Love Behind a Magic of the Highest Standards!

Rating: 6/10 (12 March 2007)

This movie tells the story of Eisenheim the illusionist and Sophie, the woman that he has always loved, this takes place in the 19th century, and evolves around how a great magician makes a huge effort and create great tricks with the purpose of keeping her beloved at his side! The way that you get transported to the 19th century, the places, the clothes, everything is fascinating!, the story is interesting and captivating!, the acting role of Edward Norton is great!, Paul Giamatti and Jessica Biel do it well too! Rufus Sewell, as the "bad guy" is good as always.
The facts that takes down 4 stars from the rating are (for me) due to some facts so non realistic in the story, that turns a story that could have been true in something totally fictitious; that's my personal opinion, but for others, this can be understood by the fiction nature of the movie (based on a short story).
Well, a story about love and magic!, the deep magic behind the love and the fact that "love is something magical"?, well I leave the conclusion to you!
