The french detective was also in Inglorious Bastards. That's where you recognize her from. I doubt the "wishing bad on others" thing is real. I've had a pretty cool life, for me, and I've definitely wanted bad things to happen to a few others over the years. Sounds more like cult logic to keep people in check. So I don't like movies about magicians. Its lazy writing that makes you think its smarter than it is. I'll explain. When you write a story, you have a framework that builds as you write it but you often know how you want to end it. When writing about magicians there is no framework, just an ending, because you can put the characters into ANY situation and they just magically get out of it without the viewer following the journey because the character is "10 steps ahead of everyone" in the story, and the viewers. The writer was too lazy to create a journey, then they make anything up to explain how they got out of it, which makes you feel tricked. It is the epitome of arrogance on the page. You thought Jessie's character was annoying, lol, just wait until you realize the entire movie is acting like just as arrogant as his character is, lol. The writer and story make you feel like they are super smart and clever but only because they never gave you anything. In story writing, you leave breadcrumbs to follow, but in stories about magicians, like this one, there are no breadcrumbs, the plot twists have almost no impact because you're not invested, except the last one which is barely a plot twist because they didn't write any clues to catch it. This movie is like going to a Vegas show. Its just meant you "wow" you with dazzle and misdirection, not take you on a journey. But unlike a Vegas show, which is in person, a movie doesn't have misdirection. It can't distract you because its literally showing you the only thing you are able to see. You are 'forced to watch' instead of 'distracted to watch'. Its called movie magic. Its manipulating you to "think" you were on a journey but you never were because they never gave you a chance to process anything. Everything explained is made up after the fact. Its the equivalent of shiny lights and loud noises. The entire movie is chasing after the main characters, not following them. And we are force to accept any explanation for everything, which means they literally can make anything up to explain away every loophole they create for themselves. Its effortless writing. The main characters are over the top charismatic and we are forced to chase after them, which means the entire movie is forced fangirl-ing over characters we are forced to chase after, lol. No character development. The entire a movie was an ad for the sequel, basically, lol.

2024-01-11 23:27:56 +0000 UTCIf interested in watching a great tv show that has to do with magicians, I would watch The Magicians on Netflix. Think it is 5 seasons. Great show with great actors. Comedy is good, it has good drama and story lines.

2024-01-11 21:35:25 +0000 UTCI'm only 5 minutes in but it looks like the version you're watching is cutting a bunch of scenes short - I've had to pause like six times now to let mine catch up. Not sure what's going on but in case anyone else has this problem, it's probably not them :]
