The Illusionist


Having loved his last movie so much I was really looking forward to this one. Again, not much talking except a word here or there. Animation was so cool. A magician near the end of his career & life - finds himself in Scotland before WWI. He meets a young girl that believes him to be magical. Alas, in efforts to keep the magic alive he spends all his money. In the end, he has to sell all his props, has no job, no money, and the girl finds a young man. He leaves a note that says, "There are no magicians." Too sad - he doesn't even do a magic trick for a kid on the train on his way home. All in all, I say: RENT IT later or Stream it for free before the awards.
