\"The Prestige\" wtf? (spoilers)
This is the thread for people who've seen the Prestige. If you haven't seen it and don't want the experience spoiled, bounce.
Okay. I give this movie a 6.5/10. If they cut 90% that "do you love me" [censored] I would have given it an 8. Pretty cool movie but wtf was the deal with the "there's still something you need to figure out" speech at the end. Gay. Also the death of Jackman's original wife and subsequent "I don't remember" defense don't make sense. Holes? Theories?

Re: \"The Prestige\" wtf? (spoilers)
Yeah, the last 4 sentences of the movie were a little off-putting. It was as if the movie makers were trying to say "we're better than you. You're all fish/noobs." Walking out of the movie and listening to my friends reaction to the movie and the bizarre speech at the end, it seemed like that speech killed for them what I thought was a pretty good movie.
Quite a disturbing movie too. Enjoyable. Note: could we refer to the characters as Vergier/Danton and Morder/Professor instead of by their real names? Makes it confusing for noobs like me.

Re: \"The Prestige\" wtf? (spoilers)
I'm ok with the ending if:
They don't show us the gun before jackman tries cloning himself the first time and they don't show him shooting the first clone in the sequence near the end. Doing so kills their reveal since even the nubest audiance member knows wtf is going on at this point and pulling back to show all the dead clones becomes worthless.

That is the only explanation for him not knowing which knot was used. But if that is true, then why did they switch off working in the beginning? (when Danton's wife died)
