So.....did machine work or not?
yes batman used the machine once and shared the glory with his clone and wolverine kept killing them
This movie disappoint. They way they plotted to drug the duke, then trick and goad him into committing suicide by spreading false rumours of him wanting to coup his emporer father was just cheap.
>>216024563This bait is multilayered
>>216023911What the fuck do you think him shooting his clone was?
>>216023911You know what the stupidest part of this entire thing was? He kept wanting to use it to do the act. He could simply have bought a bunch of gold and replicated it
>>216023911Lmao bruh i didnt unerstan this shit fr i was on my phone within like 30 mins shit was so boring fr i think the machine was like something to do with teleporting? I was really high lol
>>216024657he wanted The Prestige (2006)
he was killing himself every time.only the clone survived.
i don't know
>>216024657He was already rich as fick. He was a lord back when that still meant something. He just wanted to dunk on batman. Did you even watch the movie?
>>216023911something I never understooddidn't he get the machine from tesla because he thought the other guy was also using a machine from tesla? But once he got the machine he must've realized that clearly wasn't the case, right? And yet he keeps doing the rip-off trick because... why exactly?
>>216024762Because his trick was now better than bales trick. Thus humiliating his rival by one upping him in a way that he knows that bale can't figure out.
probably nolan's best movie.i suspect the secret to a good christopher nolan movie, is jonathan nolan writing it.
Possibly the best she's ever looked
>>216023911Bro u lowkey missed the whole point lmao like does it even matter?? No dude by the end of the movie these guys fr took their lil feud beyond space and time and all human comprehension at tremendous cost to themselves and everyone around them and for what? Nothing my dude there was no point to any of it they're just obsessive petty men regular people the likes of which you actually know and surround you in your everyday life the whole shit with the frame narrative and Tesla's machine and Scarlett Johansson it was all just artificial bullshit disguising to the audience (YOU!! lmao) the mundane fact of the matter that we so desperately wish not to acknowledge, that we each and every one of us fr be out here straight GEEKIN going DEMON MODE over some dumb bullshit on the regular, that this story is so simple and straightforward and pedestrian and we, the audience (YOU NIGGA ) just WANT TO BELIEVE it's something transcendental something more than just the life we are all already living lmfao
>>216025260Oof madone
movie would have been better if bale got his twin using the machine instead of always having a twin
>>216025260Very nice. Now let’s see Rebecca Hall’s “The Prestige” fits.
>>216025291dis effortpost be coal af ngl bruh
>>216023911Cutter and Borden worked together to get rid of both Angier and the reckless Borden clone by performing an ultimate version of the bird cage trick where the Borden clone "disappears" by execution and the original Borden escapes with his daughter

>>216025389Does that mean you liked it
What I never understood was why didn't he just keep one clone? Why did he have to make it so he'd have to keep killing clones? He could have just did what Bale did.
>>216026560Because he was afraid the clone would kill him. Which it would, because it was an exact clone and had the same fear.Whereas Christian Bale's clone was wasn't exactly the same and they were best buds.Also, the trick was real magic so as long as he kept doing it that way he has a 'better' show.
>>216023911I really liked this movie until the last third when it became supernatural. That really disappointed me
>>216024723He could've used his lordship to arrest Batman, clone him every other day, kill one of the Batman, and do it until he got bored. But he didn't.
>>216026684There's nothing supernatural about science though
>>216024657Or he could've kept the original clone he made and did the trick the same way Angier did it.
>>216023911I was so surprised and hyped when David Bowie shows up in this movie. I was doing that leo meme where hes pointing at the TV
anons is that movie with christian bale where he does the crazy martial art shits with the guns good? should i watch
>>216025260Can someone explain why 1 twin couldn't be with his wife and 1 be with Scarlett?
The machine wasn't real lol. This board gets browner by the day
>>216026709That wouldn't make him a better magician
>>216026560>>216026638uh no, you fools.he is killing himself. the teleporter creates the clone. so the one that ends up somewhere else is the clone. he dies. you're missing the most striking piece of the character.
>>216026859Love or something, it's a nolan movie and nolan doesn't understand, or by the look of his movies, ever felt loveSo to him is a magical thing, but not "beautiful ethereal magical", more like The Force magical, something you can channel or something, the man is an autistHere, love "prevents" happyness as the wifes "know" the twin she got doesn't "love force" them
>>216026859devotion to his act, literally explained in the movie
>>216026944>the teleporter creates the clone. so the one that ends up somewhere else is the cloneNever stablished.You don't know
>>216023911Why would you fill a warehouse full of fake dolls
>>216026990https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4Rrj5eRdy0it's explained, your just stupid.go watch cbs where they repeat the answer 12 times between every commercial ya dirty animal.
>>216024657It's also really stupid that Bale is the one who sends Hugh Jackman to Tesla as a trick to make him waste his time, only for Tesla to make a magic cloning box for him anyway.
>>216027018no. he doesn't know if he is the original or the clone himself
Dumb people in this thread
>>216027175boy ai is getting assertively dumb.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3utO5bNkdvgassertively. dumb.
>>216027175they explain what prestige means multiple times in the movie thoughand it's not that
>>216026788But the entire point is that he didn't want to devote his entire life to the trick like Bale did.
>>216025291This place must be turning my brain into mayonnaise because this is the best insight into this movie I've ever read
>>216024837but he never even figured out bales trick! he's just using fucking science wizardry, it's not the same as a clever magic trick. If he knew how bales trick was done he wouldn't need to clone himself, he's gotta be losing sleep over this, but in the film he suddenly doesn't care?
>>216027198That hats were planted and he fell for it tad
>>216027018Could he just not have done the same thing Christian Bale did, since now he essentially has an identical twin? I suppose he had too much pride and couldn't stomach being the one who had to wear the disguise all the time and not have The Prestige (2006)
>>216025260Thats a low bar
>>216026765Science is against The Holy Bible. It’s sorcery.
>>216024837It's wasn't a trick though. Switching with your identical twin is a trick. Literally cloning yourself and killing the original is super science. There is no illusion.
>>216027898Proverbs 25:2 says otherwise.
>>216028068This
>>216026788There's a plot scene with the lookalike. Having to rely on someone with their own free will to help you has its own risk. Jackedman doesn't want to repeat that mistake.
>>216027175The birdcage trick. Why am I even replying when he has to have watched the movie in order to craft this bait.
>>216027175Holy based
>>216026638Bale’s double was an actual twin, not a clone. Tesla hadn’t built the machine yet until Angier showed up and commissioned it, but Borden was already living his shared life. He couldn’t have been a clone because the cloning tech didn’t exist yet.
the machine didnt work. he just had lots of twin brothers. and a wooby da soize of Burma
>>216027175Show the Reddit and Quora source
>>216028577This
>>216027175That's an old reddit fan theory that the AI is asserting as fact.
>>216023911Yes the trick workedYes he killed himself every night to make sure the trick worked.
>>216024657He was an artist, not a poorfag. You wouldn't get it.
>BRO HE MADE AN ELABORATE ROOM FULL OF FAKES OF HIMSELF SO WHEN THE GUY HE THOUGHT WAS DEAD SHOWED UP UNEXPECTEDLY WOULD BE TRICKED INTO BELIEVING THE MACHINE WAS REAL
Bale could have just cloned himself using the machine to replace his twin in the end but he didn't listen
>>216031191This
>>216031246Why on other he would do that?
>>216033402Based esl retard
>>216027175AI Overview is a Reddit top post summarizer. It's literally like using "search term+reddit"
>>216033478Thanks
>>216031191>And we call it....The Aristocrats!
>>216031246which one was actually executed though? alfred or freddie?
>>216023911Yes the machine worked. After you watch the movie enough times you will realize how stupid it is. Bravo Nolan
>>216036026but the machine is real and works in the original novel too. why are you blaming nolan. btw which nolan, cause jonathan wrote the screenplay
>>216036154https://twitter.com/DonnieDarkened/status/1527804590967619585
>>216024657it's nolan movie, of course it's retarded
>>216023911work, but not as intended. the movie explain that pretty well
>>216027175thanks for your input, rapesingh
>>216036155The movie is stupid because of where the clone is created. The first time the clone was 15 feet away then when he creates clones during his performances, the clone appears in different spots each time and never 15 feet away. I love the movie, but that's a major flaw with the movie.
>>216027175It clearly worked because the scene where Huge Jackedman is shocked to see himself standing in front of him and then killing the guy says it worked.
>>216036374that seems like kind of a weird thing to get hung up on. maybe he learned to dial in where the clone was going to appear after tinkering with the device. it is heavily implied that they built the theater layout around the device which would imply he figured out where the clone would appear. calling it a major flaw is more than a stretch. he always appears on the balcony
>>216036439>maybe he learned>maybeThis should have been shown in the movie.
>>216026906He could have practiced the Joker's pencil magical trick
>>216036488its already a 2 hour and 10 min film. sometimes you have to leave stuff on the cutting room floor
>>216027054>It's also really stupid thatthat my friend... is irony>>216028068do you faggots not understand what irony is? what story telling is?wolverine wanted to do a trick, but instead of coming out with a trick, he bought a science machine that did it for him, thus making him the inferior magician while at the same time in wolverines mind he coped and seethed that he had won and was the best magician
>>216036536Whatever Nolan, just admit this is a major flaw. Enough time has passed.
>>216023911Been a while. Thanks for the reminder to rewatch.
>>216025332i consider this a plothole because he's obviously a clone and not a twin
>>216036488>they should have showed him tinkering with the machine to make things appear in different locationsLegit autism.
>>216036640Even batman thought he had the better trick and seethed even though wolverine didn't actually have a better trick which led him to try to figure out wolverines trick and fall into his trap.
>>216026560>>216026638>Because he was afraid the clone would kill him.yeah, this. He knew after that first incident
>>216036868Its not a plot hole because if bale had used the machine to get a clone then he would know how Jackman was pulling off his trick and would never have been compelled to go to his show to try to figure out the trick.
>>216036933and then he sent jackman on a wild goose chase to tesla who, coincidentally, could create real magic of cloning
Are you guys pretending to be retarded or did you really not understand the plot?
>>216037048No there are a lot of 90iq browns who can't parse basic Nolan plotting
>>216036894yes, they both got got , its what makes the film so kino, perhaps the last true nolan kino
>>216036955Tesla was trying to do teleportation. He accidentally made a duplication machine.
>>216037254>film so movie
>>216035953They took turns
>>216037305he wrote in a diary that the method for a trick is TESLA and then, by sheer coincidence, Tesla can create clones, come on now
>>216037441i wasnt talking about the wifes asshole
>>216038440but on the other hand if they were clones, he would know how jackman did the trick
>>216028076Fedora tippers BTFO
>>216038440He wrote in the diary TESLA is the keyword to the cipher not the key to the trick itself.
>>216039204that doesn't change anything. It's a huge coincidence that Tesla is a guy who can make clones
>>216024657> You know what the stupidest part of this entire thing was?That the machine actually works.
he shoulda cloned 50 scarlet johansons and kept them in a dungeon and that was the twist
>>216036759Just finished rewatch. Kino. Love this movie.
>>216039442in the book the original dies when the copy is made. he doesnt have to drown them. when borden figures out whats happening and shuts the machine off both the original and the copy live but they are both all fucked up and weak
>>216040279>muh bookWho cares? We discuss kino here. Not nerd books for nerds.
>>216038745The good twin. The one that killed Angier's wife died
>>216039309It's supposed to be ironic and serendipitous that Nikola Tesla is so intelligent that when he gets asked to build and impossible machine he actually builds it
>>216041468Kino
>>216023911>Literally shown multiple times in the film that the machine works>Literally shows copies of himself dead in the tanks at the end
>>216042429i missed that part i was on my phone
So how did he escape? We literally see him hang. I can't stand when movies show you "false" scenes like oh you were supposed to know that didn't actually happen and was some dream or "what if" story.
>>216025260nah
>>216042705Obviously he used magic anon
>>216042705He literally said abracadbra as they were about to hang him. Do you need Nolan to draw you a picture or something?
>>216024657You dont get it. Its about the prestige.
