Like when you go to a magic show and you know how they do the illusions. That's how I am when I watch any movies where they have people flying through the air.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Every time I go to a movie, it's magic, no matter what the movie's about.
The goal is to really blur the line. Can you perform a magic trick in a way that someone doesn't think it's a magic trick but is something amazing they haven't seen before? Then they have to wrestle with reality.
Illusions are art, for the feeling person, and it is by art that we live, if we do.
Illusions commend themselves to us because they save us pain and allow us to enjoy pleasure instead. We must therefore accept it without complaint when they sometimes collide with a bit of reality against which they are dashed to pieces.
The secret to film is that it's an illusion.
Movies are like magic tricks.
There's a way in which 'The Illusion' is a play about the theater.
You can watch actors create their illusions, but if you don't see where they get the pigeons from, you don't really know how they're doing it.
When I did my first few television specials, my illusions were so advanced that it took a couple of years before the other illusionists could even figure out what I was doing, let alone try to imitate me.
We all need illusions. That's why we love movies.
