Plot Twist

The plot twists are the lamest parts of The Prestige, IMO. Everything else is awesome.

Yeah, the plot twist ruined the whole movie for me.

Wtf ever. I can see being annoyed by the absolute last reveal (with the tanks) but how Bale's character was doing the disappearing man was f'in gold, and is what makes the movie awesome.

The mistake is just playing them up to be such huge "GOTCHA" twists. Both are good plot developments in the sense that the film is a Victorian morality play/horror story, and revealing them in that sense would be fine. Building it up to be these amazing "tricks" we have to figure out...not so much.

 

Also: NEEDS MORE BOWIE TESLA.

I don't think of it so much of a mystery that is meant to be figured out, but something that suddenly makes all the characters (insane) actions make more sense and seem a little more human/tragic. ("You don't know? ...you don't know!!?!"). But sure, more Bowie, more Colorado Springs (which is where I am from).
