'morning, afternoon, evening to everybody,
Natalia came to class with The Illusionist, John brought us Finding Nemo, and we watched them. The Illusionist has no English subtitles on this DVD, that's why we watched the film with the Italian ones.
Here you have questions to answer: do your own research on the Internet to find more accurate information about the film, so to pay great attention to formal correctness when you answer.
1. Where does The Illusionist begin?
2. Why did Eisenheim start to be interested in magic tricks?
3. Who did Eisenheim fall in love with?
4. Was she of his same social class?
5. Were they allowed to see each other?
6. What happened?
_________________
7. When do they meet again?
8. Who is she engaged with?
9. Does the Crown Prince Leopold kill her?
10. Where is she found?
11. Who does the Illusionist summon in his next show?
12. Is the end of the film what you expected?
13. Can you summarize it?
You can also say if you think that watching films is profitable and why, it will be interesting to compare ideas.

previous to and you're just extremely magnificent. I actually like
what you have acquired here, certainly like what you are stating and the way in which you say it.
You make it entertaining and you still care for
to keep it sensible. I can't wait to read far more from you.
This is really a tremendous website.

Please let me know. Thanks
2. Eisenheim met a travelling magician when he was a boy.
3. He fell in love with Sophia, the Duchess Von Teschen.
4. No, she wasn’t. She had aristocratic origins. He was a furniture maker’s son.
5. No, they weren’t. They came from too different worlds.
6. They were discovered and separated.
7. They meet again fifteen years later, when Eduard (the true name of Eisenheim) comes back to Vienna.
8. She is engaged with the Crown Prince Leopold, the heir to the throne.
9. No, he doesn’t. It seems so, but it is another “illusion”.
10. She is found in a river bed.
11. He summons the ghost of Sophia.
12. Yes, it is. I really expected an happy ending.
The duchess is already engaged to the Crown Prince Leopold .
But she loves Edward the magician , she knows him since when they were kids .
For to live the them love, Edwuard designs a plan to clear Sophie, simulating the her death , and accusing of this , the Crown Prince Leopold .
At the end The magician and his duchess will love each other forever.
8)She was engaged with the Crown Prince Leopold.
9)He kills the duchess using the his sword. But , in effect, it is not gone in this way.
Edwar had designed the false death of the duchess .
10)She fell dead in the stable.
11)The illusionist summons the ghost of the duchess.
12)In effect no. I believed until the end, that the crown Prince Leopold had truely killed the duchess.
2)Because when he was a child he met a magician, who showed him a few tricks.
3)He meets a girl , Sophie , and the two fall in love. Sophie is an duchess .
4)No, she wasn't .Sophie was an duchess and he was a farmer.
5)No, they weren't allowed .
6)The two lovers were forbidden to meet .Edward and Sophie were seen no more for many years .
