The Illusionist


I love happy endings. It makes everything worth it. All the tears, all the sadness, it takes it all away in one swoop. If there ever was a ‘feel good at the very end’ movie then this must be it. What appeared to be a simple love story had a fantastic twist at the end and a wonderful climax and ending. this movie comes highly recommended.

The movie is about an illusionist, a step up from your stage magician. His power lay in his ability to captivate the minds of his audience to a point of intrigue. At best they were left puzzled, at worst they were disillusioned beyond redemption. But it's a story about love; a love that was found and then lost and then found again and never to be lost again.

Life itself can be an illusion. Now you see it, now you don’t. Perhaps if we ask ourselves the question ‘will it matter in 5 years time?,’ today may appear an even greater illusion. Why worry over things that just don’t matter in the end. What’s all the fuss about? When push comes to shove, what really matters? I’d give it a shot. I’d say love, peace and happiness.

When all is said and done,some things will always matter. To love and be loved, to do so in peace and lastly to be happy. Nothing beats happiness. To be happy regardless… it seems to me a vision statement of some sort as it is something we continue to aspire to but can’t really perfect.

Mutual love is a powerful thing. If 2 parties can agree in love they can move mountains. The passion that burns in them both can achieve anything. Unrequited love is a pain. It’s like pouring water into a basket. It builds on nothing.

I believe in magic, the magic and the power of love. The fire it ignites, the passion it exhumes. The kind of love that electrifies, the titillating kind, unfortunately the fleeting kind…
