shaking more neurons than those typical films "stupid" Americans developed exclusively for entertaining .
Rating: 6 / 7
