Freaks were born with their trauma. They've already passed their test in life. They're aristocrats." Diane Arbus My life seems to operate sideways~ backwards almost~ and I have come to see thats right for me. A rain of snakes,disruption that cause's growth ,the world split in two.Everyone has there own path,mine has been one of thought,mostly of things folks today seem to disregard. Truth, personal integrity,politeness,...not all eschew these things.For me its been the easiest way to be~ any other way leads me to more trouble..and a sense of humor,above all about myself. Laughter keeps a person sane,and I enjoy seeing the coyote in myself~ the eternal trickster

The Illusionist~ recomendation to rent the DVD
:
The Illusionist written and directed by Neil burger. The surprising Jessica Biel, consummate Edward Norton, Rufus Sewell and the subtle performance of Paul Giamatti, play the characters. This is a visually lovely film, in homage to early photographic styles, which is set in 19 nth century Vienna. The story of a boy, a girl, class difference, unbridled power corruption and murder is off set with magic or perhaps the supernatural powers. Foremost this is an entertaining tale, a classic love story with many magical illusions peppered through out. All were recreated as they would have been preformed at the time, with very little CGI enhancement. As the story unfolds one begins to see more under the surface of the tale Through out the film ,using diverse devices, the viewer is asked some question ~Does the universe make sense? What is real? What does one take on faith? In a world where the truth ~ be it political or spiritual ~ is often elusive, how does one live their life? Many blog writers and readers will recognize that these questions are often debated here.The film allows one many perspectives. For that reason, and many more I highly recommend this DVD for rental.

Someone recommended this movie when I first started Netflix. It finally came up in my queue and my wife and I both really enjoyed it.

Illusionist is good. But The Prestige is even better. It's darker, but the story is better.

Both The Illusionist and The Prestige were good, but The Illusionist was better in my mind. The Prestige was too much of a corny "I'm better than you are" movie where The Illusionist was a movie based upon deception. The political aspect of The Illusionist gave it more depth and separated it from The Prestige. Paul Giamoni deserves special mention for his role in The Illusionist. posted by
