The Prestige directed by Christopher Nolan is crack

[kdawg]

It was one of those movies that I didn't know anything about and just saw with no preconceptions at all.

I thought it was great. I've watched it a couple of times since on DVD and it's still enjoyable.

When Bale's character is speaking to his future wife's nephew - the first time he meets her - He says "The secret impresses no one. The trick you use it for is everything."

What was the number one complaint about this movie? The ending. Everything leading up to it was so spectacular, so excellently crafted and expertly calculated, that in comparison, the resolution was a complete copout.

The secret may have been a let down, but it was one of the best tricks I've ever witnessed.

this guy gets it.

this guy does not.
