Alfred Borden is the magician in the movie The Prestige, and Christian Bale has portrayed him, entangled in a fierce rivalry with Robert Angier, portrayed by Hugh Jackman. This movie ends up with a great dramatic revelation that Borden had a twin brother who helped him successfully do his main trick. Bale captures the obsessive dedication and personal sacrifices of this complex character. The result is a profound and unanticipated conclusion that leaves one thinking about the cost of ambition.
