The Prestige ...

I would rate this movie a 9.5 because of the 'getting your hands dirty'. However, I really should rate it a 10 for the lesson of obsession '0' !

This movie is about the dark side of magic. You learn the three things it takes to make a magic trick work. You have the pledge where the magician tells you what he is going to do. You are allowed to come and see if there is anything false. Then comes the turn where the magician makes something disappear. Last, the magician must make it come back and this is called the prestige.

What you really come away from the movie is how obsession can take over your life and once it does, you become the slave and in the end you will be distroyed by your obsession.

Remember this is a movie about magic. The author is the magician. You are watching the trick. You will be played. Knowing this I knew what was coming, but the author had yet another final twist on me. This movie is deep and has a lot of twists. It makes you think which is the best part...

My final thought is that I am all about passion and dreams, so when does it become an obsession? When you are out of balance...
