Ive always found this movie to be incredibly overhyped. I think I’m in the minority but having watched it twice it just doesn’t stand out to me.

Dustin Lollar

Nice! Is this the first Spoiler thumbnail?

I'm not a fan either, but then again, Nolan + this cast + twisty gotcha plot isn't exactly my thing.

i mean.. is it though? if you've never seen the movie (which i dunno why anyone who hasnt seen it would be watching a reaction of it), would you even understand its meaning without context? and its not like this is their only thumbnail that references something in the movie. hell the previous one Dogma has George as the shit demon.

Mikael Brink Frederiksen

Regarding the lightbulb thing, that is totally real, and I've seen it demonstrated many times at an electricity museum close to my childhood home A Tesla coil basically emits "wireless electicity" (don't know precisely how it works though) and can light up old timey lightbulbs in free air, if you are close enough Also worth noting: they are absolutely not safe if they are that size! There's a reason why they are always put in a cage when demonstrated

Why does the thumbnail have George alongside Mitch Hedberg?

There is something i never understood about the movie: The guy thats falls is the clone and the guy that appears above is the original? In that case, the machine is cloning the clone, where is that clone? If that's NOT THE CASE, and there is only 2 Huge, he has to clone himself again before the show, but they don't show it in the movie?

The machine creates a clone in the rafters, and the original falls into the box through the trap door. Each time he does a show, he kills himself, and the clone does the next show.

I thought about that but i why the machine send him right there? With Tesla was far away, outside the building The first time he did it was in front of him, had to shoot him And on stage is at a random place at the theater It seems like it can be at any place, not always there

My favorite Nolan movie. As far as I know, Michael Caine has only done one movie with a different accent -- The Cider House Rules, where he does a New England accent (and he also won an Oscar for it).

The machine required calibration. In Colorado, it was at random places. By the time they used it in theater, Angier had probably done it tens of times and he probably appeared exactly where he wanted to. If it was random, he could have appeared in mid-air and broken his legs.

Niklas Ericsson

You guys mentioned watching Beyonce in Goldmember. Will you be uploading that soon?

The movie never specifies if the double or the original (if there even is such a thing at that point) falls through the trap door, because it's irrelevant. "They are all your hats."

PIG

Recommending Christopher Nolan's movie "Memento". His best. Incredible movie but, for Simone, it's also an excellent puzzle for viewers.

Tyler Foster

If I understand it correctly, the machine is not *just* cloning but also teleporting. So it sends the original off to the side and creates a clone that stays behind in the machine. At the end of the movie, Angier talks about the cost of "stealing someone else's work," and the Angier that appears outside the machine says "No, I'm not -- " before the Angier in the machine shoots him, so the implication is that the first clone Angier steals the work of the real Angier by shooting him at that moment, and then for the rest of the movie, the clone Angier has set it up so the clone dies by falling through the trapdoor, and he comes out of the machine alive.

Sheriff Uchiha

The machine isn't a teleporter. It can't move matter, only create it. If it were built with a disintegrator to destroy the original, it would be. However, it doesn't. So the original has to be dealt with; that is the price for using it. If it did destroy the original completely, it would be a teleporter, and not even the one using it could tell. From the clone's perspective, he goes on stage and then teleports to the rafters. From the view of the one in the box, nothing happened, and he was just dropped from the stage into a tank. That is what Robert is talking about when he says he never knows if he will be the one in the box or the one in the prestige. Every time he uses it, from his perspective, there is a 50/50 chance he will die. Also, it was 100 shows, five a week. So 20 weeks. One hundred bodies maximum, plus the one from the first test that got shot. But we don't know during which of the 100 shows Bordon fell for the bait. But we know that was Robert's intention because he told Cutter he needed a show that Bordon couldn't ignore. So Robert's plan for his final run was always to "fake" his death and frame Bordon for his "murder." Lastly, the Bordon who shot Robert said he loved Sarah, meaning he is Jess's father. And said the one that got hanged loved Oliva. I don't think the brothers would sleep with each other's wife/girlfriend. And they shared whole days, and "Alfred Bordon" has a wife, a daughter and an assistant. So each brother has to spend time with all three. You should rewatch the film again; there are many hints that Bordon is two people, like how he broke into Sarha's apartment or how he "changed his mind" about buying a house.

Seconding this suggestion, and I also agree it's his best work.

Which is how the Star Trek transporter probably work, even if they would never acknowledge it. See the CGP Grey video for the detailed physics explanation.

Sheriff Uchiha

Oh, I know of that. That's why Bones never uses it. It is proven in the episode where the teleporter "malfunctions" and a clone is made; I think it was Spock that got cloned, but I could be mistaken. If you want to see a story that expands on the concept of teleportation and matter copying, you should read the manga Gantz. Spoiler, it starts with people being teleported at the moments of their deaths, but it is later revealed they were just copied, and the originals really did die.

Yes Man Invention of Lying The Longest yard Let’s get some comedies!

Calum Grace

Loved this reaction! One of my favourite Nolan movies. Petition for you guys to react to a young Michael Caine movie at some point, like GET CARTER (1971), THE IPCRESS FILE (1965) or even THE ITALIAN JOB (1969)

Invention of Lying was such an underrated movie. Such a great idea i can't believe wasn't done before then ]

Liesmith

I recommend Garth Marenghi's Darkplace.

Jeb Manning

That thumbnail makes Simone look just like 70's Paul Williams. It's pretty uncanny.

JoeNotCharles

George, I see you're a fan of Nikola Tesla. Ever read Atomic Robo? Fantastic comic, about a robot built by Tesla. The flashbacks to his "youth" where Tesla's raising him are the best.

Stefan

The thing about Angier and Tesla's machine is that Angier didn't know if he would be the one drowning or the one in the prestige. All he knows about the machine is that he used it and stepped out of the other side... and shot the second Angier. No way to tell if he was the clone or the original person.
