Review of The Illusionist (2006) by Lenh. — 27 Feb 2007
This was one of the best movies I have seen in some time. I see the voting is all over the board. Yes, if you think too hard, you will come to the conclusion, the conclusions relied on for the "hoax" to come together is a reach, and you can complain (like so many in the movie) they wanted explanations to the illusions, but as any good magician knows, don't give up the secrets, it adds to their effect, and so be it in a magician's movie.
The book of directions for the orange tree at the end tell us they affirm to all that they were just illusions after all. If you have a week romantic side, and just want to be entertained, this is a great movie.
Much better than the other similar movies that have all seemed to hit recently. I liked the small shack at the end as well. Proof they had no quest for material things, just themselves.
