This movie restrores me back to life

Rating: 9/10 (30 September 2007)

There are 5 films that did just that to me: The Fountain, Taxi Driver, Fight Club, Deer Hunter, and Gattaca. The entire sequences of the film reminds us of the forgotten art of black-and-white films. The way the lighting and the camera focuses in the middle of the scene, the breath-taking use of lights, and gorgeous composed music. This movie makes you feel as if you are in a dream, hypnotize...whatever you may call it; and leave you thinking and trying to find the secrets that lies beyond the illusion...but you won't find it until Neil Burger give you a glimpse of what is going on, since you are already became a part of the illusion. You will feel magical. REAL magic is what this film possessed. And the best part of it is: you absorb the movie and it became a part of you. Those feeling never left. That overwhelms me with indescribable warmth that surge through me until now, that I am typing this.
Do not compare this with 'The Prestige'. Just because 'Spartacus' is set in Rome doesn't means it is the same as 'Cleopatra'. But since 'The Prestige' came out first, the shining light of this film is blackened.
This one deserve a watch. More than that, actually. Do not REMEMBER 'The Prestige' when you watch this. It is a totally different movie with a totally different formulas that does not disappoint anyone looking for a good movie.
It's a real treat. 9/10 .
