tesla dialoge -- the prestige (2006)

[flagtheoffense]

I love how David Bowie just acts every so often and does it like he's been doing it for decades.

[WhiteBlade]

When I learned that was David Bowie my mind was blown

[thejuniorseas]

The most eccentric musician playing the most eccentric scientist and technologian is perfect casting!

[lotdog]

Tesla was a man thousand years ahead of his time, I highly doubt that we will see anyone like him in near future.

[KatiKosta]

Tesla. What a fitting character for Bowie to play. I believe this was his last film role. Perfect.

[BlaneNostalgia]

One of the most memorable supporting roles in cinema history, I'll never forget this Nicola Tesla. David Bowie was multi talented

[DougUnfunny]

I remember watching this movie for the first time and I didn't even realize it was Bowie. RIP

"They're all your hats Mr. Angier" gives me chills

[DonVal]

That guy playing Tesla looks like he came from space or something.

[omarsolis]

Interesting how the exchanging of money between them is merely a formality. Tesla just needs a reason to continue his obsessive work. Angier similarly obsessed with his "trick" doesn't even care.

There has still not been a movie about Tesla or with Tesla. That is still a sin to humanity. :P

It's sad that when people are alive, you don't quite have a grasp on just how special and unique they are. I have always been a huge fan of David Bowie's music, but I've never really noticed until now what a gifted actor he was too-and I've seen several of his movies!

It took me many years to understand what he means when he says "I've already begun to build it" at 2:12 Tesla had the amazing ability to plan and build complex machinery in his mind before setting out it on paper. What an incredible mind he must have had, how different the world could have been if more people had listened to him.

[Kncperseus]

Basically this is Nolan telling us that Tesla was indeed a wizard. He walked through a torrent of electricity, then acted as a power source for the Light Bulb.

[Embrinna]

It still blowing my mind that it was David Bowie that played Tesla.
Iconic.

[anarose]

I just love how he can change his accent ! A master chameleon ;-D

[narcissuspepino]

truly the greatest mind to have walked this earth he dreamed big, even as meticulous as he was.  he stared an empire in the face and didn't back down. this man changed the world and his idea's are still being pursued. I cant praise this man enough... you call him the forgotten wizard its more like he was erased or blacked out of history

[JojoBiebah]

his mannerisms and voice are very much like Pierce brosnan

[jamessky-eaglesmith]

2019: God Bless Bowie, He was underappreciated for this role, but holy cow did he deliver!

[Theomite]

Fun fact: there's no VFX in this sequence. They just started rolling camera while Bowie was walking to his mark.
