The story of "The Illusionist" is cruel and sad, but full of philosophical poetry. It tells people that The Illusionist does exist in this world, but there is no miracle. The film has very few lines and has a silent film style. It wins with the story and returns to the essence of the animation film. The nostalgic and simple style, the exaggerated but true and vivid body language of the characters, brings a long-lost touch to the audience. It is the field of animation. The uncrowned king.
"The Illusionist" moved the unfinished script of comedy master Jacques Tati to Scotland. The beautiful and magnificent scenery and touching emotions are enough to surpass the cold computer CG.
In the film, The Illusionist and the little girl depend on each other to sing elegy for the glories of the old era. Although the screen is quiet and the characters are small, the family relationship between the father and daughter who supported them through all the hardships in the turbulent era is magnificent.
"The Illusionist" lacks originality, lack of madness and comicality, and replaced it with sadness. No sadness, no bitterness, a touch of sadness, pass my heart, stop and stay for a long time.
The scenery in the movie is simple, magnificent and beautiful, which is especially suitable for Tati's "sceneism". In terms of performance techniques, the director is skilled in color rendering and character actions, whether it is magic performances in theaters and bars, or the beauty of the mountains in the drizzle, all exuding charming charm. The film has a sense of substitution that is not lost to a live-action movie. The loneliness and helplessness in the fate of "The Illusionist" are all melted into the beautiful music. (New)
