| The Pledge-The Turn-The Prestige  | | | | Hi Everybody...I would like, in this discussion about the movie, 'The Prestige', to share certain 'Secrets' of Life revealed in the movie, which I'm sure, the movie makers have carefully and intentionally woven into the movie. It is this subtle rendering, that gives this movie the halo and the charism which keeps 'impressing' all those who watches it. This discussion is only meant to tickle minds and for mutual learning. I believe that the 'magic' in the movie is only an analogy of Life itself...Life which to many still remains a mystery because we want it to be. As in magic so in life, people 'want' to be amazed and therefore in a way refuse to 'see' REALITY as it exists. In the movie we have characters like Nikola Tesla, who represent the very few that opts to see Reality and Principles of Creation unfolds in his words, when he says ," I have already begun", in the context of the great Danton having asked him to make him the 'cloning box'. The principle is such that Creation of anything first starts in the Mind and then in the 3D world. This principle, in Tesla's statement, is a very strong affirmative. The 'Box'! The Box that clones us lifetime after lifetime. Tesla empasises that the 'Box' can only bring misery and is best got rid of. It is the 'Box ' of several human incarnations which has to be got rid of to get rid of our miseries. The Buddhist aspect of 'Vipassana' is clearly stated here. Such and more are the Mysteries of Life hidden in the movie. All in all, the movie is fabulous, rich and a glorious 'Illusion of Truth' Please do put in your comments. | | | | | | | | | | SONY VAIO ® Official Site Free Shipping on Laptops. 2nd gen Intel® Core™ i7 processor. store.sony.com/VAIO

| | i liked the movie but i don't really think that they were thinking on these analogies when they made the movie. they might have coincidentally matched with whatever is the beliefs of the buddhists is. they were showing the lives of the magicians, keeping their illusions a complete secret, and were striving to get on the top, no matter at what cost and no matter how morally low they have to get and it ends sadly for both of them (well, 3 of them actually). maybe some day i might try to watch the movie from your angle but i don't really think i would be able to. | | | | | | | | xtaticsaint (34)

| | Thank you for the very fair comment 060157. You could be right as very often we see what we want to see. However, please do try to watch the movie from the perspective. Thank you. | | | | 060157 (762)
