TOPIC: Movie Magic

Movie Magic 3 years 8 months ago #1739

Magic in movies are so over-rated. Like Harry Potter is all about flying broomsticks and fireballs coming out of wands. The Prestige was okay but where are the movies about classic magic tricks. And I am definitely not talking about crappy Disney Channel movies.

There are some movies about magic and magicians... for example, the Illusionist and another one I saw recently on a plane that I don't remember the name of unfortunately. Would be good if there were more though for sure, because it can make an interesting story for sure. I'd like to see a movie about the life of David Copperfield.

It would be great if they made a movie about David Copperfield. I would even be tempted to see a feature length Criss Angel Movie

While a film on DC and the crew of minds surrounding him would be interesting, the only CA movie I would pay to see would focus on his hair band years.

hmmmmm, that would be quite interesting.
I agree with you to an extent HaxxorW though i suppose many of the "extra ordinary" magic films are rated for young children

"Extra Ordanairy" magic isnt only directed to young children. Extra Ordainary magic is awesome
I reckon that thumb scape fits under this catagory

I think the whole wizardry thing is just a fad for pre-teens and should hopefully end after the next Harry Potter otherwise I would be tempted to write my own script for a movie about classic magic.

Why are people carrying on?
Are magicians classified as wizards, or witches or anything?

Re:Movie Magic 3 years 8 months ago #1900

Are you thinking of The Prestige?

Of course magic in movies is going to be more fantastic than our magic. Editing does wonders. Watch Blaine's shows, then go and watch some Criss Angel. The effects Criss pulls off are insane compared to David (just look at their levitations)

On the more commercial level and referring to my latest blog, people want to believe this kind of stuff is real. Kids love Santa, so why not flying brooms or fire shooting from a wand. You cannot tell me that you would not want to have that power or an effect with the same impact.
