Merry Christmas =)

I know its Christmas and to do anything relating to school would be considered nerdy.  But I watched a great movie today so what better place to talk about it...
    So the movie I watched today was "The Prestige" by Christopher Nolan who seems to produce every thriller I enjoy.  And this one was certainly no exception.  But I wouldn't say the movie was just a thriller, it was really a combination of many things including sci-fi, romance, and some kind of magical theme.  I know that sounds like an odd combination but its a tough movie to classify under only one genre.  I know these sort of movies appeal to you Mr Bennett  Example A: The Dark City.
   Anyway back to the movie.  The cast in my opinion is an amazing one including the likes of Mr Hugh Jackman (A legend), Christian Bale (also one of my favorite actors), David Bowie, Michael Caine (have to love the British accent, he is also the butler in Batman for those of you unfamiliar with the name), Scarlett Johansson  ;)  , and many others.  I cant really do justice to the plot by describing it on a blog.  Even when you watch the movie several times its a very complex plot to follow because they dont always tell you exactly what happened.  Thats really the reason I think I liked it so much.  It makes you think.   Its one of those movies where its completely open to what you think happens (like the ending of Inception).  Basically, the plot follows the lives of two partner musicians who are starting off their young and promising careers together. Their show is quite successful, and they both happened to be engaged to two beautiful young ladies.  But tragedy strikes, and its unclear who is at fault.  They blame each other naturally.  The magicians turn on each other, and spend their lives trying to out due their rival's show no matter the consequences. Now that may not sound like the most captivating plot ever but its much more complex than I could possibly hope to describe here.  I didnt focus on the symbolism or camera work of the movie as I was simply trying to entertain myself on a late Christmas night and this movie certainly served that purpose.  Perhaps I shall do that the second time around as this movie certainly warrants another viewing.  So in conclusion, I would definitely recommend it if your willing to pay attention and enjoy the movie, I think it will be well worth your time.  Anyway Merry Christmas everyone hope you had a great day =)
