Are you watching closely?

Watched The Prestige today.

A lot of magic, a lot of twists in the story and very good acting,
the poor side is just that its a bit too long and it maybe one twists too many for the audiences to digest ^^"

Despite that,
I really like the fact that the movie tried to present the entire idea by
playing the magic of switching the bird in the first minute.

The magician shows a cage with a bird inside,
then cover it with a cloth,
say some magic word,
then push hard on the cage, so that it collapsed.

No cage, no bird anymore, only the cloth remains.
Where's the bird?
Its in the magician's another hand.

IS IT REALLY THE SAME BIRD?
NOT REALLY, THE FIRST ONE IS KILLED, AND THE ONE IN ANOTHER HAND IS A TWINS.

Thats what this story is about.
Brilliant storytelling.
See it when you have time, you won't be disappointed ^^

9/10
( 0.5 for having Scarlett Johansson, -1 for too complicated)
