Nolan's Best Film?

The 2006 film about rival magicians desperately trying to learn the secrets of each others tricks.

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.

That scene spent chills down my spine, but why bump a topic abandoned for 3 months? :eh:

God will punish him for bumping a three month year old thread. Mark my words.

Maybe not.

It's so hard to decide between them sometime.

Whenever I see Memento, BB, The Prestige, TDk, Inception or TDKR I think to myself; wow, this is Nolan's best film.
