The Illusionist
Set in Vienna at the turn of the century, “the Illusionist” is an entertaining and crafty film, bursting with clever and deceitful characters, with a tricky plot to follow.
At the beginning of the movie you meet the illusionist, Eisenheim( Edward Norton), right when his new show is announced to be shut down by the chief police inspector (Paul Giamatti).
The film then flashes back to tell Eisenheim’s background, where he meets an unusual man that has a few tricks up his sleeve. The man and everything then vanishes because no one knew if it actually happened. Eisenheim then was interested, he began to teach himself some tricks. Many people thought that he had special powers.
In the process of one his tricks he meets the love of his life, the duchess, Sophie (Jessica Biel). They become friends, then it gets more serious as they grow older. Sophie is above him in society so their love is not right in society. They are then separated from each other for many years. Eisenheim travels around the world to learn more about his tricks and to perform magic in public. Eisenheim does astonishing tricks, from an orange tree growing within seconds to conjuring spirits, stunning and silencing the audience.
Eisenheim is then informed that the crown prince Leopold( Rufus Sewell) would be attending his show. Crown Prince Leopold, known for his abusive behaivior, was accompanied by the one and only Sophie. The prince volunteers Sophie to be in Eisenheims act, at which he recognizes at first glance. She is slow to learn who he really was but when she finally discovers who he is, they start meeting secretly and make up for the time they lost. The prince finds out, which leads to a long and twisted plot.
Edward Norton, who plays the stiff and artful Illusionist, Eisenheim, is the best choice for this movie. Beside the fact that his accent changes frequently, Norton’s performance is memorable. He gets into his character in a subtle and yet intense way.
The story was told in the eyes of Paul Giamatti, who played the chief inspector Uhl. He was amazed and still a little suspicious of Eisenheim’s ability. Giamatti’s character was serious but very likable. Director Neil Burger obviously knew what he was doing when he cast these actors because they played into their role satisfyingly.
This film was a one of a kind because it tied in everything there should be in a movie, it contained romance, magic, drama and a twisted plot. Even though there wasn’t much dialogue, all the empty spaces were filled with extravagant music that put you in the right mood.

First of all it is a bit too long…and you give far too many details about the plot of the movie. No one likes a spoiler. The rhythm is all wrong in this…it reads like a book report that you were forced to write about a book you didn’t like but have to put a positive spin on it. When reading it…although you say it was good…one doesn’t really get a sense of that from reading it. Did you like this movie really? Why? Was it stunning visuals? Character interaction? Was it a well written script? Was the dialog believable? You didn’t discuss the cinematography at all. Also….satisfyingly? That is not a description that would get people to the theaters. Good luck.
I think for a review this is way too lengthy, try working on summarizing the movie more, use more adjectives and words that really brings the movie alive for the viewers.
it seems as though it is more of a summary, than an analysis of the movie. You should go into the techniques used in the movie and the depth of the characters.
