This or the Prestige?
For me it's the prestige. What are your thoughts?
shareThe Prestige for me aswell.
On a sidenote i think i must rewatch this and hope there was some good explination to how the ghost tricks worked.. I did see that they showed the blueprint for building the orangetree and i thought oh neat now they might show how the other tricks where made but either i missed it or they skipped that part.
The prestige is on another level imho but they are two completely different movies
shareAgreed. Prestige is light years ahead. In terms of acting, story, plot, pretty much everything...
But as you said, they were going for vastly different audiences, they just both happen to use magic as a plot device...

A few things hinted to the ghost trick early on in the film like the lamps he was working on and how careful he asked the staff to be with them. Also the projector being used is probably the easiest one. I believe though the trick involved his lamps because at some point you could see the images of the ghost flickering like a candle fire or something like that which was the same with that projector that used a similar light source.
