Do you side with one of the characters?
Nooooo. I just believe that Angier couldn't let it go.
Hey, he let an innocent man die. He is not a good person.

Borden. Dude, he's christian bale! no choice!
I am with Angier.
It feels as if he is trying to find his lost family and keeps Borden's daughter so she wouldn't suffer.
and his lines at the end,"The audience knows the truth.The world is simple.It's miserable.Solid... Solid all the way through.But if you could fool them,even for a second...then you could make them wonder.And then you... got to see something very special.You really don't know.It was......it was the look on their faces." (Is that Angier or is that Nolan talking about art of movie making?)
also Borden 2.Good god, he has no life of his own.he has to be either fallon or his brother who is obsessed with magic who cuts his fingers in their WORKSHOP!WITH BUNCH OF SCRAPS!

I side with Borden by the end. For the first part of the film, we are more likely to side with Angier, but by the end, he takes the rivalry waaaay too far. He lets an innocent Borden hang, and then tries to take his daughter away from him. He's the one who takes their rivalry too far by the time the film is over, and the relationship between Borden and his daughter becomes the emotional focus of the film.
umm... we can't be sure about that.steveportee wrote:He lets an innocent Borden hang,

I think he means that Borden was still kind of guilty for the death of Angier's wife.steveportee wrote:please, do explain yourselfbruce_angier wrote:umm... we can't be sure about that.

well, that's not what he was hanged for
By the court system, he wasn't. Morally, he was.steveportee wrote:well, that's not what he was hanged for
