The magician told a love story that is not a fairy tale. Isn't this kind of passage very old-fashioned?
The story started from the performance in the theater. The camera focused on Norton's expressionless face. He was sitting in a chair with his hands on his knees. I didn't see any special place. The police swarmed and the crowd was noisy. After the inspector reported to the crown prince, he began flashbacks. This narrative is exactly the same as the structure of "Perfume".
The carpenter’s son and the duke’s lady admired each other, and were forced to separate due to the disparity in status and status, and the protagonist ran away from home. A few years later, the protagonist, who is already an outstanding magician, meets again the boyhood lover, Sophie, who is about to become the princess. The lovers finally made up their minds to realize their desire to elope. The development of the story began to be interesting here. Sophie was killed by the drunken crown prince. Because of the identity of the murderer, the truth has not been revealed. The sad male protagonist bought a run-down theater and performed the magic of soul-calling every night. Needless to think about it, Sophie's soul appeared on the stage. Note that it is Norton's not handsome face that is actually to be seen here. He interprets the grief of losing his lover quite vividly. He is indeed an actor suitable for acting inwardly. It’s interesting to mention that in the section where he was in the police station, the scene where people gathered outside the police station to demand his release was really so wow in Hong Kong movies, such as the young and Dangerous boy? Xixi, far away. The appearance of the soul made the people aim at the crown prince, and the magician disappeared into the air in the last performance. The inspector with a strong sense of justice quickly found evidence against the crown prince. Then, the crown prince who tried to usurp the throne ended in suicide. Well, it's still very old-fashioned indeed.
Finally, when the inspector took the orange tree magic manual from a child, he suddenly realized that the magician had not disappeared, and another moment of realization, it turned out that all this is another version of Juliet’s death, carefully planned by the actor. This show. However, the two protagonists are not so sad, and they bid farewell to the past and live a happy life.
The more I talk about it, the more boring it becomes. Maybe this play is like watching a show, maybe it's a story, it can't stand scrutiny. There is only magic, no magic, this is our time.
