Nikki did your husband really just ask what's the big deal about David bowie. Erm it's frigging David bowie 😳 music icon

Steven, WTF man? You’ve never seen your wife’s favorite movie of all time??? You need to react to Labyrinth ASAP. 😎

Please watch Wild Things, it has a real story twist you guys will love……

100% you need to watch the "illusionist" with edward norton....brilliant movie about a magician which keeps ypu guessing all the way through. P.S love you reactions all the way from U.K X

I still hope you guys do a reaction to an Oscar winning Korean movie “ Parasite” soon! That is a great movie .

Also the bird trick itself foreshadows exactly how the Tesla/tank one works.

One of my favorite things about this movie is they tell you how its done all along.

There is even more foreshadowing: The old man with the fishbowl trick leaves the interpretation open that Tesla's machine never worked and that Angier staged everything which actually fits the realistic tone of the movie better than crazy unbelievable science fiction.

@@bobbwc7011 explain that, I’m confused

@@bobbwc7011 elaborate

Yup, nothing but pure obsession

The wife wanted the knock there was nothing to avenge.

This is the moment he became Heisenberg.

Much better then The Illusionist which came out around the same time. The Prestige is still one of my top 5 favorite movies of all time. And is one of the few that I can watch over and over again without getting sick of it.

Even more than "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone"? :P

@@wisewolftony the Illusionist was an excellent movie.

@@theshadowfax239 yes it was, but not better than the prestige (for me)

Tosh. I've seen the film Willow ;)

he replied "we should tell Fallon about it" because he is the real father lmao

@@yohanesbobbysanjaya3541 For that exact dialogue, Nolan was clever enough to have the camera taken from behind Borden and point to Sarah's face, so as to avoid any suspicion on the former. The whole movie is a magic trick on the audience.

Yep. Spoilers only destroy a film that isn’t that great anyway...

@@projectpat8807 the first sentence of your comment is ridiculous. I hope that you're just a child.

the prestige is good but the fact that they randomly found a PERFECT double who looks exactly like him, but just drunk, is bs. Memento was a much better nolan film

Movie is a narrative magic trick. If you pay attention on several clues, you will found out that Root is not a double, but his real twin brother. Yes, they are pretending what they are not. If Fallon disguises to appear very different from Borden so no one will recognizes him, Root and Angier does the opposite and Root is disguised as an almost identical Borden, and a clumsy, drunk, unknown and indomitable one. With this disguise and behaviour, they know that Borden will found out, and that's the first part of the trick: TO FAIL in front of him to let Borden think he is just a double. Once they "fail", they can do the second part of the trick, a new show where now Root is not disguised and not acting as a double, but like what he is, his real twin brother, so they can do the twin trick using the machine as a misdirection. They know now that Borden will never think Angier could have a twin brother, because how could be if he needed a clumsy double before?. Now they do the perfect and limited show, and they know Borden soon or later will try to sneak into backstage to see what's going on. So Angier in these limited shows goes every night into the water tank, but not dying, he can be released by his team or knows how to escape. He will wait to die only the night that Borden comes to backstage, because it's a trap. This night Angier sacrifices his life because he wants to send Borden to jail, looking for justice/vengance for the death of his drowned girlfriend in the same situation. And wait, it's not over. Because if you pay attention Cutter always talks about a drowned sailor who died and said dying was agonizing... and hehehey you just heard Cutter's trick: Die and agony are terrible words, but the important thing is not about if it was like going home or it was agony, the important thing nobody pay attention is that the drowned sailor in fact got resurrected so he can tell how it was. So, did Angier died and then got resurrected and buried alive? Well, there's a scene when they say exactly this as a clue/joke in the restaurant scene with Borden. The final answer can be resolved at the final frame, where a bubble appears in the water tank. Now, Angier has done the definitive trick, to be at the same time the man in the box and the prestige.

This movie kind of got lost between the first two Batman movies. But I think this maybe his best Nolan movie.

But the twin can tell tho, which knot he did at that time

@@ArthurKnight1899 assuming the twin told him or not, probably doesn't remember either out of shock of killing her or guilt. Who knows.

​@@ArthurKnight1899 - yes, but telling the truth would risk revealing the trick later on, whichever knot it actually was.

He even says at cemetery, “I keep asking myself that” meaning he keeps asking his brother which knot he tied.

Damn .... I've watched this movie so many times and I've never clicked to that part.

have you seen him in Prisoners?

An Australiann playing an Englishnan playing an American

@@Nummymuffincocobutter absolute masterpiece plus the torturing scenes were too good acting wise

and sing!

Should watch Prisoners

I don't know if being rated #41 on IMDB's Top Movies of All Time list (with 1.3 million votes) counts as underrated.

@@iceman10129 That’s interesting, since it’s not as popular as Nolan’s other movies, which it’s way better than in my opinion

@@kianhughes6309 it is, just not now a days. people these days dont go back and watch things that came out 15+ years ago - hence why these reaction channels even exist and they work for us old heads that have seen all of these. it was nominated for 2 academy awards and made over double the money from its budget. Its a highly rated movie, people just only focus on recent events these days and dont appreciate what came out when they were 5

I had a thought that perhaps Borden was jealous of the life angier had with his wife. Freddie (aggressive Borden) didn’t have anyone at that time and had to share a wife he didn’t even love. Dark thought I know.

🤝

And he immediately said "We should've told Fallon" implying Fallon at that time was the brother who was the actual father and the one that loved Sarah

@@fly3811 Actually no. No one knows who's child is that. They shared one life. They both slept with her. To them, the child is theirs no matter who's the true father was.

@@fly3811 It was more strongly implied when Sarah said she could tell Borden didn't love her that day lmao

Alfred. One brother named Abert, the other named Frederick.

Interstellar 11/10 The Prestige 10/10 Inception 9/10

Agreed

Yep and it's not close. I love Inception, Memento, and Dunkirk, but The Prestige is so good.

And we don't know if that was the original Cauldlow or if it was a double ...

You root for Michael Caine

@@chand911 its oddly true

@@gg8264 She willingly entered into a relationship with one person. She never knew it was two people she was getting involved with.

Have you heard the theory that the machine didn't actually work, and it was part of Angier's best magic trick to convince everybody, including us the audience, that the machine was real? This would explain why Tesla abandoned it. Not because he thought it was dangerous, but because it didn't actually work. Angier made up the part about it actually being a cloning device so that he could trick Borden and Cutter into believing he achieved the trick via miraculous science... but he actually did it by still using Root (Root didn't leave, Angier just got better at hiding him, even from us, even from Cutter), and the only night anybody actually drowned was the night that Borden went backstage. All the other tanks are empty (you can see they're empty if you look closely... this is the real point of the narration asking us "Are you watching closely?"). It wasn't clones that drowned... it was Root that drowned. Angier didn't want Cutter to know this, so he convinced him the machine was real and he only killed a clone of himself. Teleportation/cloning isn't possible. This isn't a science fiction movie. It's a realistic movie about magicians. Us being tricked into believing the machine is real was part of the magic trick of this movie.

@@AWSVids does that theory explain the hats?

Disagree. That theory doesn’t explain the hats and cats outside. It’s not a science fiction movie, yes. But to them in that era, science itself might as well have been science fiction. Unreal. Too good to be true. Real magic. Nolan using a fictional Tesla character to create a cloning device highlights just how mesmerized Angier became with science as a means to achieve his ultimate victory, no matter the cost. At the end he even says “it’s not magic, but purely science.” By the end he doesn’t even believe in magic anymore. Only science and victory. Angier truly is the real villain of the story.

After getting burned by his double I don't think he would trust to give that power over himself to another person again, *especially* himself. He knows himself and knows himself capable of murdering himself, every night, for entertainment. That's precisely why he had that pistol at the ready after using the machine, so that he wouldn't be convinced to let him live. How long until his duplicate decides he doesn't want to share the spotlight and kills the original to take his place? If he has that thought, he knows his duplicate would have that thought too. Also, that theory about the machine not working and it being Root that is killed is dumb. If all the story about Tesla and the duplicate cats and hats were framed through the journal (and thus could be a story made up by Angier), then it might have a leg to stand on. However, there is a flashback outside of the bounds of the journal at the very end of the movie in which it shows Angiers shooting the duplicate. The other tanks also do seem to have bodies in them, you can see it in the row of tanks on the right just after Borden turns to look back before Cutter's final line of the film and also as the camera pans over to the left just before Cutter says "fooled."

Yay!! Labyrinth fans unite!!

Understatement of the century. Andy Serkis is a legend.

This movie has way stronger plot and performances but Interstellar is one of the best spectacles in cinema history.

5 best Nolan movies 5. Memento 4. Inception 3. Interstellar 2. The Dark Knight 1. The Prestige

Memento is great, but I would recommend the original Insomnia (with Stellan Skarsgard) over the remake. The remake isn't bad at all, the original is just so much better.

that wasnt bad luck, studios do that on purpose, Armageddon/deep impact Antz/A Bugs life and so many others

@@NotmyHouse Batman v Superman, Civil War

I liked that movie too.

True, though Angier had a lot of revenge rage due to his wife possibly dying by Borden's hand. That's the event that set this whole rivalry off.

In no world is this movie underrated. It had multiple Academy Award nominations.
