Oh I finished The Prestige but I can't stay up to watch this now! Woe is me! Be back on Wednesday. EDIT never mind, I had to stay up. Here's a copy of my comment on Youtube: What I like about this movie, in contrast to the Prestige- Prestige makes the magic a bitter aftertaste to a dirty mechanical trick, while this presents the magic in the firelit illumination of old memories and embellished stories. This one is what magic felt like to people of that time, not having any idea how any of it was done so it was supposed to be unrealistic. It was at that unique point in history where you could choose to believe or be a skeptic but neither side could be definitive. I wish there was that kind of magic today. So I like that this movie didn't explain the magic, it put me in the mindset of a turn-of-the-century person who would not get it explained either. It felt more immersive.
