- Are you watching closely?
Christopher Nolan’s THE PRESTIGE tends to fall between the stage boards when it comes to the director’s oeuvre. It’s not as blockbuster as his BATMAN trilogy or as trippy as INCEPTION but it no doubt stands as one of his finest achievements: narratively, technically and, yes, magically. And it took years to get to the screen. Distracted and delayed off and on since the days of MEMENTO, THE PRESTIGE would end up a feat that stands alone-ironically enough when you think about it…-in Christopher Nolan’s filmography.
But this is just the Pledge. So how did Christopher Nolan turn THE PRESTIGE into a minor masterpiece? How did he pull the rabbit out of the hat? Let’s find out: WTF Happened to this movie?!

One of my favorite movies of all time! Just gets your mind thinking and the way its told is so entertaining. Still underrated in my opinion
This movie is known for having the best trailer. It gives absolutely nothing away, and it tricks you into thinking it’s a completely different movie before watching it.

That’s fraudulent marketing
This is my favorite Nolan movie. It gets better on every viewing also. All the little clues and signs you notice once you know where the story goes. Amazing!
Definitely. Like the way Borden spots the Chinese Magician's secret immediately. He can see it because he's made the sacrifice already and knows to think in that way.
David Bowie was such a perfect casting choice for Nikola Tesla.
It was the only time that Nolan actually begged someone for a role.
Casting Englishman as Yugoslavian isn't perfect but it kinda works because of Bowies weirdness
@@antunspaleta2221that is precisely what makes it so good. I actually didnt expect it to work. Hahaha. But yeah... Bowie can pull it off.
This is what you get when you trust a truly great director with his vision.
The Prestige is pure cinema. The first time I watched it in 2010 made me fall in love with movies. Its gotta be my favorite Nolan movie barley edging out Interstellar.
I just watched The Prestige for the first time a month ago and i was blown away.
One of my favorite movies- a fantastic experience! When I saw it first time at the theater, we sat stunned at the end & immediately bought tickets to watch it again. It is a masterpiece!
Hollywood needs filmmakers like Nolan more than ever
If only he would stick to original scripts instead of dull, tedious historical BS...
@@Axolotl_Mischief Oppenheimer was really good (of course if biopics aren’t your thing fair enough) but Tenet, an original script of his, is his worst movie. It’s not simply a matter of sticking to one thing over another, it’s do a good job writing it whatever “it” is.
The rumor is that Nolan might be directing new Bond movie. I sure hope so that rumor turn out to be true. Guy can make good movie alright.
@@losrajvosa0078 but Amazon owns MGM now
So I don't think he'll do a movie that'll go straight to streaming
That's what made him cut ties with WB
Too bad he kinda a hack
What may people get wrong is that or miss is that Lord Caldlow isn't Robert Angier's alias. Robert Angier is Lord Caldlow's alias. Angier's wife stated to Robert that he was playing someone else, where he replied that he would not embarrass his family with his theatrical endeavours. He is also independently wealthy, and stated to Tesla for making his machine that "Price is not an object."
At the end of the film, Robert Angier revealed his true identity with his true accent. An English lord from the prestigious Caldlow family.
BORDEN: _"You must be Lord Cal..."_
ANGIER: _"'Caldlow.' Yes, I am. I always have been."_
Yes, this. People who review this movie nearly always miss the fact that Jackman is not playing Robert Angier. Angier is a as made up as The Professor. Lord Cadlow won the rivalry fair and square if you ask me. Borden:
-Killed Caldlow’s wife
-Shot his own brother
-Broke Caldlow’s leg
-Killed his own brother by not revealing he was a twin
-Murdered Caldlow.
@@JoJoJoker Angier won.
He created the best trick. He sacrificed the most.
Borden just did it for the money.
@@yellowflash7696 Lord Caldlow won fair and square....he even had the best alter ego. Right down to his accent.
This is literally my favorite movie of all time, all time.
The bitter rivalry that ignites between two long friends was what kept me glued to the seat the entire runtime. At some point it became less about the magic and more about the heinous things they could do to each other. ⚔
I can vividly recall the gun scene, when Borden realizes he's staring down a loaded gun. It was such a powerful moment for me.
Best scene is when Angier is bowing under the stage.
One of the cleverest and most brilliant movies of the last 20 years. I'm usually quite "meh" about plot twists and reveals that have become a box-ticking exercise in most modern productions, but omg the twists in this story are mind bendingly brilliant.
It is quite possible that this movie is one of those rare "perfect" movies - it's storytelling, characterisation and technical aspects are so good it's inconceivable that it can be improved in any way.
The Prestige & LA Confidential. Two perfect films.
Easily my favorite Nolan film and in my top 15 best films. I can't fault it, it is a perfect film.
Absolutely love Bowie as Tesla , a very interesting choice.
Love this film! Batman and Wolverine going at it? ABSOLUTELY! Never watched The Illusionist mainly because of this movie lol.
The “Illusionist” coming out at about the same time was one of the issues.
I've seen both and this smokes the Illusionist hands down.
Such a great film. The way the movie is basically one big magic trick. The fact that you spend the whole movie trying to figure out how he does The Transported Man and you cant wait to have your mind blown but at the end like every magic trick once you find out how it's done you're a bit underwhelmed because it's never as amazing as your imagination thought it would be, it's usually pretty simple. But Nolan makes the twin reveal special with one scene. The scene where they have to cut one of the twins fingers off. That made the movie for me and it was literally a five second clip. And like all great twists you watch it again and it was staring you in the face the entire time. There are like 10 winks to the audience that Borden and Albert are twins throughout the movie. Like Michael Caine said when he described a magic trick at the start and repeats at the end to remind you "You weren't really looking, you want to be fooled."
What many also forget is the third trick. Lord Caldlow - he did an even better job of hiding his identity than the Borden twins.
One of my favorite movies ever made. And in my top 3 Christopher Nolan films
Without watching the video. I’m gunna just say that this movie was absolute gold a must watch
Dope vid. May be my fave nolan flick. And its nolan. All He makes are gems
One of my favorite Nolan movie
This movie is a masterpiece. The story and script are tightly woven in many layers. Nolan’s best film.
Truly Nolands finest work.
Favorite Nolan movie. No contest.
I love this film. The twist blew my mind with almost the same level as his other great film Memento.
Thanks for this video. I love this movie - probably one of my favorites of the 2000s.
The rivalry between Alfred Borden and Lord Caldlow is one of the greatest films of all time. That’s what happened to The Prestige.
Nolan is my favorite director working today. And The Prestige is for me his best film.
One of Christopher Nolan most underrated movies
and imho arguably his best. he only went downhill after the batman trilogy who was already so so if you take away Ledger's role of his life performance.
his the most overhyped director in the history of cinema.
Love this film. Watched it on a plane first time around. The penny dropped when it came to Hugh Jackman's "big trick" about 10 minutes before it's revealed and I jumped out of my seat out of shock and joy. One of my treasured movie moments. :-)
What I love the most about his films is how the audio mixing makes it hard to understand what they're saying at times
Easily my favorite Nolan film.
Fantastic film. Brilliant. Riveting from start to finish.
Watched it for the first time last night. Truly amazing maybe the best movie ever
If this movie had avoided the sci-fi magic elements in favour of real magician fakery, I think this movie would carry more weight. It didn't need it. I was hooked. But cloning kinda burst the bubble imho
A film made only 17 years ago, yet we get nearly nothing like this today from anyone except Nolan. Everything has to be a big budget CGI fest of known characters. We need more unique, mid-budget movies brought back.
I would kill for more of David Bowie's Tesla. The fact that he own's every scene and is no longer available in this form is wholeheartedly sad.
First time seeing this movie was as a teenager on a cruise and I got hooked and watched it every night that week 🤣
easily Nolans best film
Minor masterpiece, this is one of my favorite movies. Everytime I watch it I see something I didn't before
such a perfect movie
Yup my favorite Nolan movie.
11:13 The "pledge", "turn" and "prestige" are not the structure of "a genuine magic act". That was all invented by Christopher Priest. The movie did follow Priest's imagined magic act structure very well.
A movie that deserves a 2nd and 3rd...maybe 4th viewing.
My favorite Nolan film.
Loved this movie.
To this day, I cannot hear the name "Tesla" without thinking about David Bowie.
Scoop also stars Hugh Jackman and Scarlett Johansson. Didn’t know they came out the same time.
Still my favorite movie of all time.
Magnificent movie, Nolan's best!
One of the few movies I've ever watched twice in a row just to understand the whole thing (as well as WTF Christian Bale was saying, as it was the first time I saw him talk with an accent, lol). Stayed up all night lol.
Funny thing is his accent in this movie is very close to his real accent. He's so good at American dialect it's hard to believe he's British!
Well what does he say before being hung? I can’t hear it at all and it doesn’t CC :(
@@Murphys00 Abra Cadabra. I watched it with the closed captioning on during the second viewing.
@@Murphys00He says "Abracadabra."
I adore this movie!
A movie people forget Chris Nolan made, compared to films like Memento, the Dark Knight trilogy, and Inception
I loved this movie. I own it. But i was really upset that the little birds were being killed😢.
I also own the Illusionist and love that movie too. Imo its a very different feel and a love story.
I love this movie
I really enjoyed that movie 🎥❤❤❤
What if Wolverine and Batman compete against each other using Magic?
A great movie 😁
I love this movie. It's my favourite, non-Batman, Nolan movie.
It was great.
his best movie imo
I love this movie. Once you know how it ends watching it over again gets even more fun.
I want to say Interstellar is Nolan's best film but I can't because he made The Prestige.
If Hugh Jackman's double is transported into the water tank to be killed... then how is he getting off the stage to reappear elsewhere in the theater? .... The best idea he can think of for this incredible technology is a homicidal magic trick?
*suicidal
One of my favorite movies
this movie was awesome
👉Another Christopher Nolan Masterpeace! 😊👊✊😆👍👌🍁
The Prestige is >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Openheimer
I wouldn't call it minor.
I didn't get it. Was something supposed to happen to it?
What do you mean you don’t know??!!
Imo Insomnia is the most underrated noaln flick. The prestige was my least fav out of his first 3 films (not counting following).
The Prestige isn't "his first 3 films (not counting following)". The first three Hollywood films he made were: Memento, Insomnia, Batman Begins. The Prestige was made after Batman Begins.
The Prestige is my favourite Nolan movie and is on my top 10 movies of all time.
My personal favourite Nolan movie
That was a really good film.
Never understood why it didn't do better at the box-office.
what a prestigious video.
I’m watched this one more than any of his other movies it’s so great
Wolverine, Batman, and David "MF'ing" Bowie, all together in a movie ... what other sale pitch can you possibly need ???
If it had come out a few years later would have been a giant hit
The illusionist looked like crap but the twist in that one was not bad. Both films sabotaged each other just like the plot of the prestige
kinda crazy nikiola tesla dies on Jan 7 bowie died on jan 8th

Never forget that bizarre.
Wonderful film
A nephew of mine is a successful screenwriter. His dad is not impressed by many movies, but he was wowed when my nephew showed him "The Prestige"
It ended
"cmbined"
My 2nd favorite Nolan film, 1st place is The Dark Knight
I watch today waht a Co incidence
Once Wolverine had a duplicate of himself, there was no need to keep using the machine as his duplicate could just be waiting in the audience. Killing the duplicate each time was just silly.
Not just my favorite movie, this is Nolan's true masterpiece, and his best work, before he was corrupted by the Hollywood machine. BEST NOLAN MOVIE, PERIOD.
My favorite Nolan film - with the possible exception being the Dark Knight. Occasionally.
When I picture Nikola Tesla in my mind I only cab see David Bowie after seeing this film the very first time.
tremdous movie
Maybe Nolan's best movie!
The greatest trick is how this man is a professional narrator. Was he told to read everything like he was calling a boxing match?
Am I the only one who suspects that the whole "cloning" premise of this film was a misdirection and didn't actually happen? The only time the film shows it happening was through the narration of Angiers journal. My thought is that he could have been lying to throw Alfred off the scent. The real trick was that he was killing men who looked like him over and over. This makes more sense to me than a sci-fi element.
It's really not a great movie. Besides doing magic tricks in a movie just doesn't work like in person.
AI written script
When someone puts the art of story telling ahead of making money and makes money becasue they put the art of story telling ahead of making money.
Never saw it 🤷♂️
Nothing , great movie among many great movies. I think this is nolan's the best one. Batman vs Wolverine.
