Image Association: 2001 and The Prestige

I don't really care for the comparisons between Stanley Kubrick and Christopher Nolan (I think they generally have different styles, themes, preoccupations, etc.), but I did notice a few shots in The Prestige that recalled 2001: A Space Odyssey: one of Tesla's machine that looks all monolithy and a scene set in a morgue that is reminiscent of the room that Dave's journey ends in.

















06/27/2016 Update: Near the end of Inception, in the last level where Leo's target is conversing with his dream-dad, there's a shot that even more directly recalls Kubrick's Sci-Fi spectacle.
