The Prestige

This film was very good. It's nonlinear plot added a lot of interest and added to the thrill of the prestige being revealed at the end. The repetition of the three steps of a magic trick, the pledge, the turn, and the prestige, set a theme throughout the film which keep the audience focused in on trying to figure out the prestige of the movie. Of course as the movie says though, the audience is not really looking, they want to be deceived. However when the trick is learned then the overwhelming amount of foreshadowing in the movie suddenly becomes meaningful. Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman portrayed their characters very well. The costumes were also well done. Overall it was a beautifully made film.
