The Prestige

The audience knows the truth: The world is simple, miserable, solid all the way through. But if you can fool them, even for a second... then you can make them wonder.

Year: 2006
Director:
Christopher Nolan
Writer: Jonathan Nolan, Christopher Nolan, Christopher Priest
Starring: Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Piper Perabo, Rebecca Hall,  Scarlett Johansson, Samantha Mahurin, David Bowie, Andy Serkis,  Daniel Davis, Jim Piddock

What is this about: Story is about two 19th-century magicians who are obsessed about their job and being better than the other one.


Content warnings: Violence (not too brutal).
Best about it: Very well carried plot with perfect amount of plot twists and partly non-chronological scenes. I also loved how it was shown that other aspects of life are neglected when the passion becomes obsession and  it's too powerful. 
How did I felt: Interested, entertained, focused
Goodness: 5/5
Weirdness: 3/5
