The Prestige: THE TRANSPORTED MAN

[onahna]

Magic trick is consisted of three steps.

First step is ‘pledge’. The ‘pledge’, a magician promises and show to audience that there is no trick and hide. Second step is ‘turn’. It means that something is disappeared. So, audiences are staying focus[ed] on this situation. Last step is a ‘prestige’. The disappeared thing is come back to stage, and audiences are surprised and give big hands to a magician.

Teacher's note: Good to see your post. Thanks much.

A magician performs an illusion for a young girl explaining that each trick has three parts; the pledge, where the audience is presented with an ordinary object; the turn, where the object is turned into something extraordinary; and the prestige, where the object is brought back.

This movie describes two situations simultaneously. One of these situations about disappearance and returning bird, another about man's disappearance. In this film we see that the man is murdered while he appears!

Teacher's note: What is similar and different about these two tricks? Thanks much.

Every Magic trick has 3 steps.

First step is called the pledge, the pledge basically means a serious promise. Which is actually showing to the audience that everything is real and there is nothing changeable on the stage, and will probably invite some random audience to inspect.

Second step is called the turn, the magician will make one of the specific item on the stage to disappear.

Third step which is the last step is called the "prestige", it will recall the item back to life and shock the whole audience with woos and awws.

Last but the least, Can we please finish the movie during the class? please? I am really looking forward to finish the movie with extreme curiosity. Since this movie's beginning is so attractive.

Teacher's note: Let's ask the class if they want to watch the entire film. It's one of my favorite. Thanks for posting.
