I love both films. THE ILLUSIONIST has a terrific music score by Philip Glass, while THE PRESTIGE has David Bowie as Tesla. My review of the former, recently rewatched: www.ddmcd.com/movies/illus...

ddmcd.comThe Illusionist — www.ddmcd.comThis is an intelligent, beautifully photographed and acted, and hugely satisfying romantic tale. Magic, love, and sleight-of-hand are at its core.

Ones a movie about love. The other movie? Two assholes, that are such fucking assholes. They perpetually make the people they love and know... fucking miserable, and one of them kills himself each night. Assholes.
