Summary of Christopher Nolan's works: A genius who combines outstanding authorship with megahits
5. “Prestige” (06) 128 minutes
A historical suspense film that has attracted attention for its shocking "punchline". Set in late 19th century London, England, it depicts the fierce battle between two magicians who hate each other. It stars Christian Bale from "Batman Begins" and Hugh Jackman, who became famous in the "X-Men" series. It has unintentionally become a DC x Marvel composition.
Angier (Jackman) captivates the masses with his grandiose performances, while Borden (Bale) toy with audiences with his intricate tricks. One day, Angier's wife dies in an accident during an escape trick from a fish tank. This leads to a bitter rivalry between the two. Then, a shocking incident occurs. Was it an accident or a trick?
The project, which Sam Mendes, the director of " American Beauty " (1999), was also interested in, revolves around a number of large-scale illusions. For director Nolan, who doesn't rely on CG but instead builds sets to project the "real thing" and "fools" the audience with a brilliant plot, a magician's story is one of his specialties. This film also proves that director Nolan, who has made many modern dramas, can also play with costumes.
Jackman's passionate performance of his open hatred and Bale's brilliant performance of his hidden intentions are also part of the "mechanism" that stirs the audience's hearts. Scarlett Johansson plays Angier's assistant, and David Bowie plays the scientist Nikola Tesla.
