The Prestige
What a story! All the little twists and turns are incredible all the way up to the crazy ending. The two characters are so interesting and played so well by Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale. Looking into this film afterwards, I love the idea of the parallels between Robert and Alfred's lives. So how Alfred splits one life into two men while Robert makes one life into many men. What's most brutal for me is the physical pain they go through to keep their secrets alive. Alfred's brother has to amputate his the same fingers as Alfred while Robert drowns one of himself every night. What's worse is he doesn't know if he will be the one drowning or not. The irony at the end is pretty mental to, how Robert spent a fortune and 2 years of his life trying to figure out Alfred's trick which he believed was extremely complex. Then it turns out it was actually incredibly simple minus the whole one life sharing thing. Plus all the obsession they have for each other is crazy. I have to say though I think Robert deserved what he got. I mean I just absolutely love the plot and writing in this film, so amazing.
