The Illusionist
The Illusionist
"Nothing is what it seems."
"Nothing is what it seems."

Eisenheim (Edward Norton) is a stage magician who amazes the audiences of turn-of-the-century Vienna, drawing the attention of Crown Prince Leopold (Rufus Sewell). When the Prince's intended, Sophie von Teschen (Jessica Biel), assists the magician onstage, Eisenheim and Sophie recognize each other from their childhoods -- and a dormant love affair is rekindled. As the clandestine romance continues, Chief Inspector Uhl (Paul Giamatti) is charged by Leopold to expose Eisenheim, and Eisenheim prepares to execute his greatest illusion yet.
Oh.My.GOD.
I just finished watching The Illusionist for my Human Communication assignment(We had to write a review on a movie and apply human com concepts into it so yeah). I know it's quite an old movie(dated back in 2006) but heck, you SO NEED to watch this if you haven't. It's MESMERIZING. Seriously. One of the best mystery movies I've seen. The ending is MIND-BLOWING! I was all jaw dropped and wide-eyed. It has a big twist at the end.
'Nothing is what it seems', indeed.
I'll leave you the trailer of it:
