Review of The Prestige (2006) by Yasemin Y — 20 Jun 2017
10/10.
Inception or Prestige is my favorite movie of all time. Amazing reveal at the end.
Spoilers.
Fallon and Alfred are twins who switch. It makes sense this is why hes in love with both Olivia and Sarah and it only sounds genuiene on some days when Alfred tells Sarah he loves him. Its because sometimes its the alfred who truley loves him and sometimes its not. Clues are left behind throught the movie and the reveal is not just pulled out of nolans ass. The reveal with robert was also great. Both revavels gave me chills. I just made a voice note for 10 minutes talking about this movie. The robert trick with the water tank is essentially the same as the double bird trick which is just SO CLEVER. The whole reveal is closley related to the old guys explenation of the three stages of a magic trick where he employs the use of the word prestige. The rivalry between the Alfred and Robert is so good. So much suspense when they mess up each others plays. When alfred tricks Root Roberts double to play along with him and Alfred sabatages Roberts preformance. Robert shooting Alfred in the hand. Alfred killing the dove and sabotagging Robertd play. The love tria gle between Alfred, Robert and Olivia. The sense of loos that Robert and Alfred have for their wifes deaths and THE AMAZING NON LINEAR STORY TELLING THAT KEEPS YOU PAYING ATTENTION FIRST MAKING YOU THINK THAT ALFRED KILLED ROBERT THEN YOU SEE AT THE END THAT ROBERT KILLED HIMSELF. GOD THIS MOVIE IS A MASTERPEICE.
