The Prestige

I’ve reckoned watching The Prestige when I saw its trailer before but I thought otherwise because it involved magic. Magic. I kind forgot that everything was just a trick. As if I didn’t have a friend who made us his audience. I miss those days. I miss my friend and our other friends who were his audience.

So I’ve finally watched it. And I’ve been confused as I could get with this film. At least it was not an experience like I had when I watched Zodiac, which gave me headache even hours after I’ve gone back home.

I’ve been confused with this film, with the turn of events, but I was able to manage. Things had been clear but shocking. Speaking of which, I remember Sarah. I think she’s obsessed with the truth. What a character.

Obsession. I think a lot of the characters here had been obsessed with something, one way or another. And I couldn’t reprimand any of them, for I also have the tendency to be obsessed. Just like now.
