I just watched the prestige very confusing?!


Question: so i look at some of the explanations on here and one of them said
"in Danton's transporter man he walks into electricity and the trap door opens and he falls into water tank and drowns and his clone is the one that shows up. So basically he just kept cloning himself and in the end when he dies by getting shot you see all the water tanks with the dead clones. The old man that kept helping him would be downstairs making sure the clone would get locked in the tank so no one would find out how he did his trick."
but if thats the case...then why did the old man really think that danton was murdered if he knew that the whole time he kept drowning himself?
in the beginging i liked danton but at the end i really hes a jerk and the other was really good...it was he look alike that was an *** to his wife.
this is a very confusing movie!!!

Sounds like you got it to me, though I don't recall Micheal Caine knowing that Danton was cloning and killing himself every performance.

Guess I'll have to watch it again.

EDIT - Yes, Bales clone was hanged. Original Bale lived.

it sure is a horrible movie,

it's just about 2 guys doing what it takes to outperform one another... It shows that they're willing to do anything for fame and presitige.


not entertaining at all don't even bother watching it again...What the heck was that dying guy saying in the last 5 min...yAWN*

Ok, Danton was pissed because his wife died and he blamed Christian Bales character. They became rival magicians. The transportter was the trick that utimatly destroyed Danton. He ended up having a cloning device built, by accident, and that is what he used to trap Bales character, knowing that he could not live unless he knew how the trick worked, into being framed for his death. Every night of the show, he knew he would die and his clone would then live. The old man new nothing about the cloning device until later. Danton didn't know that Bales character was a twin and there for he never saw his death coming.

Michael Caine didn't knew that Denton/Angier had a clone. Denton didn't want anybody to know his secret that is why he hired blind men to help him with the work backstage and he told Michael Caine that he didn't want him working in the backstage that time around. What Denton didn't know was that Borden had a twin and that the person he set up to be hanged was only one of the twins and in the end Borden shot him and was reunited with his daughter Jess.
