Were you surprised by 'The Prestige'?

The fact that there are so many blogs about this movie shows what an amazing movie it really is. I’m glad i had no idea what the movie was about before i saw it and i definitely didn’t figure it all out and i thought the movie was great. I have to admit i did not want to believe that this ‘transporter/replicator’ actually worked; i wanted to believe all the ‘tricks’ were pure magic. I wanted to believe that the person who died in the tank was the out of work drunk actor and angier’s killed him to frame Borden. It became evident that Angier was still alive when the Count ‘whoever’ wanted Borden’s secret….I think though in the end yes, the machine replicated Angier’s and the original Angier was immediately killed by the first clone. It kind of sucks that the explanatation (twist) ended up being fantasmagoric. (also every night the “machine” was taken away – really the corpses – but i thought that it was taken away to keep it safe from Borden getting his hands on it- i had no idea that there were dead angier’s in a water tank) For those of you who say you figured it all out in the first few minutes you guys must be really really smart, you should all work for the CIA.

It is really very very simple. As Bale’s character in the end implicates he was the one who loved Sarah, therefore he was Jess’s father, who was reunited with her in the end. As a whole both characters are ruthless. I won’t say one is good or bad but magical supremacy drove both magicians to do ruthless things. It is clear that the transporting device teleports the original Jackmann, leaving his duplicate in the machine. Thus in flashback the real Angier died, shot by his duplicate. That duplicate carried on Angier’s role to then end until he was killed by Borden (Bale). This is evident because duplicate Angier at the end creates a flash back showing he was the one who shot the original. As for which Borden is which: the Borden at the end is the one who was mostly Fallon. When Sarah tells him she is pregnant, she realises that he does not love her, so he is the one who later falls in love with Olivia (Johansson)- to be continued

Thus the one who was Fallon at the time was Sarah’s lover, who was captured by Cutter and buried alive. That’s why at the dinner table that evening Borden says he nearly lost someone very dear to him and looking at Fallon’s mortified look from being buried alive it is clear that they had not switched at all between then. Then they switch becaue Sarah is comforted the next day by her true lover, because she can tells that he really still loves her. He then tells his brother (Olivia’s lover) that Sarah knows something is up. After Sarah’s death the one who loved Olivia is the one who actually loved her. After “The real transported man” is shown that same twin is the on shouting at Sarah’s lover, because he is the one obsessed with besting Angier. He also goes backstage and is consequently jailed for Angier’s “murder”. Thus Sarah’s lover and Jess’s father is the one who was never jailed and reuninted with Jess at the climax of the film to live happily ever after.

Bwahaha (^_^) um.. Kofi.. go read the book and stop confusing the dear readers.

Did Borden’s wife really kill herself or did the evil twin actually make it look like she did? There was no fallen chair by her hanging body (like there normally is) so how did she get herself up there? Remember when she (the wife) said to one of the Bordens that she “knew who he was”…

all i know is i watched the Prestige and i probably still wouldnt undersatand it even if i was smoking crack and shooting heroine at the same time. No joke i watched that movie and know i am writing this comment inside the walls of a insane asylum. Peace and love

Uh, youre a freaking moron, and if you think and act in real life the way you present yourself here, you should be under lock and key and straightjacket. Ignorance is bliss, and you are bloody ecstatic!
