Illusionist copied Prestige?
Did the Illusionist copied Prestige? or vice versa?
both films came out almost the same time.

The Illusionist, which is an amazingly deep story has nothing to do with the Prestige which is an action flick with a setting of magicians.
shareWhy do people have to put down popular movies in order to big up less mainstream ones? The Illusionist was good, but the Prestige was better, imo, and it has a higher rating to prove it.
"Oh, Britta's in this?"
Its just one of those occasional coincidences.
shareA higher rating doesn't prove anything other than...it was more popular. Things that are very popular are not by definition good. Look At McDonald's or Twilight for a start. XD
Not to dis The Prestige, but though it was packed with actors in it I liked, I did not like any of the characters and didn't care about what happened to them. I do not like Edward Norton, yet I wanted Eisenheim to succeed in The Illusionist. That right there indicates better storytelling.
The styles of the movie are so very different it's hard to compare them. The Illusionist had a soft visual palate with a dash of vibrancy, with the acting and the plot understated, everything was pretty subtle. Nothing was big, it did not feel like a big Hollywood production. The Prestige very much felt like a Hollywood movie, everything was a little more forced, a little more false, seemed less real and more obviously a movie, all the settings, inside or outside, felt like movie sets to me. I was able to fall into and enjoy The Illusionist with ease. I just couldn't get immersed in the world of The Prestige, maybe because it was a bit more fantastical and harder to believe, and everyone so unpleasant.
Anyway...I think objectively the movies are pretty equal. Subjectively The Prestige was a better movie for you and The Illusionist for me.
Giving my vote... Prestige i liked more. Although illusionist was great to. U really nailed it with your descriptions. To say votes dont matter on imdb is ridiculous though. Sure it doesnt mean everything but the consensus is... people like prestige better. Atleast on imdb. Ya mcdonalds sucks but sometimes it hits the spot. There soda keeps me coming back Best coke on the planet, i swear lol.

No. Factually, The Prestige was a better movie for the world and The Illusionist for you. At least you can say you're special, if nothing else. share
"Action flick." So in other words, you didn't see it.
sharethe Prestige which is an action flick
what?
clearly you don't understand what 'action flick' means.
anyway, this movie is nothing like the prestige. yes they are in roughly the same time period and both are about magicians but that's it. about as much similarity as Mission Impossible has with Die Hard With A Vengeance. share
