TheManWithoutFear
#1 reason not to join UC
I never want to see another film again.
That is all....
....I think I'll give up comic books too.
Ok, I'm done.
The reason I'm holding the film in such high regard...
Some of you might remember my *****ing about The Departed. About lame shock value twists. Well the Prestige has one. And it's totally obvious. But it had something else to it. You know who Borden's double is. Then when you see Tesla's machine you understand more and then you think, "Man, this is kind of goofy." Then you think about The clone saga... but you sit through it...
What impressed me was the character development. You see Angier as the good guy because he's tragic and he's likeable. And Bale plays this wonderful Jackass who isn't likeable. And it's apparent whose likeable and not through their stage presence too. Anyway let's just cut to the chase. When you figure it all out you're still left thinking what does Angier do with the doubles? Then when all the revealations are made you realize he doesn't do jack **** with them he just continuously sacrifices a life everytime he does the trick. And the twist suddenly isn't goofy, OMFY#&*(&GOD!!!, what a twist. It's scary. It's like Man, that cat is ****ed up! And not in the good way.
Anyway props to the actors and actresses (I don't think Scarlett's that hott) but especially Christian Bale. He's the ****.
5/5
