Alfred & Allen were real twins sacrificing their life’s for the sake of the act (just like the old man and his fish tank). Robert Algier wasn’t having any of the “twin’s magic” he denied himself that’s what it was happening; so he looked up on Tesla(the real wizard) to build him a “clone machine” thus making Robert killing all of his clones for the act. nice reaction guys 👍

🖤So hyped you guys reacted to this. And I just knew this was going to be a movie that made George say his "Ok. I have a theory" trademark line we get during thinkers like this LOL. Such a fun movie to watch twice when you know the ending too. I don't want to address a comment Simone said during the credits talk outright, (when she says watching it again with Christoper Nolan to ask X and X) but when you watch it again you can usually tell what's happening when... usually. You'll at least have an educated guess. Also, just got a glimpse of the youtube thumbnail, and it's awesome! And honestly, if it wasn't for the shirts, I wouldn't be able to tell who was George and who was Simone😜

"The patrons told me this is one of those twin movies." WHAT? They gave away the twi... oh, wait, you meant something else entirely.

Still my favorite Nolan movie...maybe Oppenheimer will take the spot.

It's amazing how this film never makes you question who Fallon is and why he never speaks? I feel like Nolan manages to make him appear like a minor character as a mirror to Caine's character. That also works for the Borden twins too, they would have wanted a man who people didn't pay much attention to, suspect they designed their cover as such.

Except it wasn't him sacrificing the clones for the act. It was him sacrificing himself, and the clone (which appears off in the distance, like the cloned hats/cat) taking over the show with the same thoughts/memories. So he (and each clone) was essentially going to his own death each night. Admittedly not for a noble purpose as it was to attempt to punish Borden.

SPOILERS for anyone yet to watch the movie. This is so George can understand the ending. George, the trick wasn't about setting up Bale's character to go to prison. You missed the most important line of the movie. "It takes guts to step into that machine, never knowing if I'll be the man in the box or the Prestige" He had no idea if he was going to be the one to drown or if he'd be the guy at the top of the auditorium getting the ovation. He never figured out if he was getting transported or if he was being cloned and the clone got transported. The clone doesn't know they're a clone and the original doesn't know if he's the original. The original could have died night one, he doesn't know and we don't know. Then why do it that way? Doing the trick with a clone would have made his trick no better than Bale's. His trick was superior, it was real magic (The Real Transported Man), every time. That's why he kept using it. Yes, his plan was to also set-up Bale, but that was secondary to the wants and needs of his own ego. Sending Bale to prison was just the icing on the cake. He got to become the greatest magician in London AND take out his arch nemesis at the same time.

I must of missed the line when Robert said that he doesn’t know every time he uses the machine if he would be transported into the water box or to the audience. But I get what you saying, Robert wasn’t sacrificing the clones but himself which is almost the same thing.

Spoilers again. But one way or another the original died anyway even before the end sequence. The first attempt, the one in the machine killed the one out of the machine but every time after that the one entering the machine is the one to die so in either that first trial or the first practice at the trick set up the original died.

It was Alfred at the end the one who loved Sarah, he said something at the end when he was explaining to angier, "he loved Olivia, I loved Sarah" unless I misheard I choose to believe it was Alfred the biological father that survived 🤷

I adore this movie, everything from how the movie itself mirrors a magic trick to the critical use of what would have been a throwaway side character in most movies (Fallon). I highly recommend rewatching sometime. I could honestly write an essay about it, but I'll keep it to one point I haven't seen others touch on yet. In my opinion Bale's acting in this is over the top. If for the sake of clarity we say that 'Fallon' is the one that loves Sarah and the shoots Angier and 'Alfred' is the one who loves Olivia and was hanged, it's actually really clear on rewatch scene-by-scene which one is which. Bale acts Alfred consistently as being much more brash and obsessive while Fallon is much more caring and has a calmer, more composed disposition. The one who buys the house for Sarah is Fallon, the one yelling at the restaurant is Alfred. The one who demands to know Angier's trick is Alfred, the one who says, 'We're done, let it go, we're not going to more showings,' is Fallon. There is a sense of 'justice' (not that anyone in this movie is really innocent) in that the one who instigates the rivalry more often is Alfred, and it leads him to his death.

That's why I read it as well. Or that's what I want to believe it is. Lol
