Hello peoples. once again i come to update my blog. this time i'm going to share with you all about The Illusionist. The illusionist was directed by Neil Burger. He is also the directer of interview with the assassins, the lucky ones and the dark fields. the rating for this film is not bad as well. and i like it a lot personally. is one of the few romance movie that i will like to keep as collections.
The story is about this young man, Eisenheim, that have meet a magician once when he was young. the magician have perform a few tricks for him. and that make him becomes obsessed with all the magic tricks. he fall in love with this young woman called Sophie. they both fall in love. but then Sophie comes from a wealthy family and they won't allow her being together with Eisenheim. although Eisenheim and Sophie plan to runaway but they have failed. so they were force to separated from each others. after this no one have ever heard of Eisenheim. but years later they have meet again at one of Eisenheim magic show. but then Sophie already have a fiance, Crown Prince Leopold, which have a historical record of abusing woman.
Although they know they shouldn't have meet again but they just can't fight the feeling inside their heart. in the end Crown Prince Leopold found out their relationship and tries to separated them once and for all. but the bound between Eisenheim and Sophie is to strong. in the end Crown Prince Leopold end up killing Sophie. since then the heart broken Eisenheim have been obsessed with communicating with the death soul. by summoning out different soul that died from the pass few days. he have attract quite a followers. his magic performance is not just a magic trick anymore. although he seems like he is heart broken. but then Crown Prince Leopold knows in truth Eisenheim is trying to find evidence that he have killed Sophie. and so he order Uhl which is working under him to stop Eisenheim. but then when Uhl get the chance to capture Eisenheim he have disappear into think air. just like how he summon all those spirits in his show. desperate on finding out where Eisenheim is. Uhl have gone to where Eisenheim stayed and search through all the files that might contain secret to his tricks. but all he find is a graph that contain the information about a locker that Eisenheim have made for Sophie years ago when they were still young. and because of this locker Uhl have found something suspicious about Crown Prince Leopold.
After a few secret investigating Uhl have found out that the one that killed Sophie is Crown Prince Leopold. and so he when to arrest him. but then refuse to admit his crime Crown Prince Leopold finally choose the road of suicide. after the death of Crown Prince Leopold. Uhl have retired from his position of work and is planing on leaving the city. but then a small boy have approach him and pass him a file that contains the secret of Eisenheim most famous trick. he then found out the locket that was suppose to be with him was gone from his pocket. then he saw a guy that looks almost like Eisenheim passes him. he suspect something was going on and go after that guy into a train station. then finally he have match all the pieces together and realize that all this time Eisenheim and Sophie have been planing this all along. just to be able to be together with each other.
The whole movie have been a big trick of Eisenheim since the moment Crown Prince Leopold found out he n Sophie have been meeting secretly. but then you won't know it until the very end of it. personally i like the flow of this film. is like a big magic show of romance. the moment Crown Prince Leopold killed Sophie he already have been cornered by Eisenheim. but of cause this trick won't work if Uhl is not the one that is in charge to capture Eisenheim. so the most favorite character of mine is non other then Uhl. although he seems not that important from the beginning. but i think he is the one that help Eisenheim plan being a success. have a big clap for him and all the performers in this film. Neil Burger really have do a great job on this film. should go n check out his other film as well. the angle and the lighting is flawless. this makes the whole film looks elegant. it was full of mystery, suspension and of cause romance. bravo. and i hope you all will enjoy this film. =D
