Yes, another review. However, a short one !
Being a late lateef, most friends thought I was a fool for not having watched THE Prestige !
Most, being Nolan fans, had painted an amazing picture of this one.
Obviously, the expectations were sky high from this one.
The Prestige, set in the Victorian Era, is a story of two Magicians, who start out as friends, but end up as enemies, due to a magic trick gone awfully wrong.
From then on, it is an endless drama of one-upmanship and revenge.
The movie uses the classic Nolan technique of a complicated narrative meshed with flashbacks at various intervals and clues to be used for later.
An intelligent, but a dark movie, full of twists and turns with gray characters, none of which one can sympathize with.
A spectacular look at an era gone by and a sleek peek at a Magician's life.
Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale are impressive and play their parts with believable kameenapan, though, my favourite is Michael Caine, as Cutter, the wise Old man.
Ladies & Gentlemen, Hold your breath !
People's Sexiest Man for 2008 is...
Hugh Jackman !!! Yyaayyyy !!! I am just so happy !
However, let me tell you, I haven't seen any of his movies, heard any of his songs, read any interviews or known him at all !
Bas...had just seen a few shots of him with Meg Ryan in one of their movies - Don't recollect what it was about...
Still, I always felt...he resembled Greek Gods ! (ahem, I know this sounds cheesy)
I have always liked rustic and ruffled looks more than clean shaven, smooth looks.
Hence, mujhe Hugh Ji bhi achhe lagte the and hain :)
Also, there is something about Australian men I say ! Look at Russell Crowe !
Maybe its their outdoorsy lifestyle or modest ranch upbringing... can't put a finger on it..
Whatever be it, I just love them all ! :)
