I rewatched The Prestige for the first time as an impressionable teenager and thought it was a really cool premise for a movie. I re-watched it again many years later to understand the nuances of the movie. The movie is so well written within its own theme. The pledge, the turn and the prestige. The breadcrumbs you see strewn throughout the movie to guide you to a climax you know is coming. I'd imagine a magician's trick is dear to him or her and revealing it ruins the mystique. But Nolan's direction with this movie makes know the final reveal a lot more satisfying. It allowed me to look for the change in dialogue, the misdirections and the visceral satisfaction that comes from oneupsmanship and what happens when it's taken too far.Are you looking closely? via /r/movies https://ift.tt/323nOcD
