One of the best

A blog about a blog ...how does that sound..does it remind u of something similar..dream within a dream..Naah.... u wanna say cut the crap..Anyways i did get to c one of the most touted films of this era, and I did like it. However , you can appreciate a movie or for that matter any thing only as long as u do not experience something which is even better. I for one did the cardinal sin of watching the brillant "The Prestige" and "Inception" on the same day. And the result was that even though I liked Inception i ended up comparing it to "The Prestige" which would be unfair on the director,simple because the former is a concept of the director out of which he has made out a complete movie while the latter is an adaptation of a fantastic novel.So actually Chris and John had a lot of stuff to play with when they made "The Prestige" ..But as a viewer I tend to treat them as two movies ..thats it ..it doesnt matter where the inspiration came from..And there is where "The Prestige" wins it..I mean from the dialogues of the film, the screenplay , the emotions that the director has been able to eke out of Bale and Jackman is absolutely mesmerizing..A lot of people were critical of the Tesla angle and the sci-fi twist that was added..but again as it can be shown that there was no machine at all and Angier was merely using Root to play his trick..The ending is truly spellbinding when Caine closes it by saying
"Now you are looking for the secret, But u wont find it
Coz ofcourse ur not really looking, You dont really want to know
U want to be fooled"
