  It's not about the destination, it's about the top hats we made along the way

  A bit off topic but Bowie as Tesla is the best cameo in cinema history imho.

  I like how the movie itself foreshadows Tesla as a real wizard, indicating that science is the real magic of the story.

  Ironic how the bird trick at the very start is a foreshadowing of Angier&apos;s teleportation trick later in the film. &nbsp;They both rely on killing the original, hiding the body and then replacing it with a double.

  Did you catch the twist that Lord Caldlow isn&apos;t Robert Angier&apos;s alias. &nbsp;Robert Angier is Lord Caldlow&apos;s alias. &nbsp;Angier&apos;s wife stated to Robert that he was playing someone else, where he replied that he would not embarrass his family with his theatrical endeavours. &nbsp;He is also independently wealthy, and stated to Tesla for making his machine that &quot;Price is not an object.&quot; <br>At the end of the film, Robert Angier revealed his true identity with his true accent. &nbsp;An English lord from the prestigious Caldlow family. &nbsp; <br>BORDEN: &quot;You must be Lord Cal...&quot; <br>ANGIER: &nbsp;&quot;&apos;Caldlow.&apos; &nbsp;Yes, I am. &nbsp;I always have been.&quot;

  Michael Caine&apos;s character tells you the truth all the way through. One of the best films ever.

  I think The Prestige is Nolan&apos;s finest work

  One crazy trick this movie is still pulling on its viewers, is the illusion that this story was between two magicians, Borden and Angier. &nbsp;This movie was about 3 magicians, Borden 1, Borden 2, and Angier. &nbsp;I love rewatching this movie and being able to pick out when we&apos;re watching the aggressive, obsessive, competitive Borden who loved Olivia, and the much more compassionate Borden who fell in love with Sarah.

  I just realized that Angier can literally just do what the Borden twins does for their magic trick the first time he clone himself

  One thing that I finally cottoned on to after years of watching this movie is the opening monologue.<br><br>&quot;We were two young men at the start of a promising career...&quot;<br><br>We&apos;re meant to think this means Borden and Angier. But since it&apos;s Borden narrating it, it actually refers to... Borden and Fallon.

  I think something everyone glosses over here is that if Huge Jacked Man used that machine just once to create a clone, then he could&apos;ve done the trick that American Psycho twinsies were pulling off the whole time, but instead he opted for mass murdering himself.
