The Prestige (2006) A Friendship, That Became a Rivalry...A Rivalry, That Became a Battle

I just finished watching the movie. It was directed by Christopher Nolan, the man who did the new Batman movie with Christian Bale. This was a very good movie with some great twists in it.

Bale, Alfred Borden and Hugh Jackman, Robert Angier, in the beginning of the movie, worked together as magicians and were friends in the beginning of the movie. They worked for a man named Cutter (Michael Caine). When Angier's wife dies during one of their stunts, a bitter rivalry starts up. The try to out do eachother with bigger and better magic tricks. Bale get the fame and has a wife and daughter. Angier wants those things and will stop at nothing to get them and destroy the other person in the process.

With each new trick comes new level of danger and sabotage. One magician tries to out-do the other one with the stakes getting higher all the time. Scarlett Johansson, who plays Olivia Wenscombe, becomes Angier's assistant, but betrays him and falls in love with Borden.

David Bowie who plays Nikola Tesla has a pivotal role in this film, by creating the best and finial trick for Angier. It is supposed to be a teleporter device, but it makes a clone of the person that materializes some 50feet away. This is the problem that gets Borden placed in jail and convicted for the murder of Angier, when in fact, it was a clone that died. The cloning effect was alluded to when Angier was leaving Tesla's residence. You see hats and many cloned cats about 50 feet from the house.

In the end, Borden is hanged and Angier gets his child, but the twist is that Borden has a twine brother that goes ad kills Angier, the real one, not a clone. He gets his daughter back and the movie ends.

I did not want to tell all the twists and stories. This movie was very well done and in my opinion, is a must to see.

Enjoy!

Random Thoughts...

It is warm here today. It got to nearly 64. That is a big change from what it has been as of late. We have a chance of rain also. A front is coming our way and it is going to cool down by Friday, but warm back up early next week. I can feel it in my lower back as it is hurting me at the moment.

This type of weather is really bad because it keeps everyone sick from the constant temperature changing. If it is nice this weekend, we might try to go and do some riding
at a new park. It is called Pocahontas State Park.

This is my 2nd day off from work. I go back on shift tomorrow night. I am in the process of applying for positions with Qimonda to get a job with them. I am just a Vendor and as such, not a permanent employee. Only time will tell about this situation.

This pic is one i took when we lived in Massachusetts. It was facing East looking over a friend’s house at the clouds. IT was just before a Nor’easter was about to hit... What a storm that one was...


I will post a few other pics of Massachusetts that show just how cold it was there.

Sleep during the day...

Well, folks, I am once again on the old night shift! I have heard that when you sleep during the day, like taking a nap, it is like getting more sleep than if you slept during the night. For every 15 minuets of sleep during the day, it equals 1 hour of sleep at night.

Since I am on nights again. I try to go to sleep around 9.30am and get up around 3.45-4.00pm. SO on average with the few phone calls during the day, I usually get about 6.5 hours of sleep.

I have noticed that during the day, I dream a tremendous amount more than I do at night. I can remember my dreams and I am also aware that I am dreaming more times than not. That is called Lucid Dreaming.

I will be doing a series of BLOG entries about this as I find more information about it.
Here is some information, it is not what I am truly looking for, but it is a start!
