Seeing is false

Magic, we've all seen it.
When I was a child, I seemed to have worshipped people who could do magic.
What is the difference between magic and tricks,
probably only in the skills of the reformers.
The high-end ones are called magicians, and the inferior ones are called tricksters.
The reason why people regard the latter as very low
is because there is a "no" in people's hearts.
Do not believe what you see.

It is often said that seeing is believing,
but in fact, how many phenomena we see are real?
Entrepreneurs with luxury villas and hundreds of millions of properties may suffer from diseases;
honest and honest, model husbands known as new good men may have several lovers;
everyone has little secrets that cannot be shared with outsiders
. Make up the elusive and strange colors of life.

The story takes place in the twentieth century in Central Europe,
bound by feudalism.
Many phenomena cannot be explained by scientific principles.
When people can't explain something,
they choose to believe those explainable reasons,
no matter how stupid and ridiculous they seem.

The film itself is average, but after watching it,
it can make people think about its slogan: "Nothing is what it seems." It is still valuable.

I don't know if what I see is true or not,
I just choose to believe those, and I want to believe they are true.
I can't see the essence behind the phenomenon,
I can only see my own belief.

The Illusionist quotes

  • Eisenheim: My intention has only been to entertain, nothing more.

  • Chief Inspector Uhl: [pacing] Eisenheim, I don't want to arrest you. I'm a cynical man, God knows... but if your manifestations are somehow real... then even I'm willing to admit, you're a very special person. And if it's a trick, then it's equally impressive. Either way, you have a gift. So don't make me put you in jail!
