The Prestige
这部以魔术为题材的电影有几个卖点: 一是两个外形气质相似(a.k.a. 帅)的男主, Christian Bale和Hugh Jackman; 二是一个中上的剧本; 最后是导演Christopher Noran. 常青配角Michael Caine的表演还是一如既往地恰到好处… 可惜, 里面女角面相都很不讨好 (尤其是Scarlett Johansson.)
交叉进行的故事一开始过于支离破碎, 到中后段才能让人整理出头绪来. 至于谜底, 其实并不难猜中. 两个魔术师斗法过程是很吸引, 但对于一部悬疑电影来说这个故事只能算一般.
看完The Prestige的最大得益是学到了一点魔术的原理, 特别是一开始Cutter说的这段点明了电影主题的话:
…Every great magic trick consists of three acts. The first act is called “The Pledge”; The magician shows you something ordinary, but of course… it probably isn’t. The second act is called “The Turn”; The magician makes his ordinary some thing do something extraordinary. Now if you’re looking for the secret… you won’t find it, that’s why there’s a third act called, “The Prestige“; this is the part with the twists and turns, where lives hang in the balance, and you see something shocking you’ve never seen before.
另外, 我在wikipedia上稍微复习了电影中出现过的物理学家Nikola Tesla的生平. 以前高中上课时整天听老师说的磁通量单位”特斯拉”, 原来就是这个老头……
