This movie has more twists than Chubby Checker. David Bowie steals the show(wished he was in longer). Everyone was very good.

It's confusing until it's over! That made me want to watch it again, which I did. I really liked this movie. Did you finish it Pamy?

I just watched this movie and need some help. If you haven't watched it yet, don't read any further of my message or I'll ruin the ending for you. I think I understand it all but for a couple of things. OK, supposedly Tesla invented a way to reproduce a person. Right? And when Angier (Hugh Jackman) reproduced himself, he immediately killed the double. Right? Then when he performed the trick for audiences, his double fell into a tank of water and was drowned in order to take care of the problem of having a double on hand to spoil the trick. So here are my questions--at the very, very end, what's the deal with the double in the tank? when did Angier duplicate himself again after the framing of the other magician (Borden) for Angier's murder? Why and when would he get in the Tesla box again? Did he do one last trick to show the Michael Caine character how it was done? Did Michael Caine know about the twins all along? Why didn't he go to the police as soon as he knew that Anglier was still alive in order to save the framed and doomed Borden? What did Anglier do with all the bodies of his doubles?

After each performance the water tank containing "Angier" was replaced with a new tank and the trick was done that way over & over. There were no preformances after Borden's arrest. The water tanks shown at the end were all used during the tricks' run. I don't think cutter knew that Fallon was Borden's twin but I could be wrong about that. I have a suggestion. go to imdb.com and look in the forum there.

Thanks Ketchuplover--I did a google search and learned a lot! Apparently, you shouldn't watch this movie while doing a crossword puzzle because I didn't realize that there were all the water tanks shown at the end. One more question--wouldn't it have been more cost effective to keep one water tank and just dispose of the double? We probably aren't supposed to get that practical when thinking about the movie--just watch and enjoy.
