The Prestige

I watched a movie yesterday, The Prestige, with Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale and Michael Caine. Scarlett Johansson appears in a Cameo. The film is about two illusionists (Jackman and Bale) who are competing about the best trick. The film is set in the late 19'th century in London, and it's intriguing how the actors can speak English with an American accent. Then I would like to state that all movies (and literature for that matter) is a result of the time in which it was made and not about the time in which it's set. Thus, the most interesting scene was when Hugh Jackman stood on stage and spoke out to the public and said something about the times that was about to change radically. This may be a dire prediction for the year 2007.
