Okay. Historien er jo et hævndrama, men jeg har så tilgengæld sjældent set den eksekveret så mesterligt, som trækker en med ned i de mørkeste afkroge. Hver gang jeg ser den, opdager jeg en ny dragende detalje. Det er ihvertfald en af de få indefilm, jeg elsker, beundrer og kan se tons vis af gange. Men jeg kan anbefale Prestige og Following, selvom Following lider af at være meget meget low budget, men den filmiske kvalitet kan man få øje på.
You wanna know what happens to an eyeball when it gets punctured?

Den får lige en chance til, nu da du og andre roser den så meget. :-)
Jeg har stadig ikke glemt, at jeg efter mit første kig på 'The Bourne Identity' i biografen syntes, at jeg lige havde set en dårlig, mislykket film. hehe

Den står mellem TDK og Inception, har dog kun set Inception 1 gang og TDK en del gange. Men min liste ser hvertfald sådan her ud:
1+2: TDK/Inception 10/10 3: Batman Begins 10/10 4: Memento 8/10 5: Prestige 8/10 6: Following 7/10
Et lille spørgsmål til Following:
Jeg er meget nysgerrig mht den første scene hvor en person putter tingene fra blondinens boks tilbage i boksen... hvad er pointen/meningen med den scene ?
Tæt kamp mellem The Presstige, Memento og Inception. For mig blev hele filmatiseringen The Prestige kun bedre af at læse bogen. En bog der på ingenmåde imponerede, men dermed ophøjede filmen. Det er rart at se, når folk faktisk en gang imellem arbejder videre og forbedrer det originale og ikke blot omsætter det.
#26 Interessant. Hvordan er bogen mht. fortolkning? Er den som en åben bog eller giver den svar? :) Ikke fordi det er voldsomt interessant for filmen som sådan, men altid interessant at se forfatterens udlægning.

Fra IMDB: Enkelte SPOILERS fra filmen, og bogen, så læs ikke, hvis du ikke vil få noget afsløret.
Those who have both seen the movie and read the book say that the two are quite different. There are some themes and ideas taken from the novel and many of the same character names are used, but the story is very different and even the characters themselves are different individuals. The book is set up as a mysterious frame narrative in a contemporary setting from the point of view of a descendant of one of the magicians, and we learn about the rivalry through the diary entries that this descendant reads.
Major plot points were completely changed: Julia does not die; Sarah does not die; Borden is not hanged. (He is not even convicted, tried, or accused of killing Angier); Borden and Angier are not colleagues, they barely know each other; Borden does not kill Angier; Cutter is only a minor character. Cutter convinces Angier relatively early in the novel that the Bordens are identical twins. Later, Angier investigates the birth records and discovers that there is no record of a twin. (Albert has a brother, Freddy, who is 2 years younger, but a photo shows that they look nothing alike, having different builds and facial features. In the novel, this is revealed to have been doctored, and that they had planned their trick from an early age.)
Another major change deals with the Tesla machine. In the novel, the machine is clearly shown to be a teleportation device, but does not create living duplicates. The item or person in the machine is teleported to a new location and inert material that looks like the original is left behind (in the novel, Angier refers to these as "the prestige materials"). The prestige materials do not decompose over time, even after a century, but remain exactly as the were at the moment of duplication. The only time two living duplicates are created in the novel is when an incomplete transfer occurs after Borden turns the machine off in mid-teleport. Most of Angier stays behind, but a small mass (he is viewed as a ghostly image) is teleported. There are two distinct minds (with similar memories) with very different bodies.
At the end of the novel, Angier is in fact still alive, in this ghostly form, even a century after the novel's main Victorian events. The novel even suggests that there is some psychic link between the teleported body and the prestige, suggesting that they think and feel the same to some extent. It makes the ending of the novel more haunting as we imagine he may have lost a part of his "soul" with each teleportation.

Dem vil jeg se, ligeså snart det er mig muligt.

hehe! Sådan kan det gå indimellem, men gode film vinder med tiden - forhåbentlig :-)
Ihvertfald Prestige, den kan nemmere anskaffes, mens Following nok ikke findes i 20 eksemplar i din lokle blockbuster, hvis ét :-)
