The Prestige?!


Question: Is a really good film =)

But after watching in the second time I was wondering..

Is Robert (Hugh Jackman) supposed to have that accent or is it just a bad attempt at an English accent?
(Sorry if it is actually some kinda of English accent but I've never heard anyone with an accent like that before).

Incase you don't know which one I mean (after watching it twice I still couldn't remember anyones name the next day, I had to look the names up for this)..
He's the magician whose wife dies near the beginning & who asks Tesla (David Bowie ?) to build him that machine.

His accent was bad. Not as bad as Bowie's though, bless him (I heart him too). Christian Bale's accent also sounded weird--kind of exaggerated or something?--but that's likely because he lost his real one after being in the US for so long and had to make it up again. ;)

All in all, the only accent I liked was Caine's pure one.

Edit: I think Tesla was Hungarian?...in any case, his accent sounded like it kept changing from scene to scene. But I didn't mind too much either.

well, hugh usual does do a good accent, considering he's a aussie. i don't know, it was pretty bad, wasn't it. but he was also next to bale using his real accent.

I didn't think he did a bad job of the "upper class british accent" when you consider that he's an Aussie and he was acting alongside Bale and Caine and they are both Brits so their accents were authentic.

i think it just seemed bad next to bale and caine......altho it was actually pretty bad...
