My favorite movie is called “The Prestige” and is classified as a Drama, Mystery and (or) Thriller according to IMDB.com. The film premiere was on October 20 of 2006. The director was Christopher Nolan (also known for directed “BATMAN The Dark Night” and “Inception”). The movie is starred by Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman, Scarlett Johansson and Michael Cain. The film is about the history of two magicians (Robert Angier and Alfred Borden) who compete to be the best magician in London of the late nineteenth century. Both started in the illusionism world working together for a senior magician. At that time, they both had a professional relationship, that changes completely when someone died (I don’t want to spoil the surprise, so I won’t tell who dies) because of a negligence during the magic show.
I like this movie because is a great history, and has a great particularity: it’s told in a nonlinear way (in fact, the movie start with some of the final scene of the history).
