“One day we will run away together. We’ll disappear.” What filled their babyish faces was faith to their young love. Many years later, when they are grown up, this teenage promise composes a magical love story.
As many love stories, the thread of this movie is familiar and traditional. A couple fell in love since teenager, however, the distance of origins separated them. Years later they met again and they were both unhappy, therefore they cast about to be together and breakaway.
If this is the entire story, I think it is rather too boring. Fortunately, the fact is this movie finishes the love story by using magic and many ingenious plans. Just seems like the necklace which is made by young Eisenheim, simple but unusual. In my opinion, the most successful thing of this movie is the director mix magic into love, which has already been magical enough. Apart from this, dazzling magic show and flawless escape make the movie seems like a beautiful illusion.
Love is magical. With love, you will be in possession of the strongest power and the wisest brain all over the world. That is the reason why Eisenheim and Sophie can machinate such a perfect plan to get away from the prince. We can’t deny that the prince is very intelligent, however, what he lacks is love, the most important thing.
On the other hand, love is blind. When we are moved by the perfect happy ending, we shouldn’t ignore that, no matter how rebarbative the prince was, he was smeared by the couple, this is something not so brilliant. When we fall in love, we may easily lose our rational thought. That might sound terrible, but it is just a fascination of love, isn’t it? How to overcome this shortcoming is an interesting question, I think everyone will find the only answer belongs to oneself.
In one word, this movie is magical and beautiful enough. This magical love story tells us that no matter how magical something looks like, it can and will be explained. The most important thing is, we put love in it.
