  • Essay / Film Now You See Me - 1391

    Last year saw many eye-catching films hit the big screen, one that particularly stood out to me was the heist film, Now You See Me. The film stars some well-known personalities such as Morgan Freeman, Mark Ruffalo, Isla Fisher, Woody Harrelson and Dave Franco. The film in a few words is very well explained by the synopsis provided by IMDB: “An FBI agent and an Interpol detective track down a team of illusionists who pull off bank robberies during their performances and reward their audiences with money. » There are many magic tricks besides the bank robbery, however, this trick is the focal point of the entire film. In the movie "Now You See Me", there are a lot of interesting features such as: the characters and their roles, the strengths and weaknesses of the overall plot, the foreshadowing displayed in the movie, the conflicts presented in this film, as well as some good life lessons to learn. In this particular film, there are a lot of significant characters. The magicians, known as the Four Horsemen, are our big tricksters in this situation. The first is Daniel Atlas; he is a world-famous magician, who has few nervous qualities. He tends to be very similar to our antagonist according to Stephanie Merry who said, "They're fun to watch with their gentle banter, but they're also dismissive and self-righteous." » The next person in the Four Horseman is Merritt McKinney, the mentalist. We are introduced to him through a scene where he scams a couple for money. There is another crook in the Four Horsemans known as Jack Wilder. He is the youngest of the group and is seen as childish until the end of the film. He is also a trickster and admires great mages... middle of paper ... life doesn't do that. I love the foreshadowing in this movie! It's great once you understand because you can watch the movie again and it's even better. The conflict is truly astonishing; it's great that there are conflicts both internal and external. Plus, it's not just a film without a message, there's actually a meaning behind everything that happens, which I appreciate as I'm sure other people do. The movie “Now You See Me” has a lot of ideas and qualities once you take a closer look and evaluate it. Overall, this is an excellent film that I would recommend. see-me-movie-review/2013/05/30/c7e5d2d8-c926-11e2-9245-773c0123c027_story.html http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/now_you_see_me/quotes/http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki /pmwiki.php/Film/NowYouSeeMe
