i recommend The Illusionist that came out the same year as this. Fantastic movie that also has similar plot points thats just as good in my opinion.

2022-01-12 02:48:48 +0000 UTCCouldn’t agree more! “Memento” is definitely a film they’d sink their teeth into and keep guessing all the way to the end.

2022-01-10 23:36:21 +0000 UTCThe first time I watched it my mom came in and said, isn’t that Christian Bale when she saw Fallon. I was like…😦 well, I guess that’s the movie! But it STILL drew me in and blew me away. Such a great film, glad you both got to watch it.

2022-01-02 00:25:51 +0000 UTCAn amazing movie with an amazing reaction, awesome seeing it a second time, I'd recommend to ya guys. There's a few more mind benders of Nolans out there still worth watching......

They have completely different personalities and it's kinda funny how well Bale can act. He acts 2 different characters and you don't even know. Those Sarah scenes hit so much harder on the second watch when you realize one of them actually loved her. About there no being any "good" characters. You actually don't see that there is 3 main characters. Arguably one of the three main characters is actually good (the one that lives). This is easily my favorite movie of all time and most definitely majorly underrated (even though most people think it's great). Speaking of underrated, the most underrated movie in my opinion is "Lucky Number Slevin". It's not "The Prestige", but it's an amazing movie. I would love to see it in a poll one day.

2021-12-30 18:20:34 +0000 UTCOne of those movies that when you watch it a second time, the last plot twist they basically scream in your face the entire film. Its also so sad just how much Edison got in the way of Tesla. America praises Edison regardless of him being a thief and completely unethical.

2021-12-30 09:02:27 +0000 UTCGreat reaction - another of my favorite films. If you haven't watched it, Nolan's Memento is yet another of his brain-burner films!

2021-12-30 05:58:16 +0000 UTCTesla created the duplication machine specifically for Angier. Tesla didn't even know it duplicated things at first.

2021-12-30 04:36:22 +0000 UTCThey never said Alfred's wife was murdered. They were saying Alfred killed Angier's wife because he used the Langford Double knot and she couldn't undo it and drowned. Also I've seen this movie a few times and I don't think there's any evidence that Fallon was a duplicate. Tesla literally says he never made a machine for Borden. They really were just twins and were dedicated to the illusion for the majority of their lives

2021-12-29 19:18:16 +0000 UTCthis movie employs two actors that cut to my 90s tv heart. Daniel Davis and Edward Hibbert. if you know the two shows they guested in then your parents let you watch them before bed. those two dudes give me that visceral feeling that theres school tomorrow.

2021-12-29 18:36:06 +0000 UTCGreat movie!! You guys kept up for most part. 2 things. Alfreds wife killed herself she wasn't murdered and Fallon was a clone actually Alfred only duplicated once and they shared the prestige. Angier wanted it all himself that's why he killed all the clones. Awesome movie. Watching again you do pick up on all the signs. Loved it!!

2021-12-29 18:29:09 +0000 UTCThe old magician on stage at around 14 min mark is Ricky Jay, one of the most famous card tricksters in the world. Check out his show back in the 80s, called "Ricky Jay and his 52 Assistants" - he has a real knack for story-telling as well, it really is worth a watch https://youtu.be/z7InE1zXAY4

2021-12-29 17:01:35 +0000 UTCSimply put, this film is absolutely brilliant. Its such a bizarre, mind blowing story with so many plot twists. It also touched on many themes such as obsession, sacrifice, and dedication. My jaw was on the floor watching this for the first time. Interstellar will always be my favorite because of its emotion and inspiration, but I think the Prestige might be Nolan's best work.
