a musical story for children...and their parents

I shall have wanted to write these words over instant, in peak of emotions, when the heart writhes, that hands tremble and that eyes close up to avoid crying. But I could not. First of all because you would have understood nothing in what I would have tried to say to you, then because I had no means of it. Today I have it, so I express myself.What made me leave the room backwards? Why have I the vague impression that this film changed me? I do not succeed in coming out to it of the head. What potion, which filter, which magical dust? Let us try to be clear: "Magical" is the nicest film which I have never seen, though say about it criticisms. I shall have wanted never it to finish.Landscapes to take off splendid, plans are so well turned that they imagine continuously in a dream, music rocks us, attracts us tears and smiles. Never I had so much cordiality as actors. Perhaps because they were full of sincerity and cordiality too. They did not play for us, but with us. Louis Dussol is simply marvelous; so true, so engaging!I who am not fan of Cali, I completely discovered it in this film. It is of exuberant feelings and natural sometimes disturbing. Perhaps it is for this reason that I liked this film: it does not resemble a film. It is a dream which they introduce us apparently, in that they give the beginning but no end. No, the dream is perpetuated.Mary Gillain, whom I did not know, brings in "Magical" a favor, innocent to be unthinking. It is the incarnation of soul ready to devote itself entirely by love, of this prisoner soul, however, of a too big space, a too deep loneliness.Antoine Délury, finally, and all the others are simply magical as much by the role as they represent that by their interpretation. They make us all forget the hostilities of this world, in the space of one hour and a half. They make it us other one discover, than each hits in the heart. They comb us the world of brotherhood, of sincèrité, freedom and love. The world of dream all in all, the magical world Not only your film delighted me but it persuaded me on top of that of a thing: magic is everywhere where they want to see it, where they take the trouble to see it. No, there is only the naive teenagers as me who believe in it. It is for everybody. Magic it is love, or the opposite, and we have the right to it. The poem of your film proved it to me.To finish, I shall like to ask you to thank the actors of the film sincerely for me. And in special note for you: I shall like that my texts have one day the same magic as your's. Congratulations!Go on, I ask you, to make about us so dream. Continue giving hope to those who are continuously on the point of losing it. Continue giving in sensitive souls force and creed in the better world. Thanks to "Magical", I am definitely persuaded of the goodness of the Men, still it is necessary to search it.
