The prestige

Tuesday, 21 April 2009

Every magic has three parts or acts namely the pledge, the turn and the prestige. The third part is hardest part of the magic and is the basic theme that the entire movie is based upon. Two young magicians, who work as apprentices to Cutter, first seem to be friends in the movie but they part and finally become rivals to each other. The movie shows high quality of competition between the two magicians, Robert Angier and Alfred Borden. As they part for their life, Alfred seems to reach the zenith of fame in a short span of time. “The transported man “is the reason for the success of Alfred Borden and Robert Angier tries all means to find out the trick which is involved in it. But all his works are in vain! Angier then finds himself the magic of “the real transported man” through the scientific brilliance as he approaches Nikola Telsa for his trick. Will he achieve the fame which his rival Borden has achieved?? The screenplay is awesome the makes the audience to have a close watch in every scene to find what really happens when the trick is performed. Starring Christian bale, Hugh jackman, Michael Caine the movie is directed by Christopher Nolan.
