Poetic Film Review: The Illusionist (2006)

in movies •  7 hours ago 

(source: tmdb.org)

In twilight's hush, where shadows dance,
A tale unfolds of magic's trance,
In Vienna's streets, where hearts once beat,
A love entwined, in death to meet.

Eisenheim, the Illusionist's name,
Whispers secrets of a love that flamed,
From commoner's son to royal's grace,
A bond that fate could not erase.

The city's grandeur, sepia tones,
Reveal a world of nostalgia's moans,
Glass's score, a melancholy sigh,
Echoes through the years, as time goes by.

Norton's portrayal, a mystery's veil,
Biel's beauty, love's eternal gale,
Sewell's villainy, a sinister shade,
Giamatti's struggle, a moral trade.

The Illusionist's tale, a tragic dance,
Of love and loss, in a bygone romance,
Though overshadowed by another's fame,
Its beauty shines, a worthy game.
