The Prestige

[bethany]

SPOILERS ahead.

Ok, so I finally watched The Prestige last night. I  saw the ending coming a ways away and was a little disappointed that the reveal wasn't something a little less obvious. But I'm still thinking about it. At what point (if ever)  did  Cutter know what was going on? Did he know about what Angier was doing, or just Bordon? Or both? And at what point? And did Bordon know what Tesla could do? When Angier is talking to Tesla or Andy Serkis about the machine he made for another magician, don't they know what he's talking about? Or did I just fill in the blanks there? I like to think that Bordon didn't know about Tesla's machine, what it could do, but then it just seems way too convenient that he actually had by pure coincidence an awesome machine that would enable Angier to pull off this magic trick.

Hmmm. It's weird cause it wasn't like it was all that super fantastic awesome as I was watching it, but I find it has a strange grip on me.

You ask a lot of interesting questions...none of which I really have the answer to!

I figured out the fact that there would be two Hugh Jackman's (I'm getting the names confused in my head right now, so that's the easy way of saying it).  I didn't see the two Christian Bale's, though - although I entertained the thought when his brother said goodbye at the prison.  I just kind of had that strange feeling, but I wasn't sold on it.
