Magic (1978) Escena,Corky & Fats (subtitulado)

Corky (Anthony Hopkins) es un mago de naipes sin éxito que se presenta en bares de aficionados. Todo cambia cuando incorpora a su show al muñeco Fats, quien desborda personalidad e ingenio sorprendentes, transformando su número en todo un espectáculo. Su representante lo invita a participar en un programa televisivo que lo consagrará definitivamente, pero como el contrato exige que el artista se realice exámenes médicos previos y Corky no está dispuesto a pasar por ellos, discute con él, que cree que tiene miedo al éxito, y huye con su muñeco a un camping desolado, donde revive un antiguo amor con la dueña del mismo, hoy casada. Allí lo encuentra su representante y empieza a manifestarse el verdadero conflicto que intentaba disimular Corky: que la personalidad del muñeco Fats se ha apoderado de la de su ventrílocuo y lo ha transformado en un instrumento de su mente desquiciada.

Hopkins is almost borderline insane. You have to be to perform on that level. Or was this just practice for a bigger role down the line, namely Lector. This film has a great film score by the late Jerry Goldsmith, and also some incredible mood lighting by Victor J Kemperer.

This performance is far better than that of Lecter.

It’s almost ridiculous how much top-tier talent went into an “evil ventriloquist’s dummy” picture.

Wow, Anthony Hopkins was young once.

I was 11 years old when this came out and it terrified me every night for over a year I'm ashamed to admit. Scariest movie of all time for me. I'm 53 and it still gets under my skin

[@bottlewaddle6677]

nothing to be ashamed of

[@adambenedict6155]

Vince, I would say this is in the top 5 horror films of the 1970s - Exorcist and Salem’s Lot right in there too.

Masterful performance from Hopkins. A superb depiction of a neurotic individuals descent into
full blown psychosis.

If this is all in his mind how is it that once he put fat down fat were still able to look around the room ?

[@black_rabbit_0f_inle805]

Its magic

[@joshclark389]

It was a technical mistake that the once the scene was over and cuts to Anthony Hopkins standing before the ventriloquist that made and operates Fats in this movie knealing or hunched over operating him in this scene realized it in the dailies the following day and told The director (Richard Attenborough) that it was a slip and wouldn't make sense in how Fats been presented through out, but Attenborough kept it in and it's the only scene that stands out in a neat creative choice.

[@fynnthefox9078]

We're seeing it through Corky's fractured perspective. He's losing control.

[@Little-Larry777]

@@fynnthefox9078 that's how I saw it. Corky thinks Fats is moving w/o him, but it's just in Corky's head.

I’m surprised how much this still had an impact on me. I was skeptical because of how old it is even with Anthony Hopkins involved I didn’t think it can touch a nerve but my god it did and I’m so glad for it. Definitely an underrated classic.

[@SamuelBlack84]

I once had a nightnare about a ventriloquist dummy when I was tiny
A set of bunk beds were in the middle of a white void and sat in the bottom bunk was a man while in the epper bunk was sat a dummy who was reading the man a story
"Did you enjoy that?" He said. "Was it nice?"
Then, the dummy climbed down to the man and ate him

Everyone says fats is not real 😬 and that you are just messing with us, really are you sure 😳 a true masterpiece

[@Anonymous-qg9xx]

At :24 seconds, is someone hiding behind a hole in the couch putting their hand through the hole operating Fats"s eyes??? Tony/Corky is obviously not controlling his eyes to move....must be someone behind the coach putting their hand through a hole in the coach to operate Fats from behind....

[@franzhaas5597]

The director commentary said that when Anthony Hopkins put down the puppet. It just so happened by accident that the puppet eyes moved. They kept it in the film because they thought it made the film creepier.

[@TylerD288]

Not, Fat's the dummy is actually alive and living at the back of your closet.
