      magic and beauty

      I watched this movie many years ago. Before watching "The Great Magician" this year, I read the cast list. I expected that the plot might imitate this movie. After watching it, it was almost the same, except for the ending . This film is starring the big star Edward Norton. Speaking of this person, I don't know what to do in recent years, and there has been no new work out. He has seen a lot of movies, and the overall feeling is not bad.

             This movie is also about magicians....

      dark magic

      The magician movie of the same kind as Prestige, although not so brilliant, is still very eye-catching, so I re-watched it.

      Eisenheim's magic is so bizarre that it's almost black magic. His silent followers almost equated him with a wizard. No one but him could explain whether the image on the stage was the incarnation of a ghost. And he borrowed this method to guide public opinion, and used the sheriff's hand to ask the prince "the truth". All falsehoods and realities are in the...

      a big scam

      All movies about magic are a big hoax, and all the magic in it is little performances. From start to finish, we watched the plot develop and thought the heroine died and the story would end. This is often not the case. The protagonist is dead. The movie doesn't take too many shots in this regard, and the atmosphere is no different from the others. The story unfolds and nothing seems to happen. Will a love drama end because the heroine dies midway? We wonder and console ourselves that there may...

      "magician"


            I have never known the principle of soul illusion among magicians. It is indeed difficult to know this kind of secret, haha.
           It mainly tells about the love between the male protagonist and the female protagonist, and a series of plans triggered by this as the main line. I love that necklace, very delicate.
           Speaking of this necklace, I remembered a post I saw yesterday when I was searching for necklaces. The owner was so funny, hahaha, I took a screenshot and...

      There are stupid people too

      1. Xiao Nuo is so handsome, I really like his dreamy tone and accent. I didn't think that he was suitable for this kind of affectionate role when I saw that someone said that he was not suitable for this role.
      2. The heroine is too ordinary, from appearance to acting.
      3. The screenwriter is very powerful and subverts the ending, but after a careful analysis from the beginning, everything can be explained.
      4. The greatness of love, the plan for the elopement should have started...

      Although I like Edward very much, this film is really not good in all his films. . . As for Jessica Biel, it is the biggest failure of the film. So ugly, is she attractive at first sight and causes war between men? Enough to marry into the royal family? It's like I think Mark Ruffalo is ugly too, I don't want to see any more movies with them as protagonists, it's so...

    Evaluation action

    The only thing that is commendable about this film is that it is different from any film you have ever seen. (Comment by Emanuellevy)
    This is an illusion that alternates between dream and reality, representing the two extremes of the new and the old world. ("Hollywood Reporter" review)
    This film is full of "lush" romanticism. (" Chicago Reader "...)
