Here's why in my book:
Great uses of foreshadow....such as the bird trick and the Chinese magician. Or Cutter's explanation of the dangers of the bullet catch.
Deep inner personalities.......obsession. I love when Angier says, "I don't care about my wife, I care about his secrets."
We see his drive has changed.
Movie magic.....The London street, the 'magic' trick performances (a trick table scene ), shooting with a real double and shooting with the same actor as two people in the same scene, using a dummy ( when the water tank is broken by Cutter and in the theater audience...see the slide presentation on the dvd),
Just a few observations from watching this film yesterday.
Anyone see "Day for Night"? a lot of movie magic is shown.
