so yesterday i watched the film "the Prestige" coincidentally.
its strange that i never heard from this movie although i watch a lot of movies and since Memento i admire Christopher Nolan for his work.

the film is absolutely amazing. hugh jackman, christian bale, scarlet johansson,.... all actors did a very good job.

the story is brilliant. there are so many turnarounds. Bale and Jackman have a battle for worlds best magician and the leader is always changing( i dont want to say more or how the film is ending because there are people who havent seen movie yet and still want to see it)

i also find Nicola Tesla's role in the film interesting and that what he's doing in the film is not that far away from reality if you know something about quantum physics.

so what do you guys think about this film it's certainly in my top25 like memento and the dark knight who are aslo movies from christopher nolan.

i prefer the illusionist.

i prefer dr. strangelove or: how i learned to stop worrying and love the bomb.

the prestige is really cool.

I like the way they dispel the "myth" (or whatever) of magic very early in the movie and they focus on how its more about performance and illusion.

I think i might have to rewatch it

best movie of 06

Loved it. Destroys The Illusionist.

this movie is definitely my favorite movie of all time

both Prestige and Illusionist were awesome in their own rights

this. the illusionist is more like the little brother

the more i think about it, it is definetely one of the best 10 movies i ever seen !

Prestige got kinda weird at the end. Illusionist was a tighter movie as far as plot goes.

Tesla Trivia:
Tesla left the USA and designed spy devices for Russia during the cold war. He built a passive transmitter that was placed in the meeting room in the US Embassy at Moscow. It took the CIA years to find the transmitter. It was embedded in a wooden sculpture of the US Seal presented to the American Ambassador by the Russian Boy Scouts.

Since it was a passive tuning fork it required no electricity and only reflected the room's sounds when hit by a wave from a building across the street. Genius.

prestige was great. I don't know how it gets in the top 25...along with the Dark Knight? lol wat

But it was real good no doubt.

I thought The Prestige was great, and was even a little suprised that it only received 75% on RT.

SPOILER: I usually pick up on suprise endings before it actually happens in the movie, but I was completely suprised when finding out it was his twin brother.

With that said, David Bowie is a pimp.



Jennifer Connolly ftw!!!

I also prefer the illusionist

I feel like I agree with you on topics such as these more than any other poster, and this is no exception.

This has to be a level?
