I can't say that I don't like this movie. This movie is nice, but it is not more than that. I thought it was going to be such a boring movie. In the end, Edward Norton proved that I was wrong, and yes, I agreed to take my thought before. But it was not more than nice, as I've said earlier.
Eisenheim was an illusionist, maybe one of the greatest on that year. Most of people watched and being astonished by his tricks. Nothing was special during his shows. Except, of course, when his childhood special friend, Sophie, came and became the volunteer of his show.
The old relationship began to grow up again, love was spread anywhere. But, as can be seen on other old movies, there was (always) the antagonist character, Leopold, the royal prince that was supposed to be Sophie's husband. Conflict started to be fired up, with lot of anger here and there. The death of Sophie and the disappearing of Eisenheim seemed to be the climax of this movie, especially when Leopold agreed to do the same thing to himself: suicide.
But then the story was closed with an unbelievable fact, a fact that all of facts that were trusted before, maybe, only illusions. So, which one was right and which one was illusion? Everything was answered in the end of the movie.
As others may have reviewed, Edward Norton was nice in this movie. I like his role as mysterious yet tricky Eisenheim. But to bo honest, the most likeable character for me is Uhl. I love conflict that he had in his mind, and how he betrayed Leopold in the end, just to find out that all facts that he believed until that time were completely wrong.
As conclusion: Nice movie, good plot, nice character
