Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (13 November 2017)

A masterpiece. Christopher Nolan's The Prestige is one of my all time favorites.
This film is about a rivalry between two magicians (Alfred and Robert). An incident happened earlier on in the film - which caused the two men to fall out. They then try to out do each other, bringing the other's career down in the process. Which is explaining the plot in the most basic form possible.
The Prestige has many unpredictable twists and turns that you will never see coming. The film can be a bit hard to follow at the start (as in whether some scenes are flashbacks or not). Luckily you manage to get the hang of it around half way through.
The end of this movie is brilliant, it leaves you silent after the credits, just thinking about the film as the credits roll. It is able to stay in your mind days after watching it. It likes to also leave behind some morals also - decent ones that aren't just shoehorned in for the sake of being preachy.
The Prestige is a modern masterpiece. It is intelligent and always keeps you hooked. If you enjoy a good drama and have good taste in movies in general, then you'd love it.
