Now you see me

The film Now You See Me is an American film of 2013 that is written by three people Boaz Yakin, Ed Solomon and Edward Ricourt and directed by Louis Leterrier. This film basically focuses on a collection cast of people like Mark, Melanie, Jesse Eisenberg, Dave, Morgan Freeman, Michael and Isla Fisher. Generally, the film is about an FBI representative and from the Interpol, an officer who is out there trying to follow a team of magicians who take on a depository robbery in the performance, give the audience the money after the bank robbery act (00:03:30 – 00:04:03). The movie was acted in the New York in early May, 2013 and the certified launch of the same month, 2013 in the United States by the summit entertainment.

In the next year, 2014 the movie won awards such the people’s choice after that, the movie was nominated for the empire, Saturn as the thriller film and also best acted.

Basically, the film has a deeper meaning than the outside view portrayed in this kinds of films. This is about the big-time magicians who are doing some kind of intelligent magic tricks which leave people amazed and wondering. These tricks involve the bank heist in the Las Vegas and people really benefited from this heist since the money taken from the banks was distributed to everyone around the place. Now You See Me is typically about a shady organization which is named The Eye which is believed to control the entertainers. While the viewers are amazed by these senseless actions of the movie, a very important movie is the main point that is being communicated. In the movie, the occult elite is the one that controls the entertainment business. Most of the critics of this film had basically the same complaint meaning in this film. The storyline is basically illogical since it has makes no sense but an audience catches in the real sense (00:01:30 – 00:02:15). Everything happening in this film is very implausible and hilarious. Even the overarching occurrence that is mind blowing in the movie actually mostly depends on so very many variables which could go wrong at any time and this is just but a very horrible plan.

Most viewers can try as much as possible to make sense out of this movie but it is actually not possible since it is a repetition of every scenario. However close a person can look into the movie, nothing makes as much sense as possible. The film keeps repeating the fact that the magicians will always have a way to distract the audience whereas there is real magic happening nearby. The police in this movie just chase, there are bank heist plots, the explosions happening among the audience are just a way to keep the eyes of the audience gathered occupied whereas the real magic is unfolding. The meaning is all in the entertainment industry, the kinds of forces that govern and rule it and those who are being used by the entertainment industry. The audience also is meaningful in the way they are being blindfolded and fooled by a master illusionist. Looking at the beginning of the movie, this is all the movie portrays. For example, using a certain line from the beginning which says that you can come in and close the door behind you since what you are seeing is nothing but something which I will use to rob you afterward (00:01:50 – 00:02:07). This line is particularly being said when the magic cards trick is being played to an audience, sums up the correct responsibility of the mass media and in general the entertainment industry. These magicians in the play are being recruited by a society which is secret and named The Eye which is using these entertainers in the furthering of the agenda and basically make the symbol known to the world and make this symbol a part of a culture that is very popular. In this movie, it is all about the magician, the themes are very important to capture in the Now You See Me film. The symbol is the main thing being communicated in this film.

In the first stages of the movie, there are basically four magicians who are doing what they want on their own in separates part of the city. They all are trying hard to make few extra coins for themselves in order to afford a living through the magic tricks. At these stages, they are very far from noticing their big time job as celebrities. In every scene, there is a hooded person who is following them from behind everywhere they go and leaves a certain note that is typically a tarot card that is an invitation for them (00:04:09 – 00:04:15). These four magicians are being selected since they have an excellent performance in this field of magic and in many cases they seem to use the occult magic in their tricks. The magicians all meet in a very strange apartment which has strange complications inside. After discovering the many riddles placed in there, they all see the elite’s methodology which is laid out for them. This incidence is what makes them more famous just like the magic.

After joining this occult, The Eye, these magicians next location is in Las Vegas where they are surrounded by a very vibrant roaring crowd of people and a background noise saying This is the showbiz. These four magicians who were previously independent and free have now become famous and joined a team to be known as the Four Horsemen(01:00:09 – 01:19:15). The name symbolizes the Bibles Book of Revelation where there are four horsemen are a harbinger of the Apocalypse and the temptations which will follow. These four horsemen are associated with being pestilence, famine, war and finally death. With this outline, it is very strange that a bunch of magicians will be named after a Book in the Bible. Now, this makes sense since we recognize the fact that these magicians are there on behalf of the occult elite. This Book of Revelation is very important and of great need in the secret societies since it is believed to have an occult explanation which is provided by the initiates. Many of the symbolisms used by these four magicians are basically derived from here and there is no exception on this matter. Basically, the main reason for this movie is to send a message of The Eye to the world.
