Love makes the world disappearThe only way for their love to see the light is when he (Edward Norton) learns how to make them disappear. It's love coated with magic acquainted with lightly thrilling events.
I like the way Eisenheim (Edward Norton) carries himself as a magician and as a lover. He says very little but his eyes and actions speak volumes!
I love everything in this movie and I don't mind seeing it again.

The Illusionist
Rather ordinary, a bit long and drawn out...found it did not hold my interest. Wouldn't rave about it to others at all. April 6, 2008
Do Not Be Fooled; This Movie is Excellent
The Illusionist features excellent performances by Edward Norton as Eisenheim, Paul Giamatti as the Chief Police Inspector, and Rufus Sewell as the evil Crown Prince Leopold. The leads play off each other to extraordinary effect. The plot is brilliant, and fascinating. I was also very impressed with Jessica Biel who was radiant in the movie. A supernatural feel permeates the film as Eisenheim captures audiences with his baffling "tricks."
There has been much said about the fact that The Illusionist was released around the same time (it was released first) as The Prestige; however, having enjoyed both films very much, I give the nod to this film. I was very entertained and thought the time spent watching this movie was worth it. The turn of the century Vienna scenery was visually pleasing. Edward Norton continues to be one of the finest actors in the industry.
I highly recommend this five star movie. April 5, 2008
Story-telling at its best
An exquisite film with splendid photography, a beautiful and haunting score, and a stupendous cast. Edward Norton delivered a veritably mesrmerizing and unforgettable performance, Paul Giamatti was equally compelling, and Rufus Sewell, in the shoes of the bad guy, was outstanding. Even though the story is told in such a way that you don't know what really happened till the very end, it is the kind of film you'd want to see more than once, knowledge of its ending notwithstanding.

Captivating
You literally cannot even pause to go to the bathroom. You have to know what will happen, and you won't be dissappointed, and you wont expect the outcome. An amazing movie, truly. March 27, 2008
