A 2006 movie starring Edward Norton as "The Illusionist" named Eisenheim, Jessica Biel as Sophia is the NEWEST FAVORITE MOVIE of mine.
I've watched it on Star Movies and it amazes me a lot. Being a fan of magic, illusions or any movies that trigger my imagination interests me a lot and this one defeated Harry Potter and the twilight series. Even me didn't have any idea on how the story would end...
So, the story is about Eisenheim and Sophia, childhood sweethearts who were separated because Sophia belongs to the upperclass while Eisenheim is just a cabinet maker's son. Years after they met again while Eisenheim is doing a show at a theatre... unfortunately, sophia is already in a relationship with a prince. Of course, the typical love story goes on... Still, their unrequited love goes on, so they made a plan...
(sigh!) I can't tell more, because it's so overwhelming and amazing... I really clapped my hands after...
Hopefully, one of this days you'll get to see it too.
Anyway, I've also watched "Sweeney Todd: the demon barber of fleet street"
- so, so... the ending is the same as Moulin Rouge (bitin!) may be that is the pattern of every musical turned to a movie thing, but hands up for the soundtrack and the costume... A+!
