The Prestige2006

A movie about cinema itself. Do we want to know the truth or do we actually enjoy being tricked? Maybe in this line of work it is better to only know the tricks and how they’re made if you’re going to use them as well.  Every line here is a clue about the truth of the story. So when it talks about magic, it talks about movies in general and the movie itself. It does meta in a sort of natural way. The discussions between the main two are incredibly interesting and become spectacular when framed in an actual dual of magicians seeing who can best the other.  Borden's idea of total devotion to the craft is so interesting, how it can be good to immerse yourself entirely into your work if the result isa proper work of art.
