The time line makes this movie good. The tricks are made perfectly and cannot be understood by us. But at the last scene we all know the tricks. The desire for the revenge makes them crazy.

The film "The Prestige" is directed by Christopher Nolan in the year 2006. The basis of the film is adapted from the screenplay from 1995 by Christopher Priest which was also based on the novel of the same name. The novel won the World Fantasy award and was famous in the world of entertainment on its unique platform. Victorian London is the place where the movie took place, by keeping it in mind that at the following time and place, and black magic were believed in by the credulous. Somerset Maugham's novel The Magician captures that period perfectly in its fictional portrait of Aleister Crawley, "the evilest man in the world", in which the illusion is created of the one being really an occult practitioner of dark forces. The Prestige is also plotted on the basis of illusion and magic which contains a touch of rivalry and passion. The movie has twist after twist which leads it to be successful in the film world. There are points when it will look like the movie has come to its conclusion; however, it is full of turns that keep the viewers engaged. The Duality, obsession, sacrifice, and secrecy pervading the conflict are the basic theme of the movie. The main characters are Robert Angier (Hugh Jackman), Alfred Borden (Christopher Bale), Oliva Wenscombe (Scarlett Johansson ) and John Cutter (Micheal Caine). All of these characters have strong interpersonal relationships
