value without purpose

In addition to being a tool for the protagonist's revenge, the magic in the film itself has meaning and value. Magic is to give people wonderful fantasy and exciting beauty, and demystifying magic is to destroy this beauty. So the puzzle solver in the film ended up in a prison arrangement. Magic is like a movie, it doesn't care what kind of results it can bring, what matters is its existence itself, the existence itself of beauty. People sometimes pay too much attention to the results that a thing can achieve, and this utilitarian pursuit makes us lose the opportunity to appreciate the thing itself. Maybe we should be like the audience at the magic show in the film, go crazy once, forget yourself once, put aside the purpose, just to indulge itself.

Using magic to rob the rich and help the poor is a great idea, and a few magic shows are also very refreshing. From the perspective of commercial genre production, this movie is very mature. The biggest problem is the patterned routines of the genre. Fettered, I don't have my own unique personality. Even the magic crime scenes that can be called visual spectacles have been destroyed by photography and editing, but I still like this kind of film that is ruined by the executive ability of the main creator. ★★★☆

Now You See Me 1 is actually a very successful commercial movie. Except that the plot is slightly procrastinated and not enough, the unique characters and beautiful magic tricks are quite good.

Cowan: The level of incompetence displayed on the case, that's a magic trick in and of itself. Abracadabra, I'm takin' over...
