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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We all need illusions. That's why we love movies.
I get really nervous if pigeons are flying around before shows. I can't stand them after one once flew in through my bathroom window and went for me while I was having a wee. That was enough. I think pigeons target me.
There's a way in which 'The Illusion' is a play about the theater.
With a lot of actors, you've got to chip through the surface to see who the real person is.
I have never had trouble with any actor being able to visualise things. They are amazing. As long as you have your monster head on a long stick, so you can hold it up there and you can wave it around and let them see it and explain it to them, they are just great.
I am not into the unrealistic realm of magic realism where birds talk.
I don't think movies or television have any basis in reality at all. It's all just pretend. That's what's fun about it.
Many filmmakers pretend that they never see anything, which has always seemed odd to me.
The secret to film is that it's an illusion.
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.
