Most people, like me, have a sense of awe for magic, knowing it is fake, but you can't see through it. It makes you full of frustration and even doubts about the world. I have studied magic for a while, and later watched a set of magic revealing films. To be honest, after watching it, I feel very deceived. This feeling is more serious than the frustration before, just like you have always thought you were being deceived. It was defeated by a peerless master, and it turned out that Ah was just a small bastard.

In ancient times, the magic world always liked to make itself very mysterious. Sometimes it was packaged as gods and ghosts. There was a reason for it, because this thing was a layer of window paper, and once it was pierced, it would be boring. I once explained to my wife how some magic is changed. She didn't believe it all the time, saying it couldn't be that simple. I also think it shouldn’t be that simple. It has deceived me for decades, and it should be a little more technical. However, the reality is cruel. You only need to guess all the magic according to the simplest logic, and you can often guess it. the truth.

Yesterday I watched a very dazzling movie called "Fatal Magic". It was about two magic masters fighting in London in the 19th century. Because of an accident, two young magicians became enemies and entangled each other for a lifetime. , As long as one person devises a magic trick, the other person will try every means to destroy it. You come and I will each have a victory or defeat. The fighting style is constantly escalating. The beauty plan, the bitter plan, and ultimately get both sides.

The beauty of this movie is not only that it reveals a lot of magic insider stories, but also shows through the story of two masters fighting wits and courage. The twists and turns are very dramatic and the ending is very paradoxical. It also sublimated the industry. The spirit of magic lies in sacrifice. Once you become a magician, you have chosen a very human life path. Your life is full of secrets, and the process of keeping secrets is extremely painful. It may take the end. In a lifetime, even the closest person is lost.

The reality is cruel and helpless, there is no miracle, no magic, all the audience know this, but they are willing to be deceived by magic, even if only for a second. After reading the magic reveal, my wife said that she feels life is boring. I encourage her. When I see other people continue to be deceived, I feel a sense of accomplishment and fun.

    The Schrödinger cat ran out of the alternating current! In the end, science fiction came to the border between the two enemies of each other's magic. The success of the casting and the screenwriter’s very different settings for the character’s personality made this competition even more thrilling, making movies that were not originally a benign carrier of magic (as fictional art, magic and movies have too much homogeneity), with the help of magic three The law of steps and the essence of film montage complete a beautiful trick.

    In fact, I don't like films that are too obsessive and skillful, but Nolan does so meticulously, so humanely, so calmly, and I really admire him. Sacrifice is magic, simplicity is magic, love is magic, the theme is vulgar, but the story is beautiful.
