@rhitwick- ^To me it was actually. I don't know all the answers of all the queries, but to me it's that Ms.Portman in that movies was shown to have two images in her life, one with her natural helped her to dance the White one, and the other is there is a devil, or something like that, which she saws in her dream and obsession and thus in dreams she scratches herself and which backed up her for her Black performance. She had the right images in herself just at the perfect time, which is a final dance show n the movie. Maybe I am all wrong but that's what I felt :), I am not good with words, so please pardon me.

Anyway, have watched 'The Prestige'. Frankly I didn't get the finishing. :!:, but allover the movie was AWESOME :)

The Prestige (2006) - IMDb

Apart from action scenes this is a stupid and boring movie.

A bit background info how I 'managed' to watch this. We four friends went to see this movie yesterday at Fame cinemas, Raghuleela mall, Vashi, Mumbai. Show was at 9.30PM. We asked for ticket and the person at counter told that 9.30 show is not sure as 8.15PM show was canceled due to no audience turned up.
We were very desperate to watch this movie so asked on what condition they will play this movie. He told if we gather total 8 persons the show will start. Now, how do you gather another 4 more persons for such a movie? So went away, had our diner and came back to the counter. It was 9.25PM. We found another boy was arguing with him about this movie and was given the same reason. We asked him how many were they? He said 4! Then he asked how many are we?
Well, next is happy ending (and boring beginning). We satisfied bare minimum criteria for the show and watched the movie.

About movie: Good special effects. I would really LOVE to see someone filing a PIL against the unnecessary use of shaky cam in movies.

@ rhitwick:I saw the movie about a week ago.From what i remember i'll try to answer your queries.
1.Well,I don't know why you asked it :smile:.
2 & 3.She was learning dancing from her childhood right?May be she had multiple personality disorder since her childhood but mildly.The personality change might be the reason for the scratches.As she became more and more obsessed with dancing the disorder grows.
4.She doesn't appear to be social.She rarely talks with anyone else other than her mom and also she doesn't talk about anything else except her carrier.Also her mom exerts excessive control over her life,who is also obsessed with ballet.
5.I don't think drug have anything to do with hallucinations.Right from the beginning she sees wierd and untrue things.
6.I don't think there is much left in the story apart what's said in the plot.
May be you should visit the wikipedia pageBlack Swan (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
7.Sorry,I didn't get it.

If you liked it,watch 'The Illusionist' too.Personally i think it's better than The Prestige.

1.Well,I don't know why you asked it :smile:.
>I asked because her voice seemed to me very unnatural. Well I've not been with many girls who talk such slowly and softly. I just wanted to know if that is done on script requirement.

4.She doesn't appear to be social.She rarely talks with anyone else other than her mom and also she doesn't talk about anything else except her carrier.Also her mom exerts excessive control over her life,who is also obsessed with ballet.
>When Thomas asked abt her having boyfriends, she told she had few and she's not virgin. Now having more than one bf and not being virgin is surely not a characteristic of girl of such nature.

5.I don't think drug have anything to do with hallucinations.Right from the beginning she sees wierd and untrue things.
>But she hallucinated first about sex (at least audience are told like that) under drug influence. She, as portrayed in movie, become more fluent and lucid after taking the drug. This body language was required for her Black Swan role. What I think is that, realizing she is not able to do Black Swan as required she might have taken the drug b4 performance. My problem is that, I can not believe she just, just performed black swan with perfection.

7.Sorry,I didn't get it.
>I was talking about David Lynch. He makes brainfcuk movies.


Y know, sometimes I even though Lily does not exist, she is making her up.

^it also shows the guts of the director and the crew to make and trust such a project.

@Rhitwick: Kick yourself on my behalf for mentioning that sham of a movie Blacula!! The movie could have been fine had it been a comedy but it was pathetic.

I was interrupted while watching COnfessions this afternoon. Now resumed....the opening scene is amazing.

(well, obviously 8 is a bit high for this movie, but it deserves 7.5 at least and the rest .5 is my personal liking it a bit more)
