The Prestige

Director: Christopher Nolan
(2006)

"Obsession is a young man's game!" I totally agree!
The Prestige is an outstanding movie with marvelous acting! And its yet another Scarlett Johansson film! I don't know why she's my favorite but she is. =)
I want to watch this film over and over again. I've only seen it twice though due to lack of time but its amazing! And the twist at the end is completely unexpected! That is what I love about the film, it is incredibly unpredictable and there is a surprise at every single turn that keeps you wrapped up in the story line until the very end and at the very least what woman would be able to restrain herself from gawking at actors like Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman.

There is no way that you can sympathize with either of the two magicians because of the fateful game that they played with each other. They let their ruthless obsessions with magic and trumping each other ruin thier lives and the lives of the people around them as well. I hate that such unadulterated ambition took them to the places that it did because usually people expect ambition to be a good quality but I suppose there is as thin a line between ambition and obsession as there is between love and hate.

I'm surprised that I am so impressed with this film as I'm not usually a fan of period pieces because they are scarcely done well but I felt just as great if not better about this film than I did about Girl With a Pearl Earring (yes, yet ANOTHER Scarlett film). The Prestige is sensational.
See it NOW! That is all.
