A Movie that Every Son and Daughter Should See

People and the relationships we have with them are not always as they seem. A wise person once told me, "There are two sides to every story. And then there's the truth."

A dying man is given the opportunity to watch selected clips from his estranged son's life, and in doing so realizes that all the ideas in his son's head weren't at all accurate. After all, how often in your life have parent and child misunderstood one another?

After watching this movie, you'll feel inspired to reconnect with people you care about, if for nothing else, just to clear away the illusions and love each other in truth.

Refreshing Piece of Work

This movie is an example of independent cinema at it's finest. The multi-layered plot, the character development, the compelling performances from Douglas and Goorjian create a story complexity that is lost in mainstream film. This refreshing piece of work makes me excited to see what Michael Goorjian will bring us in the future. May 6, 2008

Being interested in old movies and having performed some of the music for the film, I enjoyed watching Illusion. I missed it in theatres and was glad to find it available as a DVD. February 5, 2008

Illusion

Great movie Mr. Douglas is amazing I got this on recommendation from a freind and I was not disappointed. If you like movies with a message you will probably like this one. The main character reminds me of myself when I was bold and did crazy things for the girl I loved. October 12, 2007
