Quotes about The Prestige
The pledge of Nolan's The Prestige is that the film, having been metaphorically sawed in two, will be restored; it fails when it cheats, as, for example, if the whole woman produced on the stage were not the same one so unfortunately cut in two. Other than that fundamental flaw, which leads to some impenetrable revelations toward the end, it's quite a movie — atmospheric, obsessive, almost satanic.
The Allure of Deception in Entertainment
Fallon Borden
You went half way around the world, you spent a fortune, you did terrible things - really terrible things, Robert, and all for nothing.
Angier
For nothing?
Fallon Borden
Yeah
Angier
You never understood... why we did this. The audience knows the truth: The world is simple, miserable, solid all the way through. But if you can fool them, even for a second... then you can make them wonder. And you get to see something very special... You really don't know... It was the look on their faces.
The Complexity of Shared Lives
Angier
Cutter knew. Cutter knew. But I told him it was too simple, too easy.
[breathing heavily]
Fallon Borden
No... simple, maybe, but not easy. There's nothing easy about two men sharing one life.
A Farewell Between Two Brothers
Alfred Borden
So, we go alone now. Both of us. Only I don't have as far to go as you. Go. You were right, I should have left him to his damn trick. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for a lot of things. I'm sorry about Sarah. I didn't mean to hurt her, I didn't. You go and live your life in full now, all right? You live for both of us.
Fallon Borden
Goodbye.
