A great magician, and a great beginning - who in real life has such courage?

Personally, I feel that this film is to recall the magician's tribute to him, and at the same time reveal the author's own views on the choice of career and life.


Dropped out of law school (LA) at first because I couldn't like the legal thing I was doing. The beginning of the problem is presented here. Do all the people in the law school like law?

The hero's father (played by tom hanks) said to the hero in a scene where he talks to the magician at the back (a scene that I personally think is very exciting), "Do you think I dance every day to go to work, and I'm very happy? "

At least his father didn't think so. Work is work. It has nothing to do with passion or interest. This also explains why he must want his son to go to law school. It is a dream that he wants to accomplish but is unable to accomplish.

hehe. What I like about this movie is that he actually shows a lot of contradictions and confusions in our lives.
To magnify this contradiction is, do you like your current job? Are you doing what you are passionate about now? A good job in the package is one that you like right now? Do you like the 9-to-5 white-collar workplace?

The male lead at least legally knows that he has no passion or interest, and his choice is simple, QUIT. Follow the magician. When the magician invited him to follow him for a very simple reason "i've got a lot of experiences to share". On

the other hand, Buck, he has always loved mind magic shows, a passion for 40 years. It can be imagined that when he was young, he devoted himself to this biz without hesitation. Why are his assistants such young people? Maybe the director wants to imply that you can ignore the mentor around you, and you can also cherish him faithfully. The final result is different.

What happened to the hero in the end? Have you become a writer?

After reading the thank you speech for the curtain call at the end of the film, I realized that the male protagonist is actually the representative of the original author of the film, and finally became a writer, writing a book called "great buck howard" which was made into a film. . . .
