I don't typically pay close attention the the musical score, but this was one of the best movie music scores I've ever heard! Hopefully the composer was recognized or awarded for his/her work on this film.
was it just me or do ed norton / jessica biel have zero chemistry? i never really felt like rooting for them and thats just weird because i adore ed norton.
I absolutely love this film, I must admit that the trailer gave me a very different idea of what the film would be like because of it's (the trailer's) darker mood, whereas the film was a light fairy story. It has a plot that seems simplistic but is actually very clever: It has had all excessive talk removed and what's left dialogue-wise is crisp and strong, the way it all builds up to what the Police Inspector finds out in the end is wonderful (Although I won't give it away ;-)
yes it was really amazing the end shocked me , can u confirm me if i had understand it in the right way because i was really shocked ,,,eisenheim and sophie have organized all that(her killing) to be together.. she never dies and they live together at the end???only the prince killed himself and the inspector loses his work, thats it???thnx for answering!!
Because of this, it makes you sort of pity the prince. Indeed he did conspire to overthrow the emperor, but aside from that his fate was completely decided upon the jealousy of one illusionist.
well he was a violent drunk, who basically admitted to killing a woman in the past... so hes not exactly a nice guy, and he would have killed Eisenheim and Sophie just for being in love, so hes still pretty bad
technically, the crime of murdering Sophie he never committed. Sure, u can say he's innocent of that one. But remember that in his last scene with Uhl the prince told him that he could get away with the charge of murder. That's when Uhl told him that although that may be so, he's still guilty of conspiring against the emperor. Now, although the coup was never realized, just planning such a crime was already high treason. The emperor's guards had come for that. So, he's not an innocent prince.
indeed. its kinda funny how his actual crime was punished as a result of a crime he didnt commit...(forgive the bad sentence structure...im quite tired).
yeah the best of Edward Norton! Totally love it! :)

Ed Norton is superb in this film....but the score by Philip Glass is a phenomenal piece of work as well.

Nope, it was all a set up for her to run away. He did threaten her but he was drugged when that happened.

I might add, the prince also killed a woman before. He pushed her off the window but was able to get away with it.
