The Prestige Review

The Prestige is such an extraordinary movie of 2006. Here Christian Bale plays Alfred Borden, Hugh Jackman plays Robert Angier, and Michael Caine plays John Cutter. Scarlett Johansson played Olivia Wenscombe. The plot and storyline were amazing. There were two magicians who were friends, but after an incident, they became enemies. One of them gained real magic, and the other obviously played tricks to create magic. It is so good to watch. The cinematography of this movie was wholly epic. The best part of the movie is the climax, which keeps you on your toes till the very end. The climax is not an ordinary climax. I don't want to give spoilers, which is why I cannot write about the climax, but one should watch this movie if they love magic. I can say just one word to make you super excited to watch this movie, and that is 'Christopher Nolan'. Now will go and watch it.

TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Chung Ling Soo was a stage character created by William Ellsworth Robinson, a white man who disguised himself as a Chinese man to cash in on audiences' enthusiasm for the exotic. Robinson lived as Chung, never breaking character while in public. He died in March 1918, when a bullet-catch trick went wrong. "My God, I've been shot" were both his last words and the first English he had spoken on stage in nineteen years.

The word "prestige" originally meant a trick, from the Latin "praestigium", meaning "illusion".

Nikola Tesla was a world-renowned inventor, physicist, and engineer. For a while, he conducted electrical experiments at his lab in Colorado Springs, where he was also known for his eccentric behavior.

The editing includes one hundred forty-six time jump cuts, in which the next shot either flashes back or skips ahead to another time period of the storyline. This averages to almost one timeline jump per minute of movie.

Alfred Borden's infant was played by one of writer, producer, and director Christopher Nolan's children.

Popular Dialogues

"Cutter: Every great magic trick consists of three parts or acts. The first part is called "The Pledge". The magician shows you something ordinary: a deck of cards, a bird or a man. He shows you this object. Perhaps he asks you to inspect it to see if it is indeed real, unaltered, normal. But of course... it probably isn't. The second act is called "The Turn". The magician takes the ordinary something and makes it do something extraordinary. Now you're looking for the secret... but you won't find it, because of course you're not really looking. You don't really want to know. You want to be fooled. But you wouldn't clap yet. Because making something disappear isn't enough; you have to bring it back. That's why every magic trick has a third act, the hardest part, the part we call "The Prestige".""

"Officer: Do you have anything to say? Alfred Borden: Abracadabra."
