The Prestige

This is one of the best, most compelling films of the year. Brilliant acted by a great cast of Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale, Michael Caine and Scarlett Johansson and outstandingly directed by Christopher Nolan, this film touches many emotions, creates a competitive format and enriches in all that is powerful in filmmaking. The film witnesses the story of two competitive magicians(Illusionists) who challenge each other's talents for the prestige of the audience. The story shows us the sacrifice that one (or two) needs to gain the Prestige of minds. This film works in so many contexts that it glorifies the act of filmmaking, while mystifying the world of illusion. This film should have gotten more "prestige" in this awards season. Christopher Nolan proves once again his great filmmaking. Hopefully, he will be honored soon.
