Tonight I finally, finally bought my own copy of The Illusionist.
It is my absolute favorite movie of all time.
Every time I watch it I'm just blown away by how beautiful it is.
"What do you want?"
"Nothing."
"Then why are you doing this?"
"To be with her."
“From the moment we enter this life we are in the flow of it. We measure it and we mock it, but we cannot defy it. We cannot even speed it up or slow it down. Or can we? Have we not each experienced the sensation that a beautiful moment seemed to pass too quickly, and wished that we could make it linger? Or felt time slow on a dull day, and wished that we could speed things up a bit?”
There's no explicit nudity (amazingly) but you probably shouldn't watch it at work.
Your computer might explode from the perfection of it.
I almost didn't post this because this movie is so special to me and so close to my heart that I had a moment of wanting to keep it hidden. But it's too perfect not to share.
If you've seen The Illusionist-- what did you think of it?

Oh my goodness!! I absolutely LOVED this movie! You're right, it is so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOh, and by the way, I WANT, no I NEED, one of those lockets.
Yaaaay! Isn't it the best? And those lockets actually exist. In real life. It wouldn't be inappropriate to get a wildly romantic gift...for myself, would it?

I love this film. So many people pan it and compare it to The Prestige. I liked The Prestige but prefer The Illusionist for it's beauty and the air of mysticism.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you. The Prestige was good, too, but The Illusionist just feels more magical to me and it's visually just stunning.
