The Prestige
One of the chief aspects of The Prestige is, well, the prestige - the point in the magic show where the magician shows the audience something they’ve never seen before. And, as Alfred Borden (Christian Bale) warns, a good magician should never reveal his secrets, for without his secrets he is nothing. And yet the best part of this show - just as in Memento, the first film written by the Nolan brothers - is the revelation of all its secrets, the part where the audience figures out how everything is pieced together…
A full review will follow when I have the time, but just wanted to note that this was a great film, some fine, solid acting by Hugh Jackman (one does feel sorry for his character in the end) and Christian Bale…
