The Illusionist

Alas, on Monday the 22nd I found myself stuck for 11 hours again with just a 6" screen. Before sleeping off most of the flight, I caught one of the in-flight selections.

Cheesy as it sounds, I don't like watching movies with unhappy endings. That's not why I want to immerse myself in film - to be saddened. But despite the tragedy in this movie, I found the promise of hope. Plus, though this may be obvious already, I'm easily fooled by plot twists.

I will watch this again some day on a larger screen with pleasure.

2006, 110 minutes, directed by Neil Burger
