The Prestige

I saw this for the first time when I was about 11-12 years old and it’s one of the movies that made me fall in love with the medium. I remember looking over at my family with my jaw open when it ended and being like, “can we watch that again right now?”.  I watched an old dvd copy, maybe a first issue, and it doesn’t look that great. I need to upgrade my disc (oh no! 😏).  I think this movie is probably a lot more influential than the credit its given. I also think this is probably the movie that leveled up Chris Nolan from “interesting” to “master” filmmaker.  This one will always be special to me and, god, I just love the atmosphere. I want to spend some time in one of those seedy theaters watching people make a magic show. Or having cocktails before seeing what Tesla is building in Colorado Springs.  ✨abracadabra✨
