Assignment 17 - Erin Caudill

Christopher Nolan movies are always some of my favorite movies, and The Prestige is definitely not an exception to that. While most people might be reluctant to follow through with watching the entire film due to it's confusing plot, I find every second riveting. It allows you to think through things yourself and you never know what exactly is going to happen next. Sure, it's a movie about magic and most people don't even give magic tricks a chance, but this movie has such a complicated plot that anyone can forget that the tricks presented in this movie are entirely possible. Christopher Nolan manages to keep crucial plot points a secret until the last few minutes, which leaves the audience wondering at the end if ever plot hole was filled in within those last few minutes. My only complaint is that I can't watch it again without knowing the ending and being mind blown over and over.
