What a wonderful world

Part 1: Grand Illusion: It's a great movie with an impressive star cast, huge, beautiful stage and such a great story. I have to give it five stars.

The heart of a movie is story. The story is so complex yet simple, charged with emotion, action, mystery, love, violence, drama... there is nothing that is not there in this movie.

The director is very creative, so original and intelligent. She's interwoven diverse subjects with an equally diverse cast. The actors have become one with the character they're enacting. The set is grand, and the design inimitable, so much so that dividing one's attention between the drama and the set becomes a hard task indeed.

The director is also the producer, investing considerably in the project. She's also the story writer, set designer, lyricist, editor, cameraman... and the actors do their part.

You have a pretty big role in the film. And you act so well, too. Even though you really are not what you portray yourself to be. I mean, look at you. Deep within you are so beautiful, so powerful, intelligent... yet you are playing so convincingly the role of a powerless, 'lost' character who doesn't even know who he is! It's a rivetting performance.

It does seem though, that you have allowed yourself to be overtaken by the role playing. You have been acting almost since you were born, right? You wish to know what the movie's called? Don't pretend you don't know... it's all around you, you know it.

Hey, come out of the movie... I know acting is fun... but believe me sitting in audience and watching the movie is much more fun...!

I have just asked the director to cut my role and let me enjoy it sitting in audience! He just showed me a trick. Guess what? I can do both at a time. Act as well as observe it simultaneously. All you have to do is... well you know it in your heart!

It's real fun. Come on board, buddy!
