8 More Movies With Crazy Foreshadowing You Totally Missed

Christopher Nolan's layered psychological thriller is one of his very best movies, which is no small feat when you consider that this is the man who brought us The Dark Knight, Inception, and Memento.

The Prestige contains numerous twists and turns, and in a moment midway through the film, two of its biggest - that Christian Bale's Borden is actually a twin, and Hugh Jackman's Angier is killing dozens of his clones in order to pull off a convincing magic trick - were cleverly signposted.

The moment in question finds Borden assisting a magician with a small magic show. The trick at the centre of this show involves a bird in a cage, with the cage being placed under a sheet and the magician slamming down on the sheet, squashing the cage and killing the bird inside it.

Of course, the audience at the show doesn't know that, because seconds later, the magician pulls out another bird - identical to the dead one - to much applause.

But a young boy in the audience manages to see through this facade. The boy cries as the cage is squashed, so Borden brings the replacement bird over to him, showing the boy that the animal is fine in an effort to comfort him. Not to be fooled, the boy replies "but where's his brother?" referring to the dead bird killed by the cage.

More obviously, this line foreshadows the reveal that Borden also has an identical brother who helps him pull off tricks, but more subtly, the bird trick as a whole mirrors the method Angier will later use to wow audiences at his own shows; killing one version of himself (by drowning them in a water tank) so another can emerge at the end of the trick, alive and well.
