One of my favorite movies of all time! Just gets your mind thinking and the way its told is so entertaining. Still underrated in my opinion

This movie is known for having the best trailer. It gives absolutely nothing away, and it tricks you into thinking it’s a completely different movie before watching it.

Definitely. Like the way Borden spots the Chinese Magician's secret immediately. He can see it because he's made the sacrifice already and knows to think in that way.

This is what you get when you trust a truly great director with his vision.

David Bowie was such a perfect casting choice for Nikola Tesla.

The Prestige is pure cinema. The first time I watched it in 2010 made me fall in love with movies. Its gotta be my favorite Nolan movie barley edging out Interstellar.

I just watched The Prestige for the first time a month ago and i was blown away.

One of my favorite movies- a fantastic experience! When I saw it first time at the theater, we sat stunned at the end & immediately bought tickets to watch it again. It is a masterpiece!

Love this film! Batman and Wolverine going at it? ABSOLUTELY! Never watched The Illusionist mainly because of this movie lol.

This is literally my favorite movie of all time, all time.

The bitter rivalry that ignites between two long friends was what kept me glued to the seat the entire runtime. At some point it became less about the magic and more about the heinous things they could do to each other. ⚔ I can vividly recall the gun scene, when Borden realizes he's staring down a loaded gun. It was such a powerful moment for me.

Best scene is when Angier is bowing under the stage.

What may people get wrong is that or miss is that Lord Caldlow isn't Robert Angier's alias. Robert Angier is Lord Caldlow's alias. Angier's wife stated to Robert that he was playing someone else, where he replied that he would not embarrass his family with his theatrical endeavours. He is also independently wealthy, and stated to Tesla for making his machine that "Price is not an object." At the end of the film, Robert Angier revealed his true identity with his true accent. An English lord from the prestigious Caldlow family. BORDEN: _"You must be Lord Cal..."_ ANGIER: _"'Caldlow.' Yes, I am. I always have been."_

Yes, this. People who review this movie nearly always miss the fact that Jackman is not playing Robert Angier. Angier is a as made up as The Professor. Lord Cadlow won the rivalry fair and square if you ask me. Borden: -Killed Caldlow’s wife -Shot his own brother -Broke Caldlow’s leg -Killed his own brother by not revealing he was a twin -Murdered Caldlow.

Too bad he kinda a hack

Such a great film. The way the movie is basically one big magic trick. The fact that you spend the whole movie trying to figure out how he does The Transported Man and you cant wait to have your mind blown but at the end like every magic trick once you find out how it's done you're a bit underwhelmed because it's never as amazing as your imagination thought it would be, it's usually pretty simple. But Nolan makes the twin reveal special with one scene. The scene where they have to cut one of the twins fingers off. That made the movie for me and it was literally a five second clip. And like all great twists you watch it again and it was staring you in the face the entire time. There are like 10 winks to the audience that Borden and Albert are twins throughout the movie. Like Michael Caine said when he described a magic trick at the start and repeats at the end to remind you "You weren't really looking, you want to be fooled."

@JoJoJoker

What many also forget is the third trick. Lord Caldlow - he did an even better job of hiding his identity than the Borden twins.

The “Illusionist” coming out at about the same time was one of the issues.

One of the cleverest and most brilliant movies of the last 20 years. I'm usually quite "meh" about plot twists and reveals that have become a box-ticking exercise in most modern productions, but omg the twists in this story are mind bendingly brilliant. It is quite possible that this movie is one of those rare "perfect" movies - it's storytelling, characterisation and technical aspects are so good it's inconceivable that it can be improved in any way.

Dope vid. May be my fave nolan flick. And its nolan. All He makes are gems

Truly Nolands finest work.

Thanks for this video. I love this movie - probably one of my favorites of the 2000s.

This movie is a masterpiece. The story and script are tightly woven in many layers. Nolan’s best film.

Favorite Nolan movie. No contest.

Nolan is my favorite director working today. And The Prestige is for me his best film.

Love this film. Watched it on a plane first time around. The penny dropped when it came to Hugh Jackman's "big trick" about 10 minutes before it's revealed and I jumped out of my seat out of shock and joy. One of my treasured movie moments. :-)

What I love the most about his films is how the audio mixing makes it hard to understand what they're saying at times

I love this film. The twist blew my mind with almost the same level as his other great film Memento.

Watched it for the first time last night. Truly amazing maybe the best movie ever

The rivalry between Alfred Borden and Lord Caldlow is one of the greatest films of all time. That’s what happened to The Prestige.

11:13 The "pledge", "turn" and "prestige" are not the structure of "a genuine magic act". That was all invented by Christopher Priest. The movie did follow Priest's imagined magic act structure very well.

Fantastic film. Brilliant. Riveting from start to finish.

Yup my favorite Nolan movie.

I would kill for more of David Bowie's Tesla. The fact that he own's every scene and is no longer available in this form is wholeheartedly sad.

easily Nolans best film

One of Christopher Nolan most underrated movies

and imho arguably his best. he only went downhill after the batman trilogy who was already so so if you take away Ledger's role of his life performance. his the most overhyped director in the history of cinema.

First time seeing this movie was as a teenager on a cruise and I got hooked and watched it every night that week 🤣

If this movie had avoided the sci-fi magic elements in favour of real magician fakery, I think this movie would carry more weight. It didn't need it. I was hooked. But cloning kinda burst the bubble imho

Scoop also stars Hugh Jackman and Scarlett Johansson. Didn’t know they came out the same time.

Minor masterpiece, this is one of my favorite movies. Everytime I watch it I see something I didn't before

such a perfect movie

My favorite Nolan film.

A movie that deserves a 2nd and 3rd...maybe 4th viewing.

To this day, I cannot hear the name "Tesla" without thinking about David Bowie.

Easily my favorite Nolan film.

Magnificent movie, Nolan's best!

The most complex and complete movie ever made, also most likely true x

A film made only 17 years ago, yet we get nearly nothing like this today from anyone except Nolan. Everything has to be a big budget CGI fest of known characters. We need more unique, mid-budget movies brought back.

I loved this movie. I own it. But i was really upset that the little birds were being killed😢. I also own the Illusionist and love that movie too. Imo its a very different feel and a love story.

It was great.

I really enjoyed that movie 🎥❤❤❤

I wouldn't call it minor.

If Hugh Jackman's double is transported into the water tank to be killed... then how is he getting off the stage to reappear elsewhere in the theater? .... The best idea he can think of for this incredible technology is a homicidal magic trick?

Not just my favorite movie, this is Nolan's true masterpiece, and his best work, before he was corrupted by the Hollywood machine. BEST NOLAN MOVIE, PERIOD.

It's really not a great movie. Besides doing magic tricks in a movie just doesn't work like in person.

tremdous movie

Maybe Nolan's best movie!

Am I the only one who suspects that the whole "cloning" premise of this film was a misdirection and didn't actually happen? The only time the film shows it happening was through the narration of Angiers journal. My thought is that he could have been lying to throw Alfred off the scent. The real trick was that he was killing men who looked like him over and over. This makes more sense to me than a sci-fi element.

Once Wolverine had a duplicate of himself, there was no need to keep using the machine as his duplicate could just be waiting in the audience. Killing the duplicate each time was just silly.

My favorite Nolan film - with the possible exception being the Dark Knight. Occasionally. When I picture Nikola Tesla in my mind I only cab see David Bowie after seeing this film the very first time.
