Hi guys, I had seen this film and here is my review about a magician during the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
The Story
Okay, the story is based on a fictionalised version of Crown Prince Rudolf who allegedly committed suicide with Baroness Mary Vetsera, his 17 years old mistress at his hunting lodge at Mayerling. His name was changed to that of Crown Prince Leopold, who in a contrast to the real-life Crown Prince Rudolf, serves as the antagonist of the film.
He plans a Coup D'etat against his father, the aging Emperor Franz Joseph and usurp both the Austrian and Hungarian crowns. A young magician must team up with the Crown Prince's fiance.
I actually know about the history of the Dual Monarchy during my trip to Eastern Europe 10 years ago, and this film is an example despite that is partially fictional. I was really surprise that Leopold actually looks like Rudolf in particularly their appearance.
The Characters
As mentioned, in a contrast to Leopold, Rudolf would not usurp the dual monarchy kiti cha enzi from his father despite his liberal maoni clashes with his conservative father on a number of political matters.
Both Eisenheim and Sophie are purely fictionalised characters, many people tend to misunderstood them as anarchist throughout the film.
The Location
I was really surprise that it was shot in the Czech Republic despite that the story is set in Vienna, maybe because they either could not get permission au that Vienna has some modernised buildings.
Overall, it looks pretty and it reminds me of me my Eastern European trip, inlcuding Vienna.
Magic Time
So, here is my review on the film and tell me what do wewe think about it.

So, here is my review on the film and tell me what do wewe think about it.
As wewe probably have already guessed, I am rewatching and recapping Poldark. This romantic saga follows Ross Poldark (Robin Ellis) as he loses his fiancée, the well-bred beauty, Elizabeth (Jill Townsend), to his cousin Francis (Clive Francis). Ross ends up marrying his servant, the unlikely-looking Demelza (Angharad Rees), but his passion for Elizabeth simmers on for years. Set in late 18th century Cornwall, the plot follows Ross Poldark’s attempts to make his derelict tin mines a success.
