Two 2006 movies The Illusionist and Prestige both set around 1900 dealt with what subject matter?

Both "The Illusionist" (2006) and "The Prestige" (2006) deal with the world of magic and illusion, set in the late 19th century. However, they explore this theme in different ways:

* The Illusionist: This movie focuses on the romantic side of magic, where the protagonist uses his skills to win the love of a woman who is forbidden to be with him. It explores themes of love, sacrifice, and the power of illusion to create reality.

* The Prestige: This movie delves into the darker side of magic, where two rival magicians are obsessed with outdoing each other, leading to rivalry, obsession, and dangerous consequences. It explores themes of ambition, betrayal, and the lengths people will go to for recognition.

Both films offer a captivating look at the world of magic and illusion, but with different focuses and interpretations. They are both excellent examples of the "Golden Age of Magic" aesthetic, capturing the grandeur and mystery of the period.
