Everything is not as it may seem magic is just an illusion. The movie The Illusionist is a wonderful movie about a magician who performs many magnificent illusions. He grows famous by everyone and along his journey, finds his long lost love that was taken away from him as a child. Although many love him, the magician faces many problems; he always seems to escape those problems. I recommend this movie because one it ahs adventure. A woman comes face to face with death, but will she survive? Two it has romance, the magician finally finds his love, but will they able to stay together? Three there is suspense, you can't stop watching the movie. In the movie The Illusionist, you'll see the biggest illusion yet!

Love triumphs over all obstacles
Added 10/19/2009
Among the best movies I have seen, this shows the corruption in the final stages of the Austro-Hungarian empire, the insanity of a privileged aristocracy, the reality of inventiveness and character, while focusing on the love of a young duchess for a common carpenter-turned-wizard. The story line is compelling and inviting discussion, the characters are believable and brilliant, and the costumes and settings sterling. Neither staid nor ossified, this is one movie for all people, and can be watched repeatedly.

A decent film: cast and production was very good with unique storyline
Added 7/16/2009
ED NORTON and pretty JESSICA BEIL headline this flick.They do a good job . And this is a well done film and noticeably good production values. Story is about an Illusionists who powers captivate the public while he amazes them with his act and his seemingly endless powers. Beil is a childhood friend that re appears in his life as the love that didnt have a chance to blossom. The meet up again and hence we get this story. It was good althoough u do have to suspend any relistic beliefs in what becomes the illusionist act. I was able too accept it as an interesting film with a unique theme and good performances. 4 stars out of 5

Truly Mesmerizing
Added 7/15/2009
Nothing is as it seems here and throughout this movie, based on a masterful story, you are never sure whether Herr Eisenheim has truly developed supernatural powers or whether what he is doing is merely an illusion. Regardless of what may be the case, what he is doing has a tremendous impact and influence upon the minds and lives of people around him - winning the heart of a woman from a higher social class and affecting the life of the son of the emperor. Not only does he accomplish what those around him would consider impossible for a man of his social standing, but he does it with exquisite elegance. The movie is such a feast for my eyes, that I've watched it several times. Edward Norton is fabulous in the role of Herr Eisenheim.
