I have yet to wathc it again to see how it fits together knowing the twist but if it's anything like memento it will probably stand up.<br />I really liked the scenes with Bale and his wife and the "Do you love me?" motif they kept repeating.<br /><br />I look forward to seeing whether Nolan can match the next decade as he was defintiely one of the best film-makers of the noughties.red snownoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-75144754880950752842010-01-21T13:25:56.677+00:002010-01-21T13:25:56.677+00:00Goddess knows I love me some Christian Bale, so I ...Goddess knows I love me some Christian Bale, so I was destined to love this movie, but I loved Chris Priest's novel just as much. I would highly recommend reading the novel even if you've already seen the film.

I understand you're point and I like how you put it although I didn't get the "obvious" twist right away, but you are awesome. :)<br /><br />I love the Prestige, probably because I will automatically love anything with Christian Bale (Equilibrium anyone?) and then add Nolan and you've got whatever's better than perfection.<br /><br />Bryce<br />seaks.blogspot.comBryce L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13951278240008332023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-85913502397116220192010-01-21T05:54:38.242+00:002010-01-21T05:54:38.242+00:00The Prestige is an enormously better film than its...The Prestige is an enormously better film than its contemporary, The Illusionist. Where the latter is basically an excuse for Norton and Giamatti to chew up scenery, the former actually keeps to the spooky story and themes. <br /><br />Jebus, reading your comment has annoyed me because you appear self-conscious enough to know better.

I know this sounds douchebaggish but I honestly couldn't understand how people didn't pick it straight away since... well it was just obvious. I knew nothing about the novel or the movie before going in to it. (I realise all that sounds like I'm a "oh I totally knew that" tosser but there's really no other way to say it is there? Apart from "it's not my fault I'm awesome" :) )<br /><br />Anyway, it was still a great ride.Jebushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00985667608602099242noreply@blogger.com
