"You want to be... fooled." The whole movie is like the Prestige itself. We want to be fooled, and that's why we see the air bubble.

As in Inception, we never see if the totem stopped spinning, and that little thought made us doubt a lot of things, if not everything, in the movie... but then again, that's what Inception was all about.

Batman Begins = the pledge

The Dark Knight = the turn

The Dark Knight rises = the prestige

Seen this twice I love it but am always confused by 2 things. 1. Who the fuck is Tesla and whats his connection to Borden and 2. All the Angiers that drowned were clones and the original Lord Caldwell was always the pledge guy who would pop out in the balcony?? Or what

[calypso748]

you should've made the ending scene play from when fallon says 'abrakadabra' to when borden returns to his daughter. those are my two favourite parts of the ending

@7Rabuja Well put.

@jackytreehornn77 I've seen it. :)

I'd be flattered if it was, but I doubt it.

just a fan throwing out a theory.

@bond626007 Wow, I wonder if your post was the inspiration for the "Dark Knight Rises - Prestige Style" trailer. If you haven't seen it, you gotta check it out.

@Midironica whats the rest of it, when he said if you can just fool them for a second?

You cut the video before the best part, when Hugh explains how the magicians role of creating illusion and the unexplainable is a noble pursuit. We modern humans try so hard to see and know everything to such an extent that life for many becomes stale and predictable. The magician provides us with that whisper of a thrill, that one note of wonder which no man may fully explain. It reminds us that some things should just remain insolvable i.e. the creation of the universe.

Here is the genius of the film: the Borden's were twins, they're sacrifice was akin to the Chinese magician.....Angier was cloned when he stepped into Tesla's machine, sometimes the Angier that stepped into the machine dropped into the water tank & died, sometimes he transported & the clone drowned, Angier never knew where he would end up, that's why it took "courage each night to step into the machine, not knowing", his sacrifice was like the canaries. Pure genius.

"you didn't see where you were... look around"
