Writer-director Sylvain Chomet aims to conjure up quite a degree of emotion in his nearly dialogue-less, animated 80 minute film, and while he comes close to making a powerful impact, winds up falling flat thanks to a key facet missing from his movie &#8211; entertainment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Life is rough for The Illusionist in Paris in 1956. Nothing he pulls out of his sleeve or his hat can draw a crowd quite like the rising rock bands. The theater is packed full of screaming girls drooling over the glammed up boys in the band, but the moment The Illusionist takes the stage with his trusty, but testy rabbit, the place empties out. He\u2019s got no choice but to take his show on the road to try to find a crowd that appreciates his magic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The Illusionist tries to sell his act at theaters and parties, but it isn\u2019t until he winds up in a small pub in Scotland that he finds someone who\u2019s completely taken by his show, a young local named Alice. When The Illusionist decides it\u2019s time to move on, he heads to Edinburgh with Alice secretly in tow. Once there, the two immediately fall for each other \u2013 Alice for The Illusionist\u2019s magical abilities and The Illusionist for her interest \u2013 and the two begin to form a father\/daughter relationship. However, Alice can\u2019t stay a little girl forever and The Illusionist\u2019s acts begin to pale in comparison to Alice\u2019s new beau.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><em>The Illusionist<\/em> is a beautifully sweet and simple tale. In a world packed with wildly active and implausibly magical movies, it\u2019s rather nice to experience something entirely unpretentious. The Illusionist isn\u2019t a character harboring superhuman powers or even particularly outstanding magician abilities; he\u2019s just an awkward yet likeable man trying to make due the only way he knows how. Despite his situation, he\u2019s always humble and never acts out of rage unless it\u2019s to nab that pesky rabbit. Within moments, The Illusionist earns your sympathy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Alice is a bit down and out herself, stuck working in a bar with nothing more to show for her effort than a dilapidated pair of boots. Now, not only are you desperate for The Illusionist to have a ray of light in his life, but Alice too. When the two finally unite, the result is quite powerful. If only the film took hold of these more uplifting moments of the story rather than drowning us in the sorrow of their situation, which is seemingly hopeless, there might have been not only more to appreciate, but more to enjoy.<em><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">As touching as this story of two lonely souls wants to be, <em>The Illusionist<\/em> is just plain old sad and boring. Yes, the story is admirably effortless, but it\u2019s also quite dull. Perhaps it\u2019s only because our brains are saturated with the bold and bubbly animation of Pixar and DreamWorks Animation, but even the look of <em>The Illusionist<\/em> is rather depressing, particularly the expression on The Illusionist\u2019s face which is perpetually forlorn.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Actually, forlorn is the perfect way to describe this film in its entirety. Even to the tune of a more upbeat score, The Illusionist\u2019s exploits are dire. In fact, it\u2019s the mixture of rather hopeful ditties combined with the main character\u2019s sour expression and grim prospects that make the piece even more dismal. Yes, there is an instant connection between the audience and the character, but that winds up making his situation more painful. The only honest moment of satisfaction comes when The Illusionist and Alice unite, but otherwise they live in a painfully bleak reality.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">As easy as it is to admire the film\u2019s noble intentions, it\u2019s equally as hard to keep your eyes from closing during the show. The detail of the animation is quite spectacular as is the modest joining of these two characters, but what it comes down to is that actually experiencing <em>The Illusionist<\/em> isn\u2019t only a major downer, but a downright bore, too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><strong>Technical: B<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><strong>Voice Acting: N\/A<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><strong>Story: C-<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><strong>Overall: C<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">By Perri Nemiroff<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_38691\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-38691\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/the_illusionist_poster-535x794.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/the_illusionist_poster-535x794.jpg\" alt=\"The Illusionist Poster\" title=\"The Illusionist Poster\" width=\"500\" height=\"742\" class=\"size-full wp-image-38691\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/the_illusionist_poster-535x794.jpg 535w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/the_illusionist_poster-535x794-202x300.jpg 202w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-38691\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Illusionist Poster<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title: The Illusionist Directed By: Sylvain Chomet Voice Cast: Jean-Claude Donda, Eilidh Rankin It&#8217;s nice to find a filmmaker with good intentions, but there&#8217;s just so far the intent alone can get you.
