The Prestige - Film Analysis

I was utterly confused by this film but I loved every moment of it...


The Prestige

- The storyline is completely original and keeps you interested and on the edge of your seat right up until the last scene. It's pretty incredible and although the actual storyline and final result of the story is unclear, the narrative is very intriguing as it darts back and forth in time - interestingly a subject that's parallel to the actual story.

- The characters are well drawn and interesting with hidden layers and complex personalities that the audience can both relate to and enjoy watch as they go about in the film. It's a story full of magic and mystery but is at heart a brilliant thriller film that keeps you guessing, and even when it's finished, you still think and wonder about what actually prevailed.

-The Prestige is directed by Christopher Nolan who is famous for his thriller films and adaptions such as Momento, Batman trilogy, Inception and Insomnia. It also stars well known actors who appear in other thrillers such as Christian Bale (who played psychopath serial killer Patrick Bateman in American Psycho)
